...”Actually, the Daily Mail said that an A&E representative was present when Phil had his interview with GQ and could have had the statements in question removed but didn’t.
This is beginning to sound like Phil was set up by A&E. For what purpose, I don’t know”...
I record THE FIVE from FOXNEWS each day and was just watching the recording from yesterday. Dana Perino said A&E knew about Phil’s remarks for three months and did nothing.
Phil has been saying these things publicly for many years, so A & E is indeed being a bit disingenuous when they act like it’s news to them. What’s different is Phil’s comments were printed in Gentlemens Quarterly, a “Men’s Fashion” magazine.
A big “DUH” about who their readers are.
If I were the CEO of A&E, I would most certainly not be above such shenanigans.;-)
It's a win-win scenario.
Phil gets the Gospel out there, A&E shows it's sensitive to GLAAD (but only temporarily since they will soon reinstate Phil), the gays and conservative get a chance to rant and rave, folks who have never heard of DD now know enough to tune in, and loyal fans buy up existing merchandise in a show of support.
