I'm going to e-mail C-D my opinion and let them know unless there is an apology my 94 Plymouth van is the last product I'll ever own from them. I WAS going looking over the next few months but C-D is off the list unless something changes.
Then again this brings up a situation I'm confronted with on a daily basis when I do radio news. The company executive IS entitled to his opinion. Heck, even if he's a total socialist he should be able to say waht he believes as long as it isn't company policy.
Supposedly when I do news I am not to have my own opinion, but I can tell you I unapologetically stack my newscasts with articles from the right. When I do commentary or editorialize it's from the conservative side as well. That makes LOTS of listeners call in and complain, but as far as I'm concerned I'm entitled to MY opinion as long as it's clear the station remains unbiased.
It's kinda the same with marketing surveys. I'm usually excluded because I work in the meda BUT don't I still use products and shouldn't I be able to voice my opinion about the ones I use?

Sure he can have an opinion and say what he believes.
But, when he makes PUBLIC statements, other people have a right to draw conclusions from his statements, and to decide to support or not support his organization.
