Fuck the Duck DyNASTY

It's funny how much conservatives value the free market until there's consumer backlash against someone, or a corporation, because someone makes bigoted comments. Freedom of speech doesn't exempt you from public criticism for hate speech. Phil Robertson has the right to say what he wants, and A&E has the right to respond however they think is appropriate to protect their network. It's that simple.

For me and I believe most cable subscribers... it is in the package....maybe even available with basic cable. So...how does one just cancel A&E?

A&E is part of some basic cable thing so you have to dump damn near everything but broadcast channels to get rid of it.

It does show, however, that DD viewers are likely not the pick of the orchard.
