I have issues with MSNBC for firing Baldwin for something he said to a paparazzi away from his studio.. Tasteless and nasty? Yes. But worth getting fired over? No. If he had said it on -air- (see Bashir, Martin and the defecation comment) then I wouldn't have had an issue over his firing.

I had issues with Deen getting fired for something that supposedly happened YEARS ago. (Again, the incident was never proven, the cooking channel just said... "It happened and we're shutting you down")

I have issues with what A&E is doing to Phil Robertson and Duck Dynasty. (and it seems that A&E's facebook page is BLOWING up with people saying that they're basically no longer watching the channel...)

When Juan Williams got fired from his NPR gig for answering a question honestly (with no nastiness involved in his comments), I had issues with NPR firing him.

No way do I trust FOX with a possible bid for the DD show... let's not forget that FOX, FOX-News, FOX-Sports, etc.. are all run by different personalities.

I do think that if this isnt' fixed by A&E, the Robertson will be shopping out their contact BACK to the Learning Channel or National Geographic as soon as possible. (I believe their contract only runs on a season-to-season basis)

How come some people get away with spewing hate from their mouths (the ladies of The View come to mind, Letterman, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Chris Matthews) but others get in trouble or canned? Why is it ok to offend some groups but not others?

I guess those that get canned offended the wrong people.

Was thinking more along the lines of FOX news.

They are on networks that support their views...AE is his employer...he pissed off his employer and got suspended...not losing sleep.

Jon Stewart and Colbert spewing hate? LOL...Stewart, Colbert, Maher are comedians...if you don't like their shtick just flip back to Fox News like a good little zombie and celebrate white Santa/white Jesus with megyn

Hey, I like Bones!!!

Ironically, A&E hasn't been much better with their lineup in recent history. I mean the only two "good" shows that they've done is picking up Duck Dynasty and Storage Wars.

I will say that I'm going to miss Longmire when it comes back on for next season :(

Uhm... maybe you should see the threats of people turning off A&E from here on out? I think A&E execs are going to be losing sleep on this one until they reverse this decision.

No, if you speak up on politics ON-AIR repeatedly... you're a political opinionist, not just a comedian. They may try to hide behind that label, but they still fall in the realm of not just the latter, but the former as well.

I laugh at all these so called followers of Christ that are clueless about what he stood for. Most people on this board included.

And poor persecuted Christians - they want to spew hatred, ignorance and bigotry, but when they get called on their hatred and intolerance, they cry like the ******* they are.


fortunately, America is quickly ignoring idiots like this.

You care to point to what the man said that is hateful or bigoted?

OK...political-comedian...semantics.

When I watch Jon Stewart it's to laugh at the jokes...not find out about current events.

I figured you were trashing one of my fave crime shows uofM (Castle, Psych and Bones are my three faves) :) So I had to defend Bones.... (even if some of the stories about some of the actors make me wonder about their heads at times...)

You want to point to where Glaad or any of the other militant gay groups have called out their crusader and Obamas "anti-bully" campaign head Dan Savage for the things he has said and done?

What exactly did this man say to offend you? Honestly.

Glee and Bones feature gay characters and have large gay audiences...according to google anyway.

I'm not offended...I have no idea who Glaad dislikes...I've said over and over I consider Savage nothing more than a shock jock looking for attention.

I simply feel that he signed a contract...AE is his employer...and if he starts babbling off at the mouth and pisses off his bosses...it's their right to suspend him.

Any more questions?

So claiming to be comedian lets you off with the PC police?

What a damn joke.

One.. although she's gone back to "straight" as well.

But you notice that those on the social conservative beliefs aren't asking for those shows to be shut down or suspended.
