ReplyDeleteA&E Grapples With Death Threats And Clan Ultimatum On ‘Duck Dynasty’ Star Suspension
By LISA DE MORAES
UPDATE, 2:45 PM: Some Washingtonians were disappointed this afternoon when no one stepped up to ask President Obama a Duck Dynasty question during his last news conference of the calendar year.
The disappointed ones had a pool going, in re which reporter would ask POTUS a question about the recently suspended Duck Dynasty star.
...
A&E has no plans to edit down, or out, show patriarch Phil Robertson’s appearances in the nine episodes that have already been completed of the show’s upcoming 10-episode fifth season, scheduled to debut on January 15.
And it is hoping he will be back for Season 6.
That said, the network is giving some thought to pushing back start of production on the next batch of episodes currently slated for spring, according to informed sources, as it attempts to see what it can salvage from the wreck left by this week’s GQ article and newly unearthed Phil video.
In that 2010 video, Robertson is seen making an impassioned speech against the “gross sexual immorality” of “women with women” and “men with men.” The video, first uploaded by various attendees of a Wild Game Supper of the Berean Bible Church, somewhere in Pennsylvania, shows Robertson alternately demonstrating bird calls, defining his pursuit of happiness as “to blow a duck’s head smooth off,” and discussing the “shameful lust” going on in this country.
“Women with women. Men with men.
They committed indecent acts with one another.
And they received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion,”
Robertson said in the video.
“They’re full of murder, envy, strife, hatred.
They are insolent, arrogant God haters.
They are heartless, they are faithless, they are senseless, they are ruthless, they invent ways of doing evil.”
PREVIOUS, 8:47 AM:
A&E Network has had to beef up security at its New York headquarters after receiving death threats and suspicious packages from people enraged about the network’s decision to suspend Duck Dynasty patriarch Phil Robertson.
No formal meetings are schedule today between A&E and the Robertson clan, who yesterday issued a statement saying they “cannot imagine” doing the show without Phil —
which, loosely translated, means “No Phil – no show.”
That said, the network, which has had a good working relationship with the family
(as the clan noted in its statement), is “always talking to them,”
as one source with knowledge of the family said.
The decision to suspend Phil Robertson triggered a firestorm and has created some strange bedfellows;
last night Jon Stewart defended Phil’s “right to say ignorant shit” —
joining Phil defenders Sarah Palin, who’d tweeted
“Those ‘intolerants’ hatin’ and taking on the Duck Dynasty patriarch for voicing his personal opinion are taking on all of us,”
and Republican Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, who’d pronounced it
“It is a messed up situation when Miley Cyrus gets a laugh, and Phil Robertson gets suspended.”
Network quiet amid petitions calling for boycott over 'Duck Dynasty' move
ReplyDeleteBy Breeanna Hare
(CNN) -- While boycott petitions against "Duck Dynasty" home A&E take off, the network itself is staying quiet.
Since its Wednesday decision to "indefinitely" suspend Phil Robertson, one of the stars of its highly rated reality series, A&E has yet to publicly clarify what the future of the show might be, what they'll do with their block of reruns, or even what it really means to be "indefinitely" suspended.
The network's lack of communication has done nothing to stem the tide of detractors who strongly disagree with its decision to put Robertson on the bench over remarks quoted in GQ magazine, in which he called homosexuality a sin, citing the Bible. A Change.org petition demanding that Robertson be reinstated and the network issue an apology was steadily climbing toward 100,000 signatures Friday.
A separate petition at a website called IStandWithPhil.com makes a similar appeal. Hosted by the online community Faith Driven Consumers, the website helps its members spend their money with companies that fall in line with their spiritual beliefs. The petition on IStandWithPhil.com had surpassed 130,000 signatures by Friday evening.
Those who've signed the IStandWithPhil.com petition are asking for their "views (to) be treated with equality and respect in America's rich rainbow of diversity," and for the "network to immediately reinstate Mr. Robertson to 'Duck Dynasty,' and to formally apologize to him, his family, and the millions of viewers who tune in every week, stand by him, and share his worldview."
http://www.cnn.com/2013/12/20/showbiz/tv/duck-dynasty-boycott/
"While the LGBT community may be offended by his opposing viewpoint," that webstite continues, "your rash, discriminatory, and unfair treatment toward Mr. Robertson -- a recognized symbol of the faith community -- is a slap in the face to Faith Driven Consumers and everyday Americans alike."
DeleteBoth websites are urging people not to watch A&E programming in the meantime.
So far, the number of petitioners doesn't compare with the millions that "Duck Dynasty" has drawn to A&E -- its fourth-season premiere in August set a record with 11.8 million watching, and the season finale in October brought in 8.4 million -- but those signatures would give any network exec flop sweat. Especially when the rest of the Robertson family has stoked the fire with a statement that suggests the future of the show might be in jeopardy.
"We have had a successful working relationship with A&E but, as a family, we cannot imagine the show going forward without our patriarch at the helm," the family said in a statement. "We are in discussions with A&E to see what that means for the future of 'Duck Dynasty.'"

We were camping out that way once, doing survival training, and one night Quirk wandered over to the river to take a leak, fell in, and went over the Falls without even a life belt.
I saw him go over. The only thing I can compare it to is Slim Pickens riding that nuke bomb down into Russialand. Q was waving his arms and yelling 'yohooooooo....'.
We hiked down the next morning, and there Q was sound asleep on the shore, snoring the vodka off.

7 Bodies Found on One of the Busiest Beaches in Veracruz
ReplyDeleteBorderland Beat Reporter Havana Pura
XALAPA,
Locals from the town of Alvarado, Veracruz reported finding seven half-buried bodies in a vacant area entering Playa La Cava. The bodies showed signs of torture and various gunshot wounds.
Elements of the Secretary of the Mexican Navy, the Federal and State and officers of the Attorney General of the State (PGJE) moved immediately to the site where they were found the bodies of four men and three women.
The discovery occurred last Thursday the 19th, but until now wasn't revealed.
Police beat reporters who arrived at the scene said they received phone calls from Javier Duarte, government spokesman to not broadcast the news.
The bodies were taken to the city medical examiner to determine the cause of death and identification.
The perpetrators left no message with the bodies.
The only thing that is known is that the victims had bruises on different parts of the body and marks from the gun.
The area where the bodies were found is one of the main entrances to the beaches of Alvarado.
Playa La Cava is one of the busiest entry point for tourists coming from all over the country.
A mile away is the Anton Lizardon Naval Academy
The PGJE said it has opened the ministerial case 429/2013.
The statement came a day after the discovery the bodies.

ReplyDeleteAnonymous sources are not as accountable as they could be.
Only in rare and well-justified circumstances should anonymous
sources be quoted or depended upon as sole sources.
This article did not mention the release of information based on classified material,
which The Post has a disturbing penchant for using.
While I am sure that The Post believes that it is serving a great public purpose and is acting within constitutional boundaries, often such information is released for self-serving purposes and the paper may be complicit in breaking the law or aiding those who threaten our security.
We may debate for many years whether Edward Snowden is a hero or a traitor and whether he should have stayed in this country or run, but at least he had enough courage to allow his name to be published.
If only some of The Post’s other sources had enough courage to be named and forthcoming.

In two decades teaching media criticism at Towson University, I have found that class discussions regarding anonymous sources are always among the most fascinating.
DeleteIn his comprehensive and fair analysis of the issues, Paul Farhi laid out the substantive journalistic necessity for such sourcing (e.g., for whistleblowers) as well as the potent dangers to journalistic credibility from its proliferative use.
One general way to minimize overuse of anonymous sources is for all journalists to have a presumption against allowing anonymous sources.
Anonymous quotes would be used only when the need for protection of the source, the lack of hidden motives of the source and the importance of the information are established clearly.

ReplyDeleteDespite 20-year-old Eldo Kim’s goal of anonymity, his attempts to mask his identity led authorities right to his front door. Does that mean that Tor failed a user looking to delay his “Politics of American Education” exam? Not in the slightest.
While the Harvard student did indeed use Tor, it was his other sloppy security measures that led to his arrest. The complaint says the university “was able to determine that, in the several hours leading up to the receipt of the e-mail messages … Eldo Kim accessed Tor using Harvard’s wireless network.”
What Kim didn’t realize is that Tor, which masks online activity, doesn’t hide the fact that you are using the software. In analyzing the headers of the emails sent through the Guerrilla Mail account, authorities were able to determine that the anonymous sender was connected to the anonymity network.
Using that conclusion, they then attempted to discern which students had been using Tor on the Harvard wireless network around the time of the threats. Before firing up Tor, Kim had to log on to the school’s wireless system, which requires users to authenticate with a username and password. By going through network logs and looking for users who connected to the publicly-known IP addresses that are part of the Tor network, the university was able to cross-reference users that were using both Tor and its wireless internet around the time the bomb threats were received.
Given how quickly he was found, Kim was likely one of the few—if not the only—individuals on Tor around on Monday morning. According to authorities, he “anonymously” emailed threats including “”bombs placed around campus” at 8:30 a.m. to the Harvard University Police Department, two officials of Harvard University and the president of the Harvard Crimson, the student-run daily newspaper.
Shortly thereafter, Harvard police called in the FBI, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the Secret Service, the Cambridge Police Department, the Boston Police Department and the Cambridge Fire Department. Around 3 p.m., long after Kim’s exam had been canceled, officials concluded that the threats were a hoax and reopened the buildings.
Kim was taken into custody on Monday—identified as one of the few Harvard wireless users who was also on Tor at the time. When interviewed by an FBI agent and an officer with the Harvard University Police Department that night, Kim admitted to sending the bomb threat emails and said that he acted alone. The complaint says Kim was “motivated by a desire to avoid a final exam” scheduled to be held on Monday. Kim is set to appear in U.S. District Court later on Wednesday. If convicted, he could face a maximum of five years in prison, three years of suspended release, and a $250,000 fine.
And to think he could have had gotten away with it had he just used the wireless internet at a local Cambridge coffee shop.

ReplyDeleteThe Duck Dynasty controversy may be starting to scare off the show’s retail quarry.
ReplyDeleteThe Cracker Barrel chain quietly pulled some of its Duck Dynasty-branded products from its restaurants on Friday, then promptly found itself in the cross-hairs of the show’s outraged fans.
One Virginia-based ABC affiliate reported that local Cracker Barrel employees were ordered to remove some Duck Dynasty products and slash prices on others that remained on the shelves by 50 percent. The restaurant chain defended its decision with a statement on its Facebook page:
Cracker Barrel’s mission is Pleasing People.
We operate within the ideals of fairness, mutual respect and equal treatment of all people.
These ideals are the core of our corporate culture.
We continue to offer Duck Commander products in our stores.
We removed selected products which we were concerned might offend some of our guests while we evaluate the situation. We continually evaluate the products we offer and will continue to do so.
Unsurprisingly, some Duck Dynasty people were less than pleased (the top comment on the company’s page:
“Sad. Worried about offending gays? What about offending Christians???????????”).
It’s not entirely clear if the merchandise involved were products from the A&E series or the Robertson family’s own Duck Commander line.
