Sacred cow

From A&E:

We are extremely disappointed to have read Phil Robertson's comments in GQ, which are based on his own personal beliefs and are not reflected in the series Duck Dynasty.

A&E is disingenuous. It's not like they didn't know the Duck Dynasty family members were conservative Christians prior to this incident. It's not as if they didn't know conservative Christianity would be an obvious aspect of the TV show. However, A&E was perfectly content to profit off of the Robertsons this whole time. At least until Phil Robertson ran afoul of one of the liberal media's sacred cows.
