Which is why it's unlikely that he was fired on the basis of a morals clause. Decisions like these are usually made by one person, whoever is in charge.

The Majority of Americans don't even know who either one of them are.

You are gonna sign a contract with a morals clause if you are in television entertainment, any kind of performing, advertising (Lance Armstrong lost his endorsement deals because of a morals clause). No way around that. If a performer's reputation is tarnished and becomes toxic or they become...

I have a juicer but don't use it much, for the reasons listed in the article - most of the vitamins and fiber is lost. I usually make smoothies out of whole foods (seeds and pits not included).

Skyjacker (truck suspensions) isn't going away, either. They're a Christian-based company, anyway, so there would be no reason for them to abandon the show. One of the more interesting things about all this is the call for the boycott that has come about. And it's not a call to boycott the...

Well, that's a joke. He doesn't really mean that John Leibowitz sounds too Hollywood. It's a reference to Lenny Bruce, who said he changed his name to Lenny Bruce from Leonard [Alfred] Schneider because Leonard Schneider sounded too Hollywood, which was the joke because Leonard Schneider sounded...

Soooo, you can't quote the rules about posting that I have violated, nor quote me where I attacked you. Got it.

I've seen them, too. Here's one: 94% against A&E Was A&E Right to Suspend Duck Dynasty?s Phil Robertson? [POLL] Here's another one: 92% in favor of Phil Phil Robertson Suspended for Remarks - Tell Us What You Think [POLL] I agree with the polls. I think A&E pulled the trigger far too quickly...

OK, quote the rules about posting that I have violated, and quote me where I attacked you. None of my comments above are regarding anything you've said in another thread, although they certain could apply to them. My comment of, "you don't know the difference between prejudice, bias, and you...

I don't know why you are fixated with an entertainer using a stage name. Many, if not most of them do. Charlton Heston's real name was John Charles Carter. You think Lada Gaga is her real name? What about Snoop Dog? In any case, John Stewart's name is hardly phony and made up. His real name is...

The SOP for Bible thumpers is close-mindedness: they believe what they believe, end of discussion, you can't change their mind, because they're right, the Bible tells them so, and they aren't receptive to new or contradicting ideas and positions. They have no need for free thinking, because the...

I understand the concept just fine. You criticize John Stewart for not having integrity in creating comedic satire, you don't know what satire is, and you don't know the difference between prejudice, bias, and you have a problem with logical conclusion.

He just likes his satire fair and balanced. Oh, wait.

Correct. Incorrect. His views are being judged on what he himself says they are.

Wait. You mean your computer didn't blow up? No mushroom cloud?? You mean you <gasp> made_that_up?!?! Oh, maaaaaan.

No, it's prejudice to decide, beforehand, that he WON'T do his own thinking. After he speaks, to then conclude that he isn't doing his own thinking, based on his words and actions, is not prejudice, it's fairness. Prejudice means to PRE JUDGE. If you judge them after the fact, it's not pre...

Is it the concept of satire which you don't understand (the use of irony, sarcasm, ridicule, or the like, in exposing, denouncing, or deriding vice, folly, etc), or is it that you think satire, comedy and humor, all creative processes that must necessarily be made up, shouldn't be made up...

The Liberal Media See? We DO give the Liberal viewpoint, so there!

That's the hallmark of a liberal, where they are all about freedom of speech, expression and thought, right up to the point where yours disagrees with theirs.

So, if you have an unfavorable opinion of someone, it's prejudice. Even when it's not? Okayeee. If the thought is based on anything specific, including his religion, then it's not free thought, it's restricted thought, especially if the conclusions only allow acceptable solutions stemming from...
