No it is not enough. An assumption is never enough when a definitive is asked for.
You were specifically asked to provided said information to back up your claim and you repeatably fail.

Reported. Not assumed.

We're also told that the contracts have morality clauses that give the network the right to get rid of cast members -- but the others still have to keep the show running.

‘Duck Dynasty’ family members contractually bound to A&E, source says | Fox News

How do you suppose A&E is going to enforce the contractual obligations?

Sue the Robertsons? First off, they would deal with the revenue loss and spend a ton of money in court. Second, it would be a PR disaster, what with a buncha millionare, fancy pants, suit-n-tie TV honchos from Hollywood pickin' on America's favorite family. A&E sueing the Robertsons because they simply want to express their religious views? That's going to go over like a turd in a punch bowl.

Let's say the Robertsons give in and do the show and sabotage the crap out of it on set; give negative interviews off set.

The only option they have is to bury the hatvhet with Phil and hope it all goes away.

No. We have two news reports. You don't like unnamed sources. But they are used. I'm assuming nothing. The reports are what they are.

Although they almost never substantiate their assertions, they always insist that the citations we provide to call them on their BS are either biased or not detailed enough. They always have some excuse why the source is not convincing. Ironic, since Grant, Excon and Grant rarely provide citations for the things they claim.

Duck Dynasty is just a tv show.

Before they played rednecks on tv they were wanks in real life.Duck-Dynasty-Men-Without-Beards-02.jpg

Watch how easy this is with Boo's own words in a post on this very page....

"It is a poor source. Over the years it's been shown to factually inaccurate a few times. Inaccuracy is a valid reason to dismiss it."

The link for your lie, and your actual lie, is in the quote box.

It is up to you to support your assertion, not for me to disprove it.
 
Re: 'Duck Dynasty' star Phil Robertson suspended by A&E

Funny, how Sarah Palin has been supporting good old Phil Robertson so vigorously, even though she has not read the article and does not know exactly Robertson said what he said.

Now, she will still support him regardless of how he has said it, but isn't it smart to read what someone exactly said before you support someone?

Yeah, that reminds me. You would think the Dems would have read what was in Obamacare before they voted on it. What you said is good advice.

Classic example of a red herring fallacy.

The topic is Phil Robertson and how his derogatory statements led to his suspension. Sarah Palin should have read the article prior to pledging support.

Her argument is valid as discussion, but she should read the article...I doubt her opinion would change if she did, do you think it would?

That is what I said, she would have supported him regardless, but it is incredibly dumb to state that you didn't read what you are publicly defending.

Again, his anti-gay comments might have been a bit insensitive but his remarks about blacks were the really outrageous comments in that article.

The point is that the show is faked. Or do you still believe that reality shows are real along with pro wrestling?

Not at all, but I am not a fan of "reality tv"..... Like I said before, I prefer crime drama's, or sitcom's....But, you think that people don't know that DD is scripted? Come on man....Do you think that people think that shows like Justified are real too?

Why? Is it that hard to believe that the black people he knew at the time were happy? I think you are searching for something to get outraged about here.
