Public opinion.
We've all heard about Bill Cosby and how he's being dropped from guest appearances,and shows left and right. Then theres' a petition to get the Duggars( 19 kids and counting) off the air,bc in a separate interview they shared that they were pro choice,and believed marriage should be between one man,and one woman. However they never expressed these views on their show. I have no doubt that if enough people yell loud enough, the show would be pulled.
Where do we draw the line. Do we take away people's livelihood based on allegations and public opinion, or do we wait for a conviction?
Do we take a non dysfunctional family off the air bc someone asks their opinion and they tell them their beliefs(off air)?Like it or not, people still hold those views. What happened to "live and let live" (they aren't stopping ppl from marrying or getting abortions) or "you're entitled to your opinion"?
Do you think the weight of public opinion carries more weight than it should?
