DISNEY & HEARST

MEDIA WATCH
Unless we defend the religious liberty of everyone, it will not long exist for anyone.
MEDIA WATCH
On the road that leads to peace among the people of this world, Leah Remini is the swerving drunk driver, A&E is the car, Disney handed her the keys and the booze, and you are the traffic cop standing and quietly watching.
MEDIA WATCH
What could be the motivation if not purely for profit? What’s the journalistic or societal benefit from this show that uses slanderous attacks based mainly on falsehoods and for the material gain of the network and a select cast of characters?
MEDIA WATCH
This show has created an environment of hostility and prejudice that I never thought I would have to experience. You can imagine my outrage when I saw that A&E had picked the show up for a second season.
MEDIA WATCH
[My daughter] has been dealing with teachers spreading hate to the class about our religion, student insults about Scientologists and bigoted statements from two coaches that are date coincident with the airing of this show.
MEDIA WATCH
When you sit in a room, as I have, and quietly listen to your 90-year-old mother talk about the KKK riding through a North Carolina town with torches, causing the kind of fear she as a young child had never before seen in the eyes of grownups around her; or heard your husband’s uncle describe himself as a 17-year-old boy in Auschwitz standing before and escaping from “Doctor of Death” Josef Mengele, you know that these activities started with widespread religious discrimination.
MEDIA WATCH
Surely the executives and stockholders of A&E must condemn violence against a single religion. Assuming I am correct, how is it possible to renew the Remini show without acknowledging the harm it perpetrates?
MEDIA WATCH
Please step up and take some responsibility for righting this religious persecution.
