A&E BIGOTRY

MEDIA WATCH
You recently decided that your article about Airbnb would be best received if it included animosity toward my religion of choice (as if readers were seeking some bigotry mixed in with the information you’re supposed to be providing about a vacation rental website).
MEDIA WATCH
Her show has inspired desecration of our facilities, numerous threats of physical violence, and yes, harassment of our children in public schools. Of course it won’t be you who is bloodied if any of these threats come to fruition. It will be me, or my friends, or my fellows or, God help us, our children.
MEDIA WATCH
Leah Remini’s show on A&E has resulted in threats of violence against Scientologists around the world, including the actual murder of one young staff member. These people are my friends and family members. They are doctors, dentists, artists, carpenters, business owners and school kids.
MEDIA WATCH
This is the first time in our history we have not heard from Disney’s leader at a time like this. Enough is enough. We are family.
MEDIA WATCH
As community partners, many of our discussions and action items revolved around preventing violent extremism. In most cases, if not all, media played a big role in dehumanizing the other.
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
We live at a time when it is fashionable to attack the religious freedom of others. A&E and Remini are now at the forefront of religious discrimination, bigotry and hatred.
MEDIA WATCH
By condoning the airing of this series, Disney makes itself a party to the violence resulting. I understand that the Church of Scientology has had hundreds of threats of death, violence or vandalism incited by the show.
MEDIA WATCH
Georgia-Pacific has updated their media buying guidelines to exclude programs that feature content of this nature. I would suggest that you adopt a similar policy. The year is 2018, not 1818, and people are not as uninformed as it may appear.
