ABC Family Channel Condemns Robertson But Has To Keep Him


The ABC Family Channel, which was once owned by televangelist Pat Robertson, has condemned remarks by Robertson on Monday in which he called on the U.S. to assassinate Venezuela President Hugo Chavez. Robertson's remarks prompted demands from several organizations that his program, The 700 Club, be canceled by the channel. However, under terms of Robertson's sale of the channel, the program can never be removed without Robertson's agreement. In a statement on Tuesday, the channel said that it "strongly rejects" Robertson's remarks and directed all callers to the televangelist's Christian Broadcasting Network.

What a total mind fuck for these people watching ABC family. Here's a channel geared towards youngs kids but 3 times a day their programming is interupted by this asshole.


If I owned Disney I would dump ABC Family channel and start their own brand new channel geared towards young folks. I would assume they own the other programs they've put on that channel. They can just move them elsewhere
