(54,074 posts)for Oz to be right about GMO labeling (because why not label regardless) but also be peddling quack diet cures? Here's the deal with his diet stuff. There is a new miracle way to loose weight all the time that he promotes. Only none of them really work anymore than doing what we all know we're supposed to do to lose weight.
Why is it that a person has to 100 percent right, above reproach, or all bad? People can be right on some things and wrong on others. It doesn't seem like that possibility occurs to you. Seems like it you like someone, Oz, Assange, whoever, you refuse under any circumstances to consider any criticism of them. Why is that?
I personally feel that's a very problematic view of looking at things. Isn't the more important issue GMO labeling and not sanctifying Dr. Oz? Don't you think he and NBC (or whatever network he is on), can take care of themselves?
BTW, the legal provision guiding Columbia's actions is not the First Amendment but Oz's tenure contract. If Oz were fired, his recourse would be a civil suit for breach of contract. Columbia is not the US government. While tenure protects free speech, it isn't bound by the First Amendment.
