Duck Dynasty’s Phil Robertson has just started his new TV show on CRTV, and already Facebook is censoring it.
According to CRTV’s sister publication, Conservative Review, the social media giant removed from Robertson’s page a video from a new show in which he shows how to make duck gumbo from scratch, including preparing the duck.
Facebook said his new In the Woods With Phil show video was too graphic. It was from his show titled, “You can call me Mr. Organic” and can be seen here.
Under the censored notice, Robertson wrote, “Graphic violence? Where do these people think their food comes from?! Are you sick of being told God’s name and your way of life need warning labels?”
Here’s what CR wrote:
In the video, he prepares a duck he hunted to make some duck gumbo for lunch. He plucks it, singes it in the fire, and, of course, removes its head before cooking it. Quelle horreur!
As he’s working, Robertson talks about how some liberals believe it “takes a coward to go out and kill a bird” with a gun. “No,” Robertson says, “It takes someone who is hungry, and he wants organic food out in the wild.”
The video is Phil, his feathered duck, his pot, and a few words about living off the land and woods. Facebook censored Phil’s post for “graphic violence or gore.” Anyone who is not logged into Facebook will not be able to see the video on Robertson’s Facebook page. The post isn’t there at all – censorship in the truest sense of the word.
This is exactly the kind of extreme political correctness Robertson calls “pontificated crap.”
