Naeemah Clark writes column about 'Duck Dynasty' and the TV business

School of Communications associate professor Naeemah Clark wrote a column for the (Burlington, N.C.)

“A&E was right to suspend Robertson from the program. The network will also be right when it allows the daddy of ‘Duck Dynasty’ back on the show. … Why? Well, to quote that awful Mr. Potter in It’s a Wonderful Life, the ‘building and loan is a business not a charity ward.’ Television is a business.”
