It is EXACTLY the market that is deciding. The Food Network decided that if they didn't get rid of her it could hurt their bottom line. No one but the potential loss of customers was deciding for them.
No, it is a gross manipulation of the market by special interest groups. Liberals wouldn't know a free market if it crawled up their legs and bit them in the crotch.
Sorry man, that is how the market works. The market consists of sellers and buyers. The sellers want the buyers to buy, and when they threaten to stop buying, for whatever reason, the buyer has to listen.
Sorry, man, but saying bad words is not a market function. Neither is blackmail. In a free market, products are judged on their merit, not on the attitudes of the manufacturers.
The political pressure brought to bear on companies impedes the market. It certainly is not endemic to free markets or product quality. In the end, it hurts both buyer and seller.
