espn is an inclusive company. curt schilling had beens a advised his conducts is unacceptable and his employment has been terminated. now to emily, and mike, carly. was it fair? this guy routinely makes controversial statements. these latest sealed the deal for his ouster. >> we certainly do live in a world that is way too politically correct. but even if we didn't, curt schilling should have been fired for this comment help went right over the line. his comment was crude and quite frankly, not his place. he was hired at espn to talk sports, not weigh in on political ore social issues. >> guns? >> i think we have literally seen the -- we're supposed to be so tolerant but then at the same time now you can't say anything. the same people telling us to be tolerant are interesting intolerant. he should not have been fired. he is up there to give his opinion hitch just tweeted something out -- >> about baseball. >> these groups -- they also hired him because of the personality. these comes come after you, you can't say

everyone uses espn as an example. espn was a six dollar a month for customer channel. if you made it available ala c arte and half of the people took it, it would be $12 a month. if a quarter of the people took it it would be twice for dollars. $24. then you look at advertising revenue. fewer potential eyeballs means higher rates. more expensive. peter: what is the aca position on bundles? met: -- matt: we believe choice is important. consumers are using their iphones, cell phones, tablets. they are enjoying choice. they're coming to us saying, can you give us more choice on cable television? i think choice, the desire of consumers to watch more choice is really going to move towards greater choice. maybe even ala carte because consumers will demand it. they like to watch the programs, they like to watch when they want to watch on the device they want to watch. they will force us to think about how we can make a difference. that is what the sec has noticed -- fcc has noticed. for the first time they're asking questions about how are these programs bundled? what are the

deirdre: curt schilling is firing back at espn. he was fired last week after he posted an image on his facebook page, a slam at transgender bathroom conversation. espn says schilling's post violated a policy that prohibits discussion of politics. conservative review chief correspondent dannene is with me now. good to see you. >> great to see you. deirdre: what do you see in this, that is to say schilling's post on his facebook page, yet knowing he is a public figure and espn's response and his response? >> well, companies have all kinds of policies for political correctness speak, but in this regard, curt schilling should have been able to freely speak his mind, but unfortunately he got fired for doing so, but when you look at how progressives are able to freely say whatever they want and they are not penalized. when you have a conservative try to speak their mind, they are penalized. that is what happened in this regard. deirdre: yeah, many people who certainly agree with that and who have written to curt schilling to support him.

espn has a lot of political commentators. keith you will better man was there -- keith olberman was there for a longtime. it is true. you will talk about politics on the air and it has to be left wing and everybody knows that. >> isn't that true that it is media? if you are in media across the board, producers, directors, you are going to run into a lot of left of center people. >> you will, and in the comments to breitbart they said, hire me. >> you thought he was -- you thought it was -- >> why not? jay he would be good here. don't you think we should ask him to be on the panel? curt schilling, come and do panel to "red eye." >> when i said he would be good here, iment he would be good there. >> this is a little early. >> like i said, curt schilling, go be hired by breitbart. >> i don't see rg iii dropping back and looking at his receivers and going he is for small government and physician kl responsibility. i am not throwing to him. schilling should go back to what he does best, video games. remember he bankrupted himself?

espn now is a $6-a-month per-customer channel. if you made it available a la carte and have the people took it, it would be $12 a month. if a quarter of the people took it, it would be $24 a month. that's just the way it's going to work. and then you throw in the problem of advertising revenue which is a big source of their revenue, you know? fewer homes, fewer potential eyeballs means higher rates, and, again, more expensive. >> host: what's the aca's position on bundling? >> guest: we believe that it's important for consumers. consumers want choice. we see to it today with our broadband plan. consumers are using their iphones, their cell phones, their ipads, their tablets, their laptops. they're enjoying choice, and they're coming to us saying can you give us more choice on cable television. i think choice, the desire of consumers to want more choice is really going to move towards greater choice maybe even a la carte, because consumers are going to demand it. simply because they're used to it now, they like to watch the program
