I'm not sure he actually praised the BT directly (in fact he mentioned that
there are people who have a problem with it), but offered support for BPS's
*creativity*. He said that TLC trusts its brand to its fans, "even BPS"--
that's not to say that they may think that that trust has been violated.
Even so, I think what may be happening here is that when you lie down with
dogs, you wake up with fleas. Though BPS may be successfully treading a thin
line, there are certainly those out there who are taking his work and have
stepped way over it.
I agree that it is a difficult situation, but I think that if BT is being used
to promote such unhealthy values as expressed in the article, TLC has the right
to step in and protect its brand where it sees fit.
