I never thought I’d see the day I’d be into cooking shows. But when I began dating my now-wife in late 2019, I learned she is a huge Food Network fan. Lately, shows like Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, Guy’s Grocery Games, and Kids Baking Championship have become part of our diet.
So you’d think that when Food Network parent Discovery Inc. rolled out its new streaming service, Discovery+, we’d be jumping at it. But there’s one big problem. Discovery bears a large measure of responsibility for America’s most infamous babymakers, the Duggar family, perpetrating a massive swindle on this country for almost two decades. And even though Josh’s arrest on child porn charges should have ended any defensible reason to continue dealing with the Duggars, it doesn’t look like Discovery is cutting ties with them any time soon.
