I think it's for another reason. Most likely UP tv is trying to downplay other negative current events in the lives of 4 other like- minded famous families. Gives time for the public to cool down and UP to position BRinging Up Bates in a more positive light, distancing themselves from all the negative press. Unfortunately, the Bates themselves will have to do the distancing from institutions and I'm not sure that is going to happen.
This is a critical time for the Bates family, their beliefs, and UP tv. I love this family and UP TV and hope they will all do the right thing.
