Way to take the hit big guy. It was really the employees that made the decision and not me. The consumate empty suit move by Capus.

Good Riddance times 2. Now he doesn't have a platform. CBS canned him in the middle of a telethon. YIKES!!!

 

Well, I'll grant you that is at least a debatable point. Much better than the insistence that the decision was entirely about the advertiser pullout.

 

NEW YORK (AP) — CBS fired Don Imus from his radio show Thursday, the finale to a stunning fall for one of the nation’s most prominent broadcasters.
Imus initially was suspended for two weeks for calling the Rutgers women’s basketball team “nappy-headed hos” on the air last week, but outrage continued to grow and advertisers bolted from his programs.
“There has been much discussion of the effect language like this has on our young people, particularly young women of color trying to make their way in this society,” CBS President and Chief Executive Officer Leslie Moonves said in announcing the decision. “That consideration has weighed most heavily on our minds as we made our decision.”

Couldn't happen to a nicer skeleton.

 

So, bootsy, if you say something grossly offensive, will you volunteer to be fired?

Just curious.

 

What will your next crusade be, oh moral arbiter of sj?

 

You know, the Lebanese have been acting pretty high and mighty of late. Maybe boots can smack them down a peg or two.

 

By firing him in the middle of a charity radio-thon, does that mean CBS no longer supports those charities? Will people who support those charities now protest the firing?

 

Since basis was "effect of language on young people" I assume MTV and BET will be pulling the plug on Gansta Rap.

 

Does anyone west of the Delaware River even care?
