Re: MSNBC Cancels Imus From TV

He gets ZERO latitude in making the announcement after the dollars were already gone.

None.

Disgustingly disingenuous.

Capus might be fb.

 

Re: MSNBC Cancels Imus From TV


Can I ask something?

Is Simon_Cowbell the poster formerly known as

freak
chocolate starfish
freakfish
pube
Colombo

'Cause it didn't seem like those other posters would triple and quadruple post like this.

 

Re: MSNBC Cancels Imus From TV

LOL.

The last two definitely would.

That's how they played catch-up.

 

Re: MSNBC Cancels Imus From TV


Would you quit changing names?! ;D You're confusing the heck out of me.

 

Re: MSNBC Cancels Imus From TV

I just get bored every few months.

Sorry.

 

Re: MSNBC Cancels Imus From TV

Colombo? I thought it was Columbo. Or did the board have both?

 

Re: MSNBC Cancels Imus From TV

Mutiny within NBC? Not surprised. Awhile back, when the 9 a.m. MSNBC anchor was expected to appear in Imus' show to preview the news and banter a bit with those guys, there were several incidents involving Amy Robach and Contessa Brewer that bordered on sexual harassment and led to complaints to management. Imus is lucky his crews' actions didn't get the network sued, and probably built enough animosity that the news crew was anxious to get his petrified tuckus booted out the door when opportunity knocked.

 

Re: MSNBC Cancels Imus From TV

Can you at least make an announcement or something everytime you change? Or at least alert me?

For awhile I thought you were the poster "Simon."

 

Re: MSNBC Cancels Imus From TV

Hey... YOU can call me Simon.

I appreciate that you care enough to want to be alerted.

 

Re: MSNBC Cancels Imus From TV

Please. settle on one name and don't let its head be quite so fat.
The guests are the reason that the "what-about-rap? diversion is just that. The guests are what put Imus in the mainstream of the American power elite. The guests were why he worked for a major mainstream news operation. He deserved to be fired because of what he said.

 

Re: MSNBC Cancels Imus From TV

Check this out and how would you feel?
BOSTON - The NBA has been a learning experience for Allan Ray during his rookie season, with the former Villanova star finding himself enduring the ups and downs of playing at the top level of basketball.
But it also has been a learning experience in life for Ray, a guard for the Boston Celtics, especially in the last week because of the outrage arising from disparaging comments directed by radio-talk-show host Don Imus at the Rutgers women's basketball team.

Ray's sister, Judith Brittany Ray, a freshman forward, is a member of the Scarlet Knights' team, which lost to Tennessee in the NCAA championship game and then had to hear its players ridiculed a few days later by the controversial Imus.

"I talked to her about it and she's pretty upset," Ray said last night before the Celtics played the 76ers. "I just told her that people say things in this world and you've just got to move on.

"When I heard it, I didn't know exactly what happened. If you're going to say something like that - well, you shouldn't say anything like that, period, on the air. It's something you should keep to yourself. Just to have those kinds of thoughts, it just shows the type of person you are.

"I wouldn't accept his apology," Ray said. "If you accept the apology, then it's going to be settled and what he said is not going to be an issue anymore. People will say, 'It's over now.' I think there should be more punishment for saying something like that."
