Imus Fired; Race Pimps Win; We all lose
Well it seems that CBS has castrated themselves in an effort to appease the Race Pimps otherwise known as Al Sharpton and Jessie Jackson. I wonder it CBS will disclose how much the Pimps got paid to shut up. It will probably never be known.
From those without balls: CBS Fires Don Imus Over Racial Slur
(CBS/AP) CBS announced Thursday that it has fired Don Imus from his radio program, following a week of uproar over the radio host’s derogatory comments about the Rutgers women’s basketball team. “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.”It’s a stunning fall for one of the nation’s most prominent broadcasters….
I think it is more likely a stunning fall for CBS and (P)MSNBC.
I am hoping that this is the tipping point for all of this craziness and the pendulum start it’s swing back in the other direction.
