Mike Miller: I have to disagree.   The Blacklist is a whole different can of worms than firing an offensive person because of public demand by the offended people and their supporters.
               As I said earlier, he probably will get canned for the wrong reasons.   If the networks thought there was money in keeping him they would have. Seems like they just realized a cash cow got gored (by his own doing) and now will have to look for another one. Imus was not censored. No government insinuated itself into this situation---though one has to wonder why F***K and other such words get one fined and banned but words that Imus used are not an issue with the FCC.
               My solution to all this---let the FCC stop banning certain words---that is selective. Let the market decide who stays on and in Imus' case, while, as said, the firing is for the wrong reasons they are the correct reasons for the networks and also satisfy the protesters. Happy ending. Except for Imus who can surely survive on the nest egg he has laid away---and his ego--well, that is another matter.
               Strange how we are concerned about the firing of a man who makes 10 million per year and really don't care a lot about the marginally employed and their problems---from job outsourcing to medical coverage.   Now that is obscene.
