According to a news report tonight, CBS and MSNBC received a series of phone calls from Sharpton and Jackson demanding that Imus be fired and threatening a black boycott. So, I guess, we will now turn to these two paradigms of racial equality to determine who says what where on the airwaves. Imus was not in violation of FCC regulations and Sharpton has made it clear that this is just the beginning.
I am contemplating a boycott of all products advertised on CBS and MSNBC to let them know that I expect them to monitor ALL their programs for racist remarks or sexual innuendo. Imus was screwed. I neither approve of nor agree with his comments BUT they were mild compared to some of the other crap that is allowed to continue. Hymietown and Tawana Brawley - someone else owes an apology.
