MSNBC: Imus Fired! (Vanity)

Tucker on MSNBC | 4/11/07 | NickatNite2003

[NickatNite2003]

Tucker just read a news flash, announcing that they will no longer simulcast Imus at all, anymore.

Sharpton calling out Imus is like the pot calling the kettle black.......mm, make that white. Ah....never mind.

[Mo1]

He then went on to show pictures of Rush, Glenn Beck, BOR and others..and said to Jesse that he needs to go after ALL of the talk show hosts that had used racist and demeaning comments

Is that what the firing of Imus was really about??

[fatima]

Alloting or allocating?

Well, when you allow yourself to be pushed around and held up by race hustlers, this outcome should be of no surprise to anyone.

I’ve already written that Imus should have merely said “I’m am a**hole. I do rough comedy, I made a stupid racial remark and I am profoundly sorry and I apologize.”

But, he went for their “hang your head in shame and grovel to us and apologize” route and that showed weakness and they always go for the throat once weakness is detected.

Yeah, the most racist/commie/Marxist idiotic show on TV is The Sports Reporters on ESPN on Sunday morning. While I haven’t seen it in awhile (because it’s not entertaining at all), it’s just the most stupid group of people on TV.

[SeaBiscuit]

You said it, this has become absurd.

[onyx]

LOL

[tioga]

Condi Rice has done more for blacks, just by being true to herself. Imagine the lack of uproar if imus called her a nappy headed ho.

[Peach]

LOL. We’ve all gotten the hook at one time or another. Actually, my tagline is in honor of a specific freeper who is freepmailing friends recommending that I get banned because I support a Republican they don’t like. Some people really need to get a life :-)

There has to be grounds to initiate a legal action. MSNBC could just buy out the rest of his contract and send him on his way.

[taildragger]

"This whole incident will spell the end of MSNBC, and if CBS radio dumps Imus, that'll be a big hit to their bottom line as well."

BSF,

Considering MSLSD has been running like all the dinosaur media in the red, getting rid of Imus's high dollar contract is a Manna from Heaven. Any stupid move you make when the bottom line is out of whack leaves you susceptible to firing, he stepped in it.

Again I say, replace Imus with a Bill Bennett simulcast, heck he has a bigger radio audience anyway!

In Je$$e's myopic worldview, everything revolves around going after successful, white, businessmen. It's how Je$$e earned the name "Shakedown Artist".

[Brad’s Gramma]

Bill Cosby is the greatest black American ever lived.

Yep. He & Ted Hayes.

[BigSkyFreeper]

Couldn’t agree more.

[don-o]

Wow. That's a lot more complex than need be.

Just find an image host (I use tinypic.com)

Grab whatever pic you want from wherever (right click and "save as" to a folder where you can find it.) Go to tinypic.com. Mash on browse to find the pic you want to post. Click it then mash "upload.

It creates the code to paste into the FR reply window.

[Txsleuth]

Yes...to hear Jesse and Al talk they have just begun to get rid of the “racist” talk show hosts....AND make sure the networks do a LOT more hiring of black people in TOP positions.

Yeppers...Nancy Pelosi and Hillary are going to make America socialist...and Al and Jesse are gonna do all of the hiring and firing in the MSM.

I wonder if they will go after the internet also??

[hinckley buzzard]

It's interesting to see a Bonfire of the Vanities burn a liberal for a change

Just remember, in Vanities the good guy got away. He just had to compromise his integrity in order to achieve justice.

[Mo1]

If that is what Jesse and Al are after .. it just might back fire one them this time

Not all libs are on board with the firing of Imus
