This could have involved the government. The FCC started an investigation and MSNBC may have caved because of it.
Nice try, teach.

It wasn't the FCC that caused this. GE dropped the hammer on MSNBC, because advertisers were bailing.

The FCC is investigating whether federal regulations were violated - that is their proper role. In this case, Imus was canned because advertisers pulled their support. Nothing more to it than that.

The FCC hadn't even started. How could it have had anything to do with his firing?

Looks like you and I were the only two viewers that liked him.
This is disgusting.
Sharpton will be in front of CBS tomorrow to protest their carrying IMUS on the radio. I feel like a trip to DC to protest their arses.

And MSNBC's content is not regulated by the FCC, at all.
