I suspect that his firing had nothing really to do with Sharpton or public outrage. In most cases the networks love the publicity. There is no such thing as BAD publicity and publicity equals higher ratings (hence The View)
The problem is the advertisers were deserting the show. The news today was that major corporations were taking away their sponsorship money. Lower revenue = bye bye Imus.

Were you listening the day he made these comments? If so, what was the context, why was he calling these young women "ho's?"
I am not a fan, but the double standard is appalling.

First they came for the Jews
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for the Communists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Communist.
Then they came for the trade unionists,br> and I did not speak out
because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for me
and there was no one left
to speak out for me.
