“MSNBC’s action came after a growing list of sponsors—including American Express Co., Staples Inc., Procter & Gamble Co., and General Motors Corp.—said they were pulling ads from Imus’ show for the indefinite future.”

They no longer want their reputations associated with him or his foul mouth.
I hope this is the start of a trend away from trash-talk, profanity, etc.

All the suits are worried about is ratings, not their reputations.
I remember Imus doing a parody of Wilfred Brimley sodomizing a turkey right before Thanksgiving.
Nobody had a problem then!
