I can’t agree more with your post and disagree more with Sean’s anti-boycott stance.
Advertisers need to be held accountable for what the sales of their products support and promote, even if indirectly.
I won’t let the advertisers off the hook by remaining silent about inappropriate programming they support with their ad purchases.
Sean apparently doesn’t understand how unchecked lies, under the guise of free speech, can do intensive damage to our society.
So true. My company's handbook is chalk full of ethics policies and codes of conduct. If an employer doesn't have the right to fire their employees for perceived violations then it's the company that's being held hostage not the employee.
Personally I think Imus is a jerk lib moonbat and I'm glad to see him go for any reason no matter how charitable he is. But Sean is trying to make this out to be about the fairness doctrine and it's not. Imus can start his own company and say what ever he wants over the airwaves, but if he is going to work for someone else he has to abide by their rules. Ones "free speech" is at the will of their employers, not vice versa. If I had an employee that said what Imus said to a customer he'd be canned in a second.
