MSNBC suspends Imus simulcast for two weeks
CBS says ‘will continue to monitor the program's content
After a career of cranky insults, radio star Don Imus was fighting for his job Monday following one joke that by his own admission went "way too far.
NBC News President Steve Capus released this statement late Monday: "Beginning Monday, April 16, MSNBC will suspend simulcasting the syndicated ‘Imus in the Morning’ radio program for two weeks. This comes after careful consideration in the days since his racist, abhorrent comments were made. Don Imus has expressed profound regret and embarrassment and has made a commitment to listen to all of those who have raised legitimate expressions of outrage. In addition, his dedication — in his words — to change the discourse on his program moving forward, has confirmed for us that this action is appropriate. Our future relationship with Imus is contingent on his ability to live up to his word."
I just checked to see if this had been posted yet and have not seen it. If it has I will delete.
