It's almost 24 hours since NBC News and MSNBC caved it to the bullying tactics of Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson and fired Don Imus from his MSNBC broadcast. It seems 30 employees of NBC Universal including Today Show Weatherman Al Roker and MSNBC Countdown host Keith Obermann were involved in arm twisting of weasel executives like Steve Capus to fire Imus. Thirty out of thousands of employees decided Imus's fate it seems . I'm sure that other employees would have liked to know there was a referendum on the Imus show being conducted.
But, even more egregious than the fact that NBC executives have no backbone to stand up to guys like Sharpton and Jackson is that they pulled Imus off the air at MSNBC just as he was about to raise money for the Imus Ranch for Kids with Cancer and other worth while charities. pretty lame and heartless for these empty suit executives and MSNBC talent like Al Roker and Keith Obermann who helped push Imus over the cliff. They could not wait until after Imus had finished his charity fundraiser. At least they let Imus use the studio but, not the MSNBC channel to maybe raise a few more dollars for children with cancer and other disease. It's a pretty heartless group they have over their at NBC.
