NBC News & MSNBC: Folded like a cheap suit

Steve Capus President of NBC News folded like a cheap suit and fired Don Imus from MSNBC under pressure from a mob led by racial ambulance chasers Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton. Watching him on Scarborough Country last night Capus used the exact talking points Jesse Jackson used. It's pretty much what you would expect from the lily liveried liberals who seem to be running NBC News these days. Make no mistake what IMUS said about the Rutgers Woman's basketball team was wrong and insensitive. But, after his numerous apologies on the air, a two week suspension NBC still pulled the rug from under him without warning. They did not even wait until Imus apologized personally to the Rutgers woman. NBC and MSNBC caved in big time.
Tomorrow Jesse Jackson and other black activist will meet with Capus and others at NBC News. I bet they will completely Mau Mau a wimpy white news executive like Capus and give Jesse Jackson or Sharpton a TV show on MSNBC. If that happens people better start selling their GE stock because there goes the audience. Knowing guys like Jackson and Sharpton they won't be happy until NBC stands for Nothing But Coloreds. NBC News has lost all credibility in firing Imus for his insensitive remarks despite his apologies. Meanwhile rap and hip hop stations continue to play lyrics and messages much more damaging to their young audiences. But, of course Sharpton and Jackson are blind to that fact.

Here is the quote of the day:
"I find it amazing that Reverend Al Sharpton has become the ethical officer for America," - Mitchell Moss of New York University.
