NBC News after fatally shooting IMUS, gives Hui another shot.

Less than a week after NBC News executives like Steve Capus folded like a cheap suit and bowed to the pressure of a racial/political mob that included Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Al Roker, Keith Obermann and shot Don Imus in the head, The news organization is once again in the media spotlight for airing the diatribe and video of Cho Seung Hui the Virginia Tech shooter.

"The unexpected package from Cho Seung Hui that arrived at NBC News yesterday morning contained both a worldwide scoop and a journalistic dilemma."Howard Kurtz, Washington Post

Delemia indeed. After letting Hillary Clinton's political hitmen (Sharpton & Jackson) knock a Clinton critic IMUS off the air. I wonder why Cho Seung Hui would chose to send to NBC News his tapes, photos and writings? Was it because he thought so highly of NBC News or was because NBC was in the news the week before because of the disgraceful handling of the IMUS firing. There are some unanswered questions about this:

Of course, no one forced NBC to broadcast those words and pictures. Capus said network journalists debated for hours what they should make public. "There are some things we haven't shown and words we haven't released that are more appropriate to hold back," he said

Like maybe why Hui choose NBC over other the other mainstream media outlets to deliver his finally shot. Until the public gets to see the entire video and all the documents. NBC will be under a cloud of suspicion over what they released and showed on their network and MSNBC. It could be like the Imus firing NBC is not telling us the whole story.

Al Roker: Lying, delusional or hypocrite.

Al Roker the Today Show Weatherman whose talk with NBC News Executive Steve Capus was a major reason for the firing of Don Imus from MSNBC. Made some remarks in the official NBC blog for the Today Show like:

"And by the way, for all those people who posit that the phrase is rooted in the black community, it is not. My childhood neighborhood of St. Albans, Queens, is a middle-class neighborhood. People keep their homes neat and their lawns mowed. I never heard the word "ho" in my neighborhood or in my parents' home."- Al Roker

I too never heard the word "ho" in my neighborhood or in my home when I was growing up either . But, I did and do hear it on black rap and hip hop music coming on BET, MTV and urban radio stations all over the place. Al Roker is saying he never heard the word. He is either lying or really does not pay attention to what is going on in black communities all over the country. So IMUS gets fired because he said something that yes was insensitive but it also showed he was more in tune with black culture than Al Roker.

"But just as he wants to be judged on what he does, he must also be judged on what he says and what he has said, both on and off the air."

But Roker himself is not above using race for a laugh on the Today Show. For example when he was doing a cooking segment that used artichokes. The cook mentioned that when you take off the artichoke leaves, you rub the bottoms with lemon so they don't turn black.

"You might even want to rub lemon on your hands so the black doesn't get on them either," he said.
"Well, it's a little too late for me, but..." Roker shot back"

Oh, I get it Al! You are black. Should I laugh? Or should you be fired too!

CBS executives join the weasals at MSNBC

"CBS Radio today announced it had fired talk show host Don Imus, a day after MSNBC dropped his morning program in the aftermath of racially and sexually insensitive comments he made about the Rutgers University women's basketball team."-Washington Po

Well the corporate weasels at CBS cut Don Imus at the knees and knuckled under like the NBC executive nitwits to those paragons of virtue Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson along with other hypocrites of the black activist community including people like Today Show weatherman Al Roker along with liberal media groups. It's a pretty sad day for America when such hypocrites and corporate weasel executives decide what and where the rest of us can hear. I think Imus will once again be able to be heard somewhere either on satellite radio or maybe Internet. But, I think CBS and NBC will begin their decline in viewers as people find out what was really behind the effort to get Imus off the air and it was not his insensitive remarks about the Rutgers woman's basketball team. It's pretty clear the current crop of executives in the mainstream corporate media have no balls and no clue either.

NBC & MSNBC hate children with cancer.

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.
