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.

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.
