Imus suspended by corporate parents
Don Imus is being suspended for two weeks for his vile, racist comments.
While CBS made its announcement without comment, MSNBC said Imus' regret at making the inappropriate comment and his stated dedication to changing the show's discourse made it believe this was the appropriate response.It's a good thing he didn't bare his breast during the Super Bowl, he could have gotten into real trouble.
Federal regulators will stick by their decision to slap CBS with a $550,000 fine for the Janet Jackson flash at the 2004 Super Bowl.I guess decency is in the eye of the beholder.
They also plan new sanctions against Fox, NBC and CBS TV stations or affiliates for violating decency standards, according to people familiar with the matter.
