AOL's Jason Whitlock- Time for Jackson, Sharpton to Step Down - AOL Sports
Here's a good read about how this whole thing got blown out of proportion. And check out Jason Whitlock's, the writer of the article, picture at the top if you want to say that he has no frame of reference on this subject.

Whitlock is right on point. If they were appointed they would have been voted out long ago. Unfortunately the media gravitates to Sharpton and Jackson.

Granted, Imus was way out of line, I really didn't think he understood the magnitude of what he was saying. This guy is bad, but I don't necessarily know if he's that bad. Maybe he is, I don't really listen to him so I wouldn't know. I heard someone saying earlier that the guy who owns MSNBC said he made the decision because of the children in the world or something to that effect. This was purely a business decision (advertisers all pulled out), and from what I understand that same guy owns MTV. I also wonder whether or not MSNBC still has to pay him the remainder of the contract. I'm not sure what he's done was a breach of contract, and a good lawyer may be able to make Imus one rich S.O.B.

Re: Don Imus
Well MTV is part of Viacom, which used to operate CBS as well before they split. MSNBC is part of General Electric
