i see what your saying, but this is not the first time something like this has happened. if anything CBS looked at previous cases and figured this was due process with imus. you godda remember though you really dont have freedom of speech at work, its more of a myth, that people think that the first amendment lets you get away with whatever comes out of your mouth. i agree they probobly went too far, you can see earlier in this thread i even thought he wouldnt get fired, but he didnt really express an unpopular opinion as much as make a sexist/racist remark which his parent company(s) didnt support. he did offend viewers(apparently?) and there were sponsors talking about dropping the show. you godda remember they didnt fire him on day one, or even week one. it was only after CBS's wallet and image was going to take a hit that they finally fired him.
