You Nappy Headed Hoe's

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.

Well there are exceptions in the public sector like when you're at work. They give you a book (usually...maybe a contract) with expected codes of conduct in it and you're expected to abide by those rules or you get tossed. If I told every customer/client that pissed me off at every job I'd ever had to fuck off, I would have had roughly 3,723,981 jobs. It's just easier to bite your tongue. That being said, there's only one reason you tune into talk radio and that's to hear people's opinions. Whether you agree or disagree, that's all talk radio is. CBS should realize that and realize that if they don't like what he had to say then they shouldn't have hired Imus in the first place. It's kind of unfair to hire a guy for one thing and fire him for that same thing.
