Don Imus Gets 2 Week Suspension

[radiotony]

Fairness in Accuracy and Reporting, a liberal media watchdog group, is
calling on people to call both CBS and MSNBC to complain about Imus' show.
They have a pretty good overview of some of the outlandish things which Imus
and his crew have said over the years at this link/

Just a sniggly point here...Imus actually does his radio show from the 
MSNBC studios in New Jersey.   He moved out of the WFAN studios in 
Queens a couple of years back, but they remain the radio flagship.  The 
network built him a special set that works better for TV but is still a 
functioning radio studio.  I saw something online awhile ago that said 
Imus has the number one cable news morning show beating CNN This 
Morning and Fox & Friends.  That may not be saying much in comparison 
to his radio audience, but still....
