CBS Radio minus Imus

He wasn't on the air in Chicago, and I was only familiar with him on from the few MSNBC simulcasts I watched when he had an interesting guest--usually a political one--so it's no big loss personal loss for me--but radio talk show host Don Imus was fired today because of his racially insensitive comments about the Rutgers women's basketball team.

However, in my opinion, if CBS really wanted to punish Imus, they would've kept him on the air and see his ratings slip away.

Now he'll come back--maybe he'll be successful--in about three months with a new radio deal.

Still, the guy made one mistake. I don't think CBS should've fired.
