Update: Don Imus Suspended
Monday, April 09, 2007
Things continue to snowball for talk radio's Don Imus days after he refered to the women of the Rutgers basketball team as "nappy headed hos." CBS Radio and MSNBC have both suspended the longtime host for two weeks because of his comment. The suspension begins next Monday.
Today, Imus appeared on Al Sharpton's radio show to apologize to the black community. But his apology comes too little too late for some, like Sharpton, who want Imus to be fired.
On his show Monday, Imus called himself "a good person" who just made a bad mistake.
"Here's what I've learned: that you can't make fun of everybody, because some people don't deserve it," Imus said. "And because the climate on this program has been what it's been for 30 years doesn't mean that it has to be that way for the next five years or whatever because that has to change, and I understand that."
