Advertisers abandoning MSNBC over Imus
I wondered how long this was going to take.
A fairly lengthy piece (by network TV standards) on the NBC morning show examined the controversy and gave extensive play to the response from the Rutgers team, university and coach. Procter & Gamble is pulling their ads from the entire MSNBC daily line-up; Staples and Bigelow Tea are pulling advertising from the Imus show. I’ll be surprised if more companies don’t follow.
So a couple thoughts:
- MSNBC won’t do the right thing for the right reasons. I guess now we’ll see if they’ll do the right thing for the wrong reasons.
- And by the fucking way, I always love it when a media outlet points to a problem as though they had nothing to do with it. Hey, NBC morning crew, what network owns and operates MSNBC?
Stay tuned…

I heard this morning that he’s been canned, but the reason given is something like “the integrity of the news division is more important than advertisers dollars”. As Steve said yesterday Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.
