CBS President and Chief Executive Officer Leslie Moonves”There has been much discussion of the effect language like this has on our young people, particularly young women of color trying to make their way in this society.”
That’s what CBS said in their statement [1] firing Imus for his “joke” about adult women at Rutgers University.
Here’s CBS’ response [2] to David Letterman’s joke about a baseball player committing statutory rape with Sarah Palin’s 14-year old daughter:
“David Letterman and CBS finalized a contract that will keep the late-night comic on the “Late Show” through at least the spring of 2012.”
Someone explain to me how that makes sense.
