That's true. But it has become more about money than moral outrage at what he originally said. Several major sponsors of his show (GM, P & G, big advertisers like that) have announced they are dropping out, which I am sure is what led msnbc.com to drop Imus. I will be surprised if the radio station does not follow suit. The color that really got him in trouble was not black or white, but green.
