“The last few days saw advertisers like GM and American Express fleeing from Imus, but the head of NBC claims that’s not what caused him to stop the simulcasts of Imus’ show. It was the pressure from inside NBC. The pressure from staffers and reporters who were tired of being associated with these boneheaded remarks. Even weatherman Al Roker stepped up to the plate and demanded that Imus go. And it’s certainly worth mentioning that Keith Olbermann called for Imus to be fired. With the growth of Keith’s audience and this increasing importance of his show at MSNBC, that certainly had to weigh heavily with the suits.”
