I was looking for this comment. I was gonna say, I definitely remember him retiring a couple years ago now.

the pen lady and the f-bomb on first day of work guy didn't deserved getting fired 😟

It's a good thing to see what it feels like to be down.... it's called being humbled and gives most people a new outlook on life and how they handle it.

That's what NBC gets for picking Megyn Kelly over Tamron Hall.

I could be wrong but probably the reason IMUS was not on this infamous list is this. He was primarily a Radio Talk Show Host that later in his career had his shows broadcast on National Cable TV i.e 1st C-Span and later MSNBC and Fox Business.

Any job on the air is really tough because you get fired for the littlest thing. If everyone was recorded at their jobs and posted on the air, people would be losing their jobs all the time. Most of the people I work with say inappropriate things all the time and I guess they have had their jobs for so long and are so spoiled it doesn't phase them or they aren't even aware of it.

When he was pulled from the broadcast, he offered an apology...and paused in the middle of it to call a home run. He was fired by the Reds and Fox Sports almost immediately.

I'm not at all a Lara Logan fan, however, I feel it remiss not to mention she went through a horrifyingly traumatic experience reporting on the Arab Spring, and I think her inability to work through that trauma in therapy (sometimes therapy just fails--some baggage carries heavier than others) ruined her unbiased perspective, and led her into the far-right. I hope, some day, she heals.

He wasn't lying. During Chattel Enslavement, they would purposely sxually assault and impregnate Blck Americans to get better physical traits. It's nothing new either and has been done historically, especially in various other types of Enslavement to get certain looks/features. It is why Blck Americans are genetically predisposed to be bigger, stronger, etc. Now, his and others' jealous racism over it definitely stems from the freedom of those formerly enslaved and the end of Reconstruction, thus entering the Blck Codes and Jim Crow. It is why Blck people are hypersexualized and fetishized. You'll not find anybody more obsessed over BBC than a yt male followed pretty evenly with yt women.
