Redstone: CBS Chief Moonves Will "Do the Right Thing" On Imus
Newsweek Johnnie L. Roberts April 12, 2007 10:29 AMMedia mogul Sumner Redstone says he's looking to his chief lieutenant, CBS Corp. chief executive Leslie Moonves, to "do the right thing" when it comes to deciding whether to fire Don Imus, the CBS Radio star shock jock now being whipsawed in a storm of racial controversy.
"He'll make the ultimate decision. But I'm confident he will deal with it in an appropriate manner," Redstone, the chairman of CBS parent company Viacom Inc., said in a phone interview with NEWSWEEK from his Beverly Hills home . His comments come as MSNBC announced it is dropping its daily simulcast of the "Imus in the Morning" radio show, amid furor over Imus' racial slur against the Rutgers women basketball team and the news that major advertisers are withdrawing support for the show.

Mr. Colmes. I am a registered Independant who always votes for Democrats.I am writing to you requesting that you read my petition that is posted on"petitionspot com under CBSHIPOCRISY. Could you please review this petition and hopefully sign it.I would appreciate your feedback about this petition. I am actually pushing for freedom of speech as well as the Hipocrisy that has been so obvious.
At this time I would really like to commend you on your handling of that biggot black panther! You had us all laughing when you guys shut him down and put him in his place.You had him admit that he was a student of Al Sharpton.
I talked to Al Sharpton on the radio the day he had Imus on, the african american girl called him and the president of the nat.assoc. of black journalist Hipocrits. I followed up with the same. He got smoked on his own show it was funny.It is obvious that Al Sharpton is an opportunistical racist.
One more thing; please recommend that Hillary return that 800,000 or give it to fund my petition of CBS radio. I was leaning towards Obama but I now feel that he is an oportunist.He is a motivational speaker but I see through him. And I will not lie with a middle name of Hussein and the fact that he went to school in India I am skeptical of him as being a plant. And the fact that he says he would of voted against the war when he wasn't in position to vote is suspect.
I didn't think anyone voted for the war. I thought they voted to give the president the right to bring our nation into war without a vote from Congress if our country was faced with an Immanent danger??????
I have to say I am dissapointed in Hillary for not running with John Kerry the last time. They would of walked into the White House even with the Republicans commiting voter fraud as we seen happen with the diabold lawsuit and HBO show. Did you see that?
Further on the Hillary matter, if she was John Kerry's running mate they would of been able to appoint all these Supreme court justices. I believe that that is the main reason that evryone is so shaky to vote for her, they feel that she is an oportunist. Then there is Edwards, I like him but I think he is too short to be President. I think this fact hurts his chances . Where is Al Gore????Why can't he run??? Kasynich is looking as the choice for voters out here!
Well I hope that you answer this email and PLease check out my petition.
Respectfully, Kevin Lynch from boston
