Imus Fired: Rev. Wants More Black Hosts

The AP reports: “The Rev. Jesse Jackson said he planned to meet with CBS and NBC executives on Thursday with a delegation of other civil rights activists and lawmakers to discuss the Imus situation and diversity in broadcasting.

‘Imus is on 1,040 hours a [year] and yet they have virtually no black show hosts. That is true for other networks as well,’ Jackson said. ‘We must raise the ethical standard for all of them.'”
