Just In: MSNBC Drops Imus

C Goodman

MSNBC has announced it will no longer simulcast the "Imus in the Morning" radio show.
The network gave into growing pressure from black community leaders who called for Don Imus' termination. Last week, Imus drew criticsm for calling members of the Rutgers women's basketball team "nappy-headed hos." He has repeatedly apologized for the remark.

Steve Capus went on MSNBC's Hardball to discuss to discuss the decision with fill-in host, NBC White House correspondent David Gregory. Here's some of what Capus said.
"I've received hundreds, if not thousands of emails, both internal and external, with people with very strong views about what should happen. I've listened to those people with their comments. And many of them are people who have worked at NBC News for decades, people who put their lives on the line covering wars and things like that. These comments were deeply hurtful to many, many people," Capus said.

Here's some of the Capus interview.
