      Sharpton owes $1.5 million in back taxes

      Posted by Jeff from MSNBC

      Over the past year, Sharpton's lawyers and the staff of his nonprofit group, the National Action Network, have been negotiating with the federal government over the size of his debt, which they dispute. The group has also been trying to pay off tens of thousands of dollars it owes for failing to properly maintain workers compensation and unemployment insurance.

      Furor rages despite Imus’ apology

      Posted by Jeff from MSNBC

      I'm with Sharpton. Imus should go: “I accept his apology, just as I want his bosses to accept his resignation,” said the Rev. Al Sharpton.

Other media outlets can't have it both ways. They can't employ a racist for a radio show and then express regret at his remarks...repeatedly.
