'nuddin personal, jus bidness

Ok, you free-market, conservative apologists, maybe you'll understand this. Again, it's not controversial; it's a matter of economics. You mess with the bottom line of corporate America and they mess with you. "'Nuddin' personal, understand? Jus bidness." Yeah, boss man, we understand you.

Amercian Express, General Motors, Staples, and Proctor and Gamble (dominions of equality and fairness that they are!) have pulled advertising from MSNBC in response to Imus' comments. These are annual ad revenues in the 3-5 million range for MSNBC. So what does MSNBC do. Hey, just bidness. They drop Imus like a letch.

Isn't that how you image the market is supposed to work?
