Michael Richards meets a broadcast audience.

lameautarch says he doesn't see how she retains her show. We will see. This country is in a completely different political 'atmosphere' (as Olbermann would say) than when Don Imus lost his job in 2007.

I guess it comes down to whether her advertisers think her obvious racism is a liability to them. They may well conclude it isn't, much. I haven't seen much evidence that there is actually any liability or cost to entertainers, talking heads, or elected officials for being openly racist. If they're someone with a boss they might get fired, but if they are accountable to the public, there's usually not much that can be done besides grumbling.

She has a boss. The checks she deposits are signed by someone.
