They both were recorded saying mean and very harsh things to their kids.

It doesn't make much sense. Oh, and I don't believe Dog should have lost his show.

It wasn't about "mean, harsh" things being said to their children. For Dog, it's about the phone call but it's also coupled with all of the other things that are going on. The man is facing a prison term for attempting to apprehend a suspect where he didn't have juristiction and I believe the suspect was injured. Who knows how that case is going to end? Add to it the fact that he killed a blk man twenty years ago under questionable circumstances and all of the allegations against both him and his wife and you have a situation that is more problematic than it's worth. I mean, it was an A&E show that was somewhat popular but certainly no American Idol. We're not talking about major financial loss to the network in this shows cancellation but it could have been a major blow had they kept the guy...who may be going to jail anyway where he can share a cell with a blk guy he locked up.
Why does the fact that it was supposed to be private change anything? This man is an extension of law enforcement and has a great deal of power over people. If that's the way that he feels and operates and there's nothing wrong with it, he shouldn't mind it becoming public. I've said it once and I'll say it again: I don't know why a bunch of strangers are attempting to justify or sweep under the rug something that his own son couldn't justify and didn't think should be swept under the rug. If Al Sharpton was on a private call with Jesse Jackson and made comments in the same vein the Dog did, would you care that it was supposed to be a private call or would you be screaming for their heads regardless?

Alec Baldwin's daughter is 10? 11? Dog's son is an adult.
And saying harsh things about a person's behavior versus racist things about a son's girlfriend are different things entirely, so you're comparing apples to oranges.

I don't think he should have been fired, but he would probably get his show back. Look at Imus he's coming back on air.
I look at it this way, when Isiah Washington got fired for saying f@ggot only twice, he didn't get hired back, not only that but they basically used him to finish the season and then said "okay we don't want you anymore". But when Imus said the N-word, which wasn't his only offense, he has been known to say hurtful horrendously racial and sexist slurs, yet he got his job back, so big lesson, you can say the n-word but not the f-word, how backwards is that?

i don't think that dogs show should have been taken off
and to the guy above me, i don't think that any black person went and whined about the situation. it was bad for business. grow up and learn to take responsibility for your actions. that is all it boils down to.

It's all about business and the target audiences.

When you add race into the factor, you screw yourself over.
***Even though the call was SUPPOSED to be private
