			<description><![CDATA[I find any negative remark about any person a sign of a lower level of consciousness. But what is even worst ( this is my opinion) is when will the media become sensitive enough to let Ms. Houston Rest In Peace? At what point can the family begin their proper transitional period? The media in America seems to "milk" an event ad nauseum. To gain their noteriety off of the backs of others. Media, did you ever stop and wonder why America was not invited to the wedding in England( was it last year?)because the American media does not seem know how to tell the news without editorializing. Just tell the story. American media over the past few decades your insensitive lack of ethics and morals have faded. I am in media myself. Once we have eaten the meal, push the plate back and say "thank you" Being in the media arena, I know about ammendment one, yet learn the importance of morality.

			<description><![CDATA[As the host of a smooth jazz/R&B radio show that in 13 years has done my best to appeal to as broad a cross-section of the american radio audience as I can, I'm far more offended by Jon and Ken calling Whitney Houston a "Ho" than for calling her a crackhead. Why? Because "ho" is slang for a prostitute -- and prostitution is a criminal offense. Don Imus got fired from CBS Radio because he called the Rutgers women's basketball team prostitutes. You don't accuse someone of criminal activity on the public airwaves without providing any evidence to back you up -- otherwise, you can get yourself sued for slander and defamation of character. Whitney Houston isn't alive to take those two turkeys to court for slander. But her mother, Cissy Houston, and her cousin, Dionne Warwick, can sue them for defaming their family.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I don't think they should be fired, suspended, yes... I honestly don't think there's a single person out there who wasn't / isn't thinking the same things John and Ken verbalized on-air... The "ho" part could have been dropped, as apparently only people of colour are permitted to say such a word (...and is used constantly...) Crack ho is more an expression, and certainly wasn't said to imply Mrs. Houston was a prostitute, so I feel the community who's rallying to have them fired for use of the word are a bunch who are looking for something that isn't there. It was insensitive of them for sure, even poor taste, but last I checked, you have the right to be offended.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I cannot believe that both Jon & Ken one of the most highly rated talk personalities who work at one of the most highly listened to stations in L.A were only suspended and have not been given a more substantiated penalty like being immediately dismissed! This is unacceptable - period! It is one thing to say your opinions about people or subjects but not when it comes to hatred. Bear in mind that the public broadcasting airwaves as well as the broadcasting companies that stream on the internet, do not belong to the talent or the broadcasting companies, the airwaves belong to you, me , & millions of listeners worldwide. When Imus did his racial no-no slur 3 years ago, not only should he have been fired but never been allowed to come back and this should be the case of Jon & Ken and anyone else that uses public airwaves / internet streaming and the privilege of broadcasting being in the position in using our airwaves to spew public hatred and ignorance.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[If they were on one of my stations, they'd get one suspension for such language. If it happened again, they would be fired; and I'd make sure the other stations knew why. At the same time, I hear black leaders get on white's, if the whites use the N word; yet you listen to most any black comedian or black radio announcer and you hear the N word almost daily. This matter also needs to be addressed; but black leaders don't seem to be interested in calling down a black that uses the N word.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Oh - wow! I listen to the odd sound-bytes of these two. Yes, it was over the top, so a suspension is in order, but not a firing. But... only the "black community" would be offended? I won't welcome this on my future BTR radio Program. (Comments and tribalism outrage...)]]></description>
