NBC apologizes to Michele Bachmann, ‘severely reprimanded’ Fallon band | Inside TV | EW.com.
“Severely reprimanded”–what does that mean? Did the network hide the band’s dope, or make them take down their Janeane Garofalo posters? You do not “reprimand” a musician, or a band–you fire them. Now because NBC has not seen fit to fire this band or even the ringleader whose idea it was to play that song, what are we supposed to think?
There is an easy way out. Fire Jimmy Fallon. That’s whose name is on every show, and that’s who gets to soak up the blame. You want your own show? Great, you own it. Apologies are more than words.
Fire that drummer. But is it MSNBC. Totally disrespectful. I am a Ron Paul fan but that is totally uncool. Once he is fired he can always “attempt to farm” and get $50 grand from his pal Obama.
