In Reply To: He's got to be the first person fired for saying fuck -in NEW YORK, of all places! Fuck isnt' even a four letter word in New York. It's spelled "Fuuuuuck!" As in "Frankie, gimmie the fuuuuuckin' bagel already! Fuck or Fuuuuuck! is simply woven into the city's daily verbage. I think Aurthur can make the arguement that he was just being converstational.
Message: the precedent was set by CBS/ViaCom when the cbs o&o in austin fired their main sports guy because an F-bomb laced outake in taped segment he cut for the morning show accidentally made air. poor robert flores lost his job after saying it on a tape that shoud have never made air. if a reporter says it live, they had no choice it would be hypocritical, and open the door to a suit by flores.
