The Hardball Briefing On MSNBC
------------------------------------------------------
Radio talk show host Don Imus is without an on-air forum after CBS followed NBC
News and dropped the Imus program. Today, Imus had a personal meeting with the
Rutger's women's basketball team, who say they've accepted his apology, but the
national debate stirred up by the controversy continues.
Tonight on Hardball, the aftermath of Imus: we've assembled a panel to wrap up
the week and talk about the backlash from both sides over the Imus firing, the
accusations of a double standard and where the country stands on racism and
sexism today, including:
- Dr. Faye Williams from the National Congress of Black Women
- radio talk show host show Armstrong Williams
- Bryan Monroe, President of the National Association of Black Journalists
- 1984 Olympic Gold Medalist Benita Fitzgerald Mosley, board member of the
Women's Sports Foundation and president of Women in Cable Telecommunications
- MSNBC Political Analyst Craig Crawford
- David Gergen from U.S. News & World Report
- The Atlanta Journal Constitution's Cynthia Tucker
Then, 60 Years later: The Jackie Robinson Legacy. We'll hear from former LA
Dodger Maury Wills, live from Dodger Stadium.
Plus, Sheryl Crow and Laurie David take a break from their "Stop Global Warming
College Tour" to play Hardball! Don't miss it!
And Monday, Viva Las Vegas! Hardball heads to Sin City for the 2007 NAB
convention and the hottest politics in the West.
