Eric,
You clearly DO get it -- it's all about ratings.
There's a movie from maybe 20 years ago called "Network" that
satirized this phenomenon.
Businesses exist for one reason, generally, and that is to make money.
There are exceptions, but they are few and far between.

I don't buy it. This guy is no different than any of the other
morons spewing hatred and making ridiculous comments on their radio
programs. Nothing more than a ploy to get ratings. Only when there
is an uproar over something they said do they pretend to apologize.
The public apology these days does not hold water. I really wish
the communication companies would take a stand a say that this type
of content is not allowable and get rid of these people that say
these things. But, they won't because it generates ratings and that
means money. Again, money is more important than what is the right
thing to do.
Sorry, call me a pessimist.

Jared,
It seems Tony Kornheiser got the message and invited Lance Armstrong
on his show today to apologies for his rant!
Here is the link to his podcast with Lance this morning:
