And it's hard to forget the infamous Imus incident:

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/cbs-fir...r-racial-slur/

Imus found himself at the center of a storm after he called members of
the Rutgers team "nappy-headed hos" last week. Protests ensued, and one
by one, numerous sponsors pulled their ads from Imus' show. On
Wednesday, MSNBC dropped its simulcast of the program.
