Like I said, no real impact to the station for Macs actions...but no way a big company cant take action for that....

I think at this point Mrs. Bernstein only cares about Mr. Bernstein's checks twice a month. Which is now in jeopardy. She'll only yell at him once he's fired. Doesn't care about his bullshit otherwise. He could make a sexist comment about her mother on the air as long as he keeps making the money. That's my guess.

As long as he keeps up the on air shilling for the extravagant gay weddings, all will be fine. That's where the big money is.

Like in HS....when I get suspended....or did I take a day off? Either way they marked it down as SUSPENDED.

of course I just called a teacher an asshole....I didnt perpetuate slander and lies after oggling the tits of other sportscasters....

Heh, I called my teacher a bitch.

I called one a lesbian. Actually I asked her if she was a lesbian. Didn't get suspended but my dad whooped my ass pretty good.

Her name was Mrs. Tintore. I used to call her Mrs. Titwhore. She was a stupid bitch. She didn't appreciate me pointing that out to her. My old man understood.

I knew you were home-schooled ...

That Dan is actually getting punished for being a misogynist makes me doubt we're really in Peak Bernstein after all.

If nothing else this is akin to putting something in his permanent folder. Now CBS HR is covered and prepped should he continue this. Easier to terminate him and his contract should it become necessary.

From Feder:

For the second time in recent months WSCR AM 670 talk show host Dan Bernstein is in hot water for tweeting an offensive message about a female television personality.

Bosses of the CBS Radio sports/talk station yanked Bernstein from his afternoon show Wednesday and ordered him to delete a tweet he posted Monday night about Cheryl Scott, the meteorologist on ABC-owned WLS-Channel 7.

Minutes after the Blackhawks won the Stanley Cup, Bernstein tweeted: “And the real award for this year’s close connection to the @NHLBlackhawks is @CherylScottWX!!” It apparently was an allusion to rumors that linked Scott romantically to one or more Blackhawks players.

Last March Scott used social media to deny the rumors. Here is the text of her Instagram message:

“Never be afraid to raise your voice for honesty and truth and compassion against injustice and lying and greed. If people all over the world . . . would do this, it would change the earth.” — William Faulkner

Some think they have the right to “write” just anything. Let me say this . . . RUMORS will never be truth. I feel bad for anyone who has had to go through a time when their world was interrupted because of hateful, negative words. Let’s all remember, we WRITE our OWN stories! Nobody else can steal that pen away.

On Tuesday, bosses of the Score received calls from ABC 7 management and Scott’s agent, attorney Andrew Stroth. Both objected strongly to the tone and inference of Bernstein’s tweet, according to sources familiar with the conversations.

By Wednesday, Bernstein had been slapped with a one-day suspension and was ordered to remove the message. Score producer Matt Abbatacola filled in for him alongside co-host Terry Boers. Bernstein is expected to return Thursday.

Score officials did not respond to requests for comment. Stroth declined to comment. Bernstein’s agent, Brian Musburger, could not be reached for comment.

Last March Bernstein touched off a firestorm for initiating an exchange of tweets with Score midday co-host Matt Spiegel that many viewed as sexist and degrading toward Aiyana Cristal, a female anchor/reporter for Comcast SportsNet Chicago.

Both Bernstein and Spiegel apologized on the air for their comments. “I’m an idiot,” Bernstein said at the time. “My tweet was childish, my tweet was crass and unnecessary, and I’m sorry I dragged an innocent person into it who’s doing a job, and I made an observation I shouldn’t have made, and it was childish and silly and stupid.”

I'm willing to bet it was Jerry Tafts tweet that started that ball rolling where ABC management got involved

A one day suspension is comical. If they really wanted to look like they gave a shit, it should have been a simple 4-day / rest of week suspension. He should not have been on the air Tuesday....and the rest of the week,....if they really wanted to suspend him. One day is comical.

Soooooooo Wrong.....

First of all, I am surprised he did this so recently after his last "mistake" on twitter, so him doing something else even dumber at this point cant be ruled out.

The suspension isnt given to discipline him. It is given to partially appease the others at ABC who are in his industry...so they can say they took some action...

but more important at this point , if Danny Boy goes off on his next target.....after some Wine, late at night....they would now have the right to fire him, if he does do something, and he would have very little to ay about it.

Jen Lada better watch out............... :D

Definitely.

I've said it before, but I'm really surprised that Camp One Step still wants a guy who has been called racist, sexist, and misogynistic more than once to remain as one of the faces of their charity.

I agree. If Taft was willing to go public like that, if you have to think the entire ABC newsroom was pissed.

His last apology was about as insincere as could be. It was all about him, how he needs to do better, he needs to improve....I missed the apology last time.

I do expect the same.

Once again, its not about the suspension, its not about anything other than caving to some pressure from another media outlet and having another mark against him so when he does something really dumb he is out.

Essentially, all female commentary might be off limits for him....

Al female commentary should've been the edict issued last time. This should've been last straw. I'm guessing it's silence from him today. No apology , just will ignore anything happened.

All being said, Bernstein's suspension does give more attention to Cheryl Scott baning Sharpe. Feder tried to write it carefully, but when people ask about it, it will be explained on twitter and facebook by everybody.

But, yeah, Bernstein can't talk about women ever again. Not on the air. Not on twitter. Not even to his wife.

His tweet wasn't even that clever. Was this the first time he actually went on the record mentioning Cheryl Scott by name?
