Post subject:  Suspended or Fired?

I know. Another thread. You guys hate this shit from me. But this is a general question about media bosses.

What the hell are you doing here, Mitch Rosen?

If the decision is made to suspend somebody, doesn't that mean you should just fire them? Especially in this day and age.

Why didn't Dan McNeil get the luxury of just being suspended for a week for his evil crime?

Bernstein gets the week off. He goes fishing for 7 days. Kills more pregnant fish. Comes back. Gives a bullshit apology. Then life goes on. I just don't get it from the perspective of media bosses.

I think this is an interesting topic.

To be fair, Mac had a much longer history of annoying the suits and creating headaches for them than does bernstein.

Bernsie wasn't even suspended for boobies was he? If so, he simply came back and did a somber apology at the beginning of the show and that was it.

McNeil wasn't jewish. Mitch Rosen needs to be fired as the Score has become a joke with him in charge. Hires token black and woman and surrounds them with jewish clowns

Yep, Mitch hasn't had the ability to fire any on air talent in over a decade. When Mac got fired, that wasn't Mitch's call. This situation is likewise entirely out of his hands.

A glorified accountant in NY is going to be the one making this decision.

Dan should not be fired. Maybe suspended for a day or two. Mac shouldn't have been fired either.

My guess is they want out of these contracts and this is a clean way to get them off the books.

At least he didn't comment on someone's "boobies" or call a black woman basketball player a wildebeast this time!! Angry, insecure, hateful person.
Dan clearly has some temper and hate issues. His actions are inexcusable and he should be fired. Hopefully he can schedule a few more therapy sessions to help him understand where these hurtful feelings come from. This is 2025 and to threaten to dox someone is a sign of an insecure and unstable person. Dan needs help and I wish him the best in his next opportunity. Advertisers should boycott the Score unless he is fired.

I can't say for certain but is seems reasonable that in his fall from afternoon drive host to middays solo, to middays with McDoink, and finally to middays in a part-time three chair formation, Bernstein has taken a few haircuts, so maybe his contract isn't the albatross it, rightfully, once was.

That said, if Mac deserved to get popped for how his social media transgressions made him too expensive of a headache for a business with flatlining income, so too does Bernstein need to be sent to pasture for threatening to doxx someone on social media and somehow involve that person's children.

Don't forget, on top of the time(s) he applauded the station firing someone he doesn't much care for, Dan also apparently threw Goff under the buss for the dumpster fire that was Bernstein & Goff, and who decided to save his own skin instead of try to defend his co-host McDoink when cuts were handed down.

The pound of flesh has already been taken. He cared about the charity. He's "doing time" in the studio. Just let the man finish his "sentence". Just be happy his downfall was killing a pregnant mom and then showed her bloody corpse to the world. It's plenty.

Where are you getting that story?

Dan didn't, like, resign out of solidarity but I don't remember him doing the opposite. Like with Mac firing, he defers to authority.

I am shocked and appalled. He needs to be Held Accountable!

As I understand it, successful radio/TV duos used their individual contract negotiating power to protect the duo, so each member in effect protected themselves and their partner. Dan said goodbye and good luck to McDoink, but he had gotten his and wasn't sharing.

As for the Goff thing, Jason took to twitter sometime after his firing and said that the direction of the show was agreed upon, but in the end one party played dumb (Dan) and said they wanted to go a different way but deferred to Jason. Goff got fired, Dan got demoted.

Now that One Step cut ties, maybe Dan can take up a new cause and join the fight against JDRF.

Will he apologize? For what? He is then admitting he did something wrong.

I think Dan would disagree with the PR here (or lack of). Not sure if they are just waiting for this to blow over and not have to issue any statements or if they are still reviewing.....I still think he's highly likely to be back next week with no changes. If he does address it, does he refer to the site as Twitter, X or the Nazi site?

As Dan says very often when someone makes a questionable or controversial comment or post, “He cannot survive this. Must be fired.” Truer words were never spoken. Time for Dan to be removed and he can reflect on his despicable behavior and work to be better. It is hilarious that the self appointed public relations expert has done something so unforgivably stupid.

I would think if he is close to being fired they would not be playing promos for the show. Also Marshall still saying its Bernstein and Harris every chance he gets.
