Hot 97's Peter Rosenberg Threatens to Assault Combat Jack via Twitter
How do you keep a job as a media figure when you're out there unapologetically threatening members of the public via twitter? Is there any justification for this? I mean, if Rush Limbaugh or Glenn Beck did this, wouldn't there be a huge outcry to fire or at least reprimand them?? I wonder if Hot 97 is even aware of/looking into this? [via Bol]
