Ever since Ross appeared on our screens I have seen him as nothing more than a foul-mouthed child, mouthing off for effect and then feigning injured innocence with that “who me?” look on his face.

I make a point of not watching or listening to his broadcasts
That, Sir, pretty much bellows that you haven't looked at the issue in question. You haven't looked at the original sources. You're going off second hand information. The transcript, for example, is condensed and edited. The full recording is easily accessible. You haven't viewed the apology, which contains his resignation also. If you had viewed it then you'd know that claiming the resignation was a face-saver entailed tarring the apology with the same brush. Reacting to the media's interpretation? Perlease. It speaks volumes that only two complaints were issued after the recording was aired and thousands more after the NON-STORY hit the rags.
