Ah, so there are consequences for screaming homophobic slurs at reporters. Alec Baldwin got his MSNBC show Up Late suspended for two weeks in the wake of comments he made to a Fox News reporter who asked about a court case Baldwin is involved with. Baldwin apologized for his choice of words in a statement posted on MSNBC’s website. “I did not intend to hurt or offend anyone with my choice of words, but clearly I have – and for that I am deeply sorry,” Baldwin wrote. “Words are important. I understand that, and will choose mine with great care going forward. What I said and did this week, as I was trying to protect my family, was offensive and unacceptable.” Earlier on Friday, Baldwin knocked a photographer’s camera out of his hands and brought out his homosexual hairdresser to tell reporters that Baldwin is not homophobic.
