BBC Show Cleared After The Game's Homophobic Interview....

Bbc bosses have cleared radio dj Jo Whiley after rapper The Game made homophobic comments during an interview with her in 2006.Complaints were lodged after the hip-hop star called gay males "faggots" and "not real men" during an appearance on Radio 1's The Jo Whiley Show in July last year (06).After a committee meeting, the Bbc governors ruled: "The Game's comments were very offensive, completely unacceptable and clearly homophobic".But they decided not to take action against Whiley because she made a "sincere, full and swift" apology and distanced herself and the network from The Game's comments.The Bbc has also banned The Game from future interviews, although they will continue to play his music.
