The Imus Situation
Thursday, April 12, 2007 - 7:36 PMI am so tired of this story. It's been blown so far out of proportion it's not even funny. Don't fire him for his sexist comment. Fire him because his ratings on both CBS Radio and MSNBC broadcast are among the lowest of his time slot. Now we have to listen to 2 huge racists themselves, Al Sharpton & Jesse Jackson, spew their BS all over the air waves.
Another great write up from Donklephant. Here is a quote:
Imus has been a so-called shock jock for a long time and has uttered an uncountable number of insensitive remarks over the years. CBS and NBC knew who he was and what he was likely to say. Yet this mildly racist, undeniably sexist comment gets him axed? Why? The answer is simple: the media needed the next sensationalistic story. Once that story was running nonstop, advertisers got scared and pulled away. CBS is just following its advertisers who are following the media who are following the immature, irresponsible, narrow-minded ideology that far too often masquerades as journalism these days.
