Imus Fired From Radio As Well
WFAN-AM ^ | April 12, 2007

Posted on 04/12/2007 1:44:34 PM PDT by Dont Mention the War

It was just announced on the "Mike and the Mad Dog Show" on WFAN (Imus's home base): Imus is out of a job on radio as well.

He will not even be on the air tomorrow.

I'll be boycotting every advertiser on the CBS radio network from this day forward.

We need to get deadly serious about this. If we don't, we're going to get steamrolled.

Two points I haven't seen mentioned yet: 1. I believe that Imus has 2 years to go on his contract. CBS will have to pay him off, unless they want to state that he was fired for cause, which would result in a trial..and they would lose

2. Imus has 4 daughters by his second wife. They used to be on the air often, back before he married Deidre. He then pretty much blew off his first family. Otherwise he could have had his girls out to defend him..

I believe it was Imus who, after visiting Walter Reed, brought the deplorable conditions to the fore, it wasn’t until the WaPo took it up that anyone listened.

Media Matters for America, the group headed by conservative turned liberal writer David Brock, has changed course on its stated association with billionaire liberal financier George Soros.

After initially claiming on Dec. 1, 2004 that "neither Media Matters nor its president and CEO David Brock has received any money from Soros or from any organization with which he is affiliated," the group is no longer disavowing any connection with groups "affiliated" with Soros.

The Media Matters shift came after Cybercast News Service questioned the group's financial ties and demonstrated that there were numerous and extensive links between Media Matters and several Soros "affiliates" like MoveOn.org, the Center for American Progress and Soros ally Peter Lewis.

Media Matters for America (MMA) spokeswoman Sally Aman responded to Cybercast News Service's questions with an e-mail. "In response to your query regarding donor funding Media Matters for America has never received funding directly from George Soros," Aman stated, no longer denying any relationship with organizations affiliated with Soros.

She went on to reference the "early support from Moveon.org, and the New Democrat Network," that Media Matters had received.

Check out, dude. Do you think that the corporations got those emails about Imus within days without coordination? I still say that Hillary is shaping the battle field by taking out Imus.

The politically correct spin on this from Hugh Hewitt and Juan (foxnews panel) is this is all market driven.

Imus is not Jewish, but he is a minister.

I recall when SNL had a nasty slur about Chelsea Clinton. There was apologies but I don’t think anyone got fired.

Mike and the Mad Dog were passionate defenders of Imus..this afternoon, after the CBDS announcementm, they both said on air that they were almost ashamed that they worked for CBS. And on Fox, Gibson’s show...Bo Dietl threatened to punch out Dick Morris..

At least I see Juan Williams actually understands that having Al and Jesse leading the charge and the continuation of the rap community that they are hypocrites going after Imus.

Then an oblivious blithering radio host gave it to them.

The fact that this was Imus' standard faire is proof that this was no coincidence. Imus didn't stumble he was carrying on as usual.

Where does it end with blacks in America? How much hypocrisy is OK?

Should've picked our own damned cotton.

Thank you.

I started this out in 2004 just after the election.

I wonder if Imus will come groveling to Howard for a job on Sirius?

Stern doesn't run Sirius, Stern and Imus' old boss Mel Karmazin does.

"Now wait until you see what the PC lynch mob has in store for the rest of us."

It's not in store. They are now, have been, and will be vigorously endeavoring to take down Rush et al by any means necessary.

“Apology Busters
You think you’re off to a great start when...

By Mr. Apology (Steven Brunson)

“Yeah, well you ought to be sorry”! Ever hear that line before? Maybe you weren’t the one who said it, but if you ever have heard it said by someone else it sends cold shivers down your spine.

Why? Because you know if the apology ever had a chance of healing the hurt and restoring the relationship, it just suffered a major setback.

That is an apology buster. The apology gets cut off at the knees before it gets a chance to walk.

They may have said such unkind words as a way of lashing back or in some feeble attempt to preserve what fragile image they have of themselves. It could be that it springs from blatant unrestrained anger. Or they may have said such words out of hurt, extreme disappointment or long term pent up feelings that subconsciously erupted and now they are embarrassed by the words they said.

Situations that warrant apologies are generally passionate and words are not always carefully measured before they are spoken. Those “off the cuff” words have a way of coming back to haunt us and we can find ourselves saying things we did not mean to say.

Apology busters are emotionally disappointing as well. You think you are off to a good start as you begin to apologize. If you’ve been practicing your apology, you may have even played out in your mind the mending of the relationship and are hoping for quick resolution. Then out of nowhere comes the bombshell. Something that caught you blindsided. All of a sudden spewing out of their mouth comes their shock and hurt over your clueless insensitivity. They’re thinking, “How dare you not to have thought ahead and considered the consequences of your actions”!

Hopefully all of your practicing has developed both your restraint and resolve. You are going to need it.”
