Isn't it amazing how ignorant and at the same time opinionated foreigners can be about the United States
Imus gave them a club and they beat his brains out.
“The right-wing US broadcasters who fill the air with invective operate way beyond the conventions of good taste.But now one of them, Don Imus, has gone too far - and paid for his loose lips with his job.”
Imus endorsed John Kerry in 2004.
Morons...Imus was anything but right wing. He was a liberal, and his own lib “friends” abandoned him when his ship started sinking after hitting the Jackson-Sharpton iceberg.
Anybody who follows things knows Imus isn't a "right-winger," in any real sense of the word. I wouldn't call him a "left-winger" either. He's a Democrat, more or less middle of the road for his party.
Maybe "millionaire populist" might be a good way to describe Imus. "Right-wing" isn't.
It took less than two complete sentences to prove Andrew Buncombe is a fool.
Not only that, but even if they had gotten Imus’ political-leanings correctly, would he be considered a “shock jock” at all? What did Imus ever do that was “shocking?” (I don’t know myself, and never cared to find out).
Not all radio talk-show hosts are “right-wing”.
Don Aimless is, well, hard to classify. A surly old curmudgeon, he is all over the board, but uniform in one respect - he is an equal-opportunity insult artist, disguised as “comedic”.
Most of the time he is about as funny as somebody who makes jokes about a man with a broken leg on a rubber crutch.
Stopped reading right there. Apparently Buncombe isn't smart enough to bury his Leftist stupidity in the main body of the editorial.
I stopped reading right where they called Imus a right winger. Anybody who believes that has zero credibility.
And faith, Tom Cruise must be Irish, doncha know, 'cuz I saw him play one on TV once. Begorrah!
Danny Bonaduce:Shoot Fonda and hang Rosie?Sounds good to me:)I didn’t know he had a show.
There you go, ruining the leftist take on the story. So what that Imus was a liberal; the ‘reporter’ needed to show how rightwingers on US radio get hammered when they go too far.
Facts mean nothing to these people. It’s all about their agenda.
For some reason, the Irish are particularly interested in the Imus story (perhaps because the ridiculous Andrew Sullivan has tried to translate him to the British Isles & Ireland).
As an Irish-American, I am so sick of the Irish getting down on America. When their economy was in the dumps (since what - 1600?), America took them in and employed them. Sure, they took their lumps here, but who started the draft riots during the Civil War that took so many African-American lives? But I’m sure they’re completely ignorant of their history here in the states.
Sorry, but the smoke is still coming out of my ears...
I guess I misspoke. Imus may be a registered Republican. Anyway, Don Imus did support John Kerry, so he's not a "right-winger."
Imus .. right wing??? What is this guy smoking??? I can tell ya that it ain’t a 4-leaf clover ..........
And he's a LIBERAL Andrew, you effin' moron.
Agenda is right...they even jumped on the “you people” comment during his appearance on Sharpton’s program.
BTW... can someone please explain to me how calling two or more human beings “you people” is so d**ned offensive?
I feel sorry for those in England who read the unmitigated twaddle that Buncombe puts out, and think it has something to do with the reality of society and politics in the US. That's what he pretends to put out. But I don't think either he or his editors are so stupid as to believe this tripe.
My opinion of them is slightly higher to conclude that they are dishonest, than that they actually believe what they publish. I mean, that's REALLY dumb.
