Ok...time for me to weigh in on this whole Imus thing.
Imus shouldn’t have gotten fired. His bosses at Infinity Radio (CBS) and PMSNBC have let him get away with this for umpteen amount of years.
The ONLY reason that Imus got canned at PMSNBC is because there was some Sales Account Executive that saw his/her comission check in peril because the sponsors were pulling out.
And with the ratings of PMSNBC...they can’t afford to lose even their lowest billed sponsor.
If the ad revenue hadn’t started drying up...the press release from PMSNBC would have read “we disagree with what he said...but we stand behind Don Imus”.
This idiot with CBS that wants Imus fired from WFAN...where was his indignation at the ugly term “Ho” in reference to black women in any number of Ludacris...R. Kelly...Eminem or Snoop Dogg videos playing on BET...the station he runs!!!
And Al Sharpton needs to STFU...the man behind Twanna Brawley...and the Freddy’s Fasion Mart debacle...has NO RIGHT to wag his finger at anyone and lecture them about race and being a bigot.
When was the last time Al Sharpton raised a dime for anyone but himself??? I don't particularly care for Imus, but this is waaaay out of proportion.
