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.

Who should he sue? CBS? Seems to me he broadcasts there at their pleasure, although maybe he could name them in a suit. I just don’t know.

It's a private employer and they have every right to fire him

Though .. he also has every right to move to satellite radio and let loose on all those who hung him out to dry

A white man said the words, another white man did the firing (Imus and Moonves).

The end result being achieved by and dependent on the existence of unrelenting, tireless pressure, intimidation, euphoria/outrage (both genuine and feigned) and lastly and especially hypocrisy, is what makes that a hard sell for me.

I would like to see all of us equally accountable. And that just doesn't appear to be happening here.

As for CBS, I believe they made the proper business decision - what's best for business, anyway, which is what they pretty much have to do, I think.

"Now that the liberal PC Police have set the new standard of employment in broadcasting who do you think will be next? Rosie? Alan Colmes? Al Franken?"

Probably someone on the left, like you suggest. It would have to be since pundits on the right are already being targeted.

Which thread are you on? Let me know so I can check it out. From the comments I’ve been reading on this story, it appeared to me that the majority of people posting are pretty upset about the railroading of Imus by the hypocritical libs, Sharpton, et al.

Are you two guys working?

good riddance. show was awful. now maybe i can get something decent to hear on the drive into work.

he referred to emeka okafor as a dumb immigrant.

a man from houston who graduated in 3 years from uconn in business.

man is totally ignorant.

now if he is investigated by the FCC, well then i’ll start defending his 1st ammendment rights.

Look. Freepers.

These are liberal media.
These are liberal academics and educators.
These are liberal corporate boards.
These are liberal church and synagogue councils.

If they decide to shut you down, you have noway to stop them. Period.

Someday we will be shut up for being prolife because that means we are anti-woman.
Someday we will be shut up for being pro-defense because that will mean we are racist imperialists.
Someday we will be shut up for being pro-religion because that will mean we are narrow-minded oppressors.

If we do not begin to organize now and fight back—to take back the schools, the media, the churches, the synagogues—we will be asking for it.

I am a senior tenure professor. One line from me which does not fit someone’s point of view and I will have my classroom picketed and then forced either to apologize and then be suspended or be simply be fired as a bigot, misogynist or whatever other tag they want to hang on me.

Fight back.

and turning off CBS and NBC and MSNBC.

That'll be kinda tough for me come football season. Onyx's San Diego Chargers games are carried on CBS. Onyx knows I watch the Chargers games when my Cowboys aren't playing. :)

What was it Tony Blair said this week??

I'm tired of being blamed for their problems. There is a lot of people who have immigrated here from other countries and had become a huge success because they worked..... instead of playing the victim card...

Listen to Laura Ingraham tomorrow morning.

Imus on MSNBC is the reason she's even on radio. She had weekly appearances on Imus In The Morning for a long time, then got the radio gig she enjoys now.

I barely watch the networks as it is and we buy the NFL package from DirecTV.

Sorry, but I stick by my original statement. When Sharpton and Jackson apologize to all the White males that they have insulted, disparaged and caused physical and financial pain (not to mention the emotional pain), then I’ll reconsider.

Or have you forgotten “Hymietown”, Tawana Brawley and Howard Beach? Not to mention the Duke Lacrosse players???

Fox just announcing Gov. Corzine has been injured in a car accident by a hit and run driver.

Schumer racing to a microphone to talk about Imus?

In reference to the firing of Don Imus, I have a few observations. It pains me to say this but it’s beginning to look like Al Sharpton, a pathological liar, and Jessie Jackson, a gold-plated liar, are now running this country. Those two along with Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid are going to bring down this republic. It’s too late for me to move to Australia or New Zealand but I am going to try to help my kids and grandchildren if that be their wishes. I can see the future and this country is going to be locked in a revolution that eventually will belong to the ones with the most guns. I only have one gun but plan to arm my children and grandchildren.

I believe he did (say he voted for Bush) but, then anyone with half a brain would have voted for Bush over Gore or Kerry.

Emeka Okafor has a higher IQ than the entire Rutgers womens' basketball team combined.

How do I know this? I know it because this is the first time I've heard of this comment -- which means he didn't feel a need to stand and snivel in front of a camera, complaining that he'd gotten some kind of permanent emotional scars after hearing those comments from a stupid radio talk show host.
