Toda's Imus show (Tuesday) featured several guests who gave
testimonials about Imus' good works and a NBC piece that presented Al
Sharpton, who still thinks that Imus should be fired. MSNBC will be at
Rutgers at 11 am to cover the apology attempt there.
I got MSNBC several years ago to listen to the Imus show, which,
as a Canadian, I knew nothing about. I wanted to hear plain speaking
about issues of the day and not the carefully crafted set pieces of
the pr people. I thought Imus would be blunt and ask the awkward
questions.
Over the years, I got tired of the same old faces of a small in-
group of politicos and media people who all seemed to hang out around
72 street and lunch at Elaines. What is worse, I watched an irascible
old shock jock lash out at people who couldn't fight back. I am
thinking of regular attacks on Sid Rosenburg and Chris Carlin as well
as a young woman from MSNBC that he attacked in public and drove off
the show.
Hubris http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/hubris is an exaggerated
self confidence that eventually brings about fatal retribution.
"Men think that by ill-treating others they make their own superiority
the greater."...Aristotle.
This whole uproar is over a racial slur made by a man affected by
hubris. Times have changed and this sort of thing is no longer
acceptable in US society,

It drives the biggest morning show in LA. on KFI.

It is even illegal in Canada and Europe and may trigger speech laws
in the US.

Not in the USA.

It also has a bearing on the conduct of rec.radio.shortwave, where
insults, racial slurs and slander is the order of the day. This may
be an opportunity to clean up the act.

Not a chance.

There may be limits to free speech.

Not here.

Telamon,

It would seem that "Freedom" {of Speech and Expression}
has become just another Word in Canada and Europe.

A curious post...what's your point?

Actually I pay 99 cents a month for MSNBC and I like to keep an eye on
my investment.

FREEDOM isn't free.It takes Fighting and Bleeding and Dieing to have
FREEDOM.

I watched Imus this morning until 8:00 and he was quite rattled at
times. He apologised profusely for his comments about the Rutgers team
and indicated that his show would be more politically correct for the
"next 4 or 5 years".
He had spent much of the weekend consulting with Al Sharpton and
the head of the First Baptist Church and they both agreed that he was
fundamentally a "good person" who made a "stupid mistake" but they
both felt he should resign anyway.
His guests were supportive and I think the New York Times article
(previous post) got it right.
He said he would be on Al Sharpton's radio program and network at
1 pm eastern time today. For those not near a station, Sharpton can
be heard at sharptalk.net.
Al Sharpton was booked on Tuesday's show.
The story is still unfolding but if Imus survives, it will be with
a much tamer show. I think another pressure comes from the lawyers.
Imus may be afraid of having the pants sued off him. Stay tuned.

KFI is NOT the "biggest morning show in LA."

Verifying data, KFI has not been #1 in the morning (6 AM to 9 AM) in any
ratings book in the last two years... 2005 and 2006.

It's amusing how you cite ratings when convenient, but reject them when you
can not defend your personal agenda.

Boeing? Hows it going with Boeing Aircraft's Stupid idea of developing
and building and selling Aircars? I once emailed Boeing Aircraft about
that and I told them they should stick with building Airplanes.I never
did get a reply from them though.

I don't know which radio station in California/San Francisco area is the
biggest/most popular,but I think (only thinking here) KOGO (if that's
the one I am thinking about?) in the San Francisco is very popular over
there.Isn't that the radio station The Babe in the Bunker (Barbara
Simpson) broadcast from?
