Don Imus is suspended,gets two weeks off.According to article atwww.drudgereport.com cuhulin """""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" """"""""""""""" 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 is even illegal in Canada and Europe and may trigger speech laws in the US. 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. There may be limits to free speech. All in all, I agree with Sharpton. Imus has done this several times before, apologised, and done it again. He is not so big and powerful that he can't be brought down. The bigger they are, the harder they fall. |

There may be limits to free speech. Not here. -- Telamon Ventura, California |

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. |
