The Assault On Talk Radio

Love him or hate him, Imus is getting screwed.

First off it started with some comments made by Imus over the Rutgers University Basketball Team. The NCAA team which is made up of eight black players and two white players, was referred to by Imus, as "nappy headed hos". Was this a stupid comment? Yep. Was it racist? No.

Imus is a moron. I've always believed that. I grew up hearing him in the morning because my Dad always listened to him, but seriously if anyone could pull off looking like a cowboy Keith Richards, it's Imus. He's a dried up, drugged out, old grouch, with no talent, and no intelligence. With that being said he is being screwed by the system.

Imus has made a thirty year career out of being a shock jock. This is nothing new. Yet suddenly he makes this comment and the whole entire media pulls out their pitchforks. Is this anything new? No. So why are they acting like it is?

You cannot tell me that the NBC that prided itself on Imus so much, that they created a television simulcast on their MSNBC network, is shocked by this action. You cannot tell me that after 30 years they suddenly get a hard on for something that this old fart says on the radio.

The reason that all the media outlets are outraged by Imus, now, is because they can further their own political agenda through making an example out him. They have successfully taken a TALK RADIO host and thrown him out on his ass, and this is what they want to do to all of them. They want to get rid of the alternative media. Whether it is accomplished through the Un-Fairness Doctrine or through lobbyist demanded censorship they don't care.

Imus is not a conservative by any stretch, but it doesn't matter to these people. The media thrives for the days of Walter Cronkite when the American people swallowed everything that the MSM said, simply because there was no alternative to say otherwise. Their hatred of people like Rush Limbaugh is so fermented that you would get blurry eyed just standing next to them. They will do anything to destroy that entire outlet, and holding Imus to a candle like this just proves that.

If someone like Dave Chappelle had made a comment like this on Comedy Central, it would've got a laugh and that would have been it. But since Imus said it, suddenly it's this massive outrage. The mail-in Reverend Al Sharpton is NOT the person to talk about race relations. I think he should be called out on his comments that he made about the Duke boys. When this first happened, Sharpton and his posse, was ready to hang those kids without there being any evidence at all supporting the stripper that accused them. Where are the apologies from the cereal box Rev and his flock? Chances are you are not going to hear it.

But when Imus apologizes and repents, the media just goes further and further in ways to screw him. Now instead of just suspending him for two weeks, we see the cancellation of his TV simulcast on MSNBC, and now we are hearing mutterings of him being fired. When is the double standard going to come to an end folks? When is political correctness going to be put to an end, before it destroys this country?
