Outrage Over Imus' Overblown

Let me give you a little education into the world of Radio because the part that the public doesn't see is brutal, and sometimes very ugly. While a broadcaster genuinely enjoys the audience and interacting with them, they are always looking for the next bit, the next thing that will keep them ahead and in front of their competition.

Don Imus is a master at this cat 'n mouse game and has BEEN a master for over 30 years. From the bits of "John Cardinal O'Connor" to "Go Baby, Go" with the Clinton's, to the now famous "Nappy Headed Basketball Ho's" Imus has this knack for reaching into his bag of political-incorrectness and throwing it in our face.

Why are you surprised at that? Ron Davis on his blog "CHATTER" has some excellent points which I agree with. You can read his post here: http://chatterbyrondavis.blogspot.com/
Imus mixes politics with pleasure, and blends being a crass old grouchy bastard with a persona that can make authors best sellers, and help politicians win elections. No doubt the man has influence. No doubt he regrets being busted like he has.

But the outrage is outrageous. There is such a double standard in America that it's almost laughable. Lets look at who is throwing stones...the NAACP - an organization for COLORED people? Isn't that a little racist? What about Black Entertainment Television? Last time I checked, there is NO White Entertainment Television. Are you catching on here?

Yes, I know the examples I've given are extreme one's, but they are pretty good at driving home the point. There is "acceptable" or "PC" racism and then politically-incorrect racism. In the end, Imus will be judged...by his listeners, and his advertisers.

And I agree with Ron, a Dark Day for the world of free speech.
