Imus in the Morning
1
Imus' show has sucked for years. . .but he deserved a suspension and not being fired. . .double-standards are definitely at work here. . .but repubs yelling 'political correctness' are forgetting that nothing but good old fashioned American capitalism sacked Imus- if Imus had ratings (which he hasn't for years) then the company would have found a way to keep him. . .if you are offensive but bring in advertising $ you stay employed, if you are offensive but can hit a 98 mph fastball you stay employed. . .the second the advertisers pulled the cash it was lights out. . .the company used PC as a sheild to hide an issue that is far more important in America: the bottom line. Still, there is no avoiding the uncomfortable truth that if he was African-American the punishment would have been less severe or non-existant.
