Media & Journalism - April 2007

I hate the media is always report crazy things it talk about nutty celebrity, white trash, and racial slurs. WHO CARE. WHAT THEM SHOULD REPORT IS,WHAT HAPPEN IN IRAN RIGHT NOW, OR THE REST OF THE WORLD, AND WHAT ARE THE WORLDS' FEELING ABOUT US.

When you hear the caustic, derogatory language of people like Chris Rock and the lyrics of hip hop and rap music, how can we justify the reaction to this moron's comment. Are we operating on a double standard?

So this Don Imus Guy made a racist comment. Now since it was about a minority, they are all calling for him to be fired and saying that somebody including the networks he is on need to take responsibility for what he said. Yet on the other hand Rosie can say terrible things and nobody tells ABC to get her off the View. When she said that MAINSTREAM Christians were more dangerous than the Taliban, Civil rights groups and the media weren't lined up trying to take ABC down and get her fired. Same thing with these Duke Lacross players- they had nasty terrible things said about them, Their civil rights were violated and slanderous accusations made, there are no civil rights groups out there protesting what happened to them. This is a huge Double Standard- are select minorities the only people entitled to civil rights protections. Aren't White males and Christians entitled to the same respect? Or are the civil rights groups just as big of bigots as they claim everyone else is?

Why is an off handed joke worthy of a presedential comment?

Just because Imus is old and had no idea what he was getting himself into.

Ok, folks. Help me out here. Why would those young ladies give a damn about what Don Imus said? Why has this become the media storm that it has. I will bet you that most of those girls probably didn't even know who he was before all of this. I don't get it. An old man said something that he thought was hip and funny. The nation explodes. WOW

I would say Kurt Vonnegut contributed much more to society than Anna Nicole Smith and thus deserves a bigger story.

Do not say because they are black because there are plenty of white rappers that use deragatory terms. Jesse Jackson needs to get his *** over to the major record labels and stay there until they pull every CD if this is how it works.

As a shock jock, that is his job! He did it effectively. He also apologized for his distasteful remarks. Perhaps Sharpton and Jackson should get a new hobby!!!!!!!!!!!

There's a big deal being made of this Imus guy calling a mostly black Rutger's women's basketball team "nappy headed hos", and since I not from the U.S.A., this expression is totally lost on me. Can someone please tell me exactly what this means and why is so offensive? Thanks...

I kniow we have heard it before but look at Rap stars-Chris Rock-thousands of example of racist/violent things said for profit -in jest and in a serious context. Remember Andrew Dice Clay -he wasn't allowed to say what other comedians were saying-(he was basically blacklisted)-Imus is a fallguy to make everyone feel good-the same nasty crap will go on.

Why do you think, that the Duke Lacross players, from good families from the upper class of society, feel that they needed to hire two African American strippers to entertain them at a party, where all of them were going to be drinking, or totally intoxicated?

I think everyone should take a chill pill, this has got blowed out of text. I watch his show every am and you can tell he is joking around. When I played basketball I had blacks, whites from other teams make remarks to myself and other team mates and we just laughed it off. Hey, it's just one person opinion. Go Imus, and I will never watch msnbc again. Also let's look at Sharpen and Jackson hateful remarks , dose anyone really care what they say.

Newspapers in English nearly always use the word "percent" or short form "pc" (in titles), but never the percent sign % to describe percentages. This is true even in business or science news. Why? Does it have anything to do with typesetting concerns?

Sharpton called the comments "abominable", "racist", and "sexist" and repeated his earlier demand that Imus be fired.
