why arent they publishing or airing those supporting IMUS?

Question

and those gals on the b-team did look they were from the ghetto

Answer 1

because no one likes the old haggardy man

Answer 2

THe reason Imus's sponsors are pulling out and white people do not talk about it is because we are scared. We're scared of blacks. I would love to see how much Afro-America actually contributes to the economy and based on those ratios, come up with a relevance factor. In other words, if you do not work and contribute to society, youi have no right to complain about it. Simple.

Answer 3

Because it's not politically correct. It's a shame though. The guy made a mistake. People make mistakes. Reverend Al and Jessie Jackson are just looking for a villian.

It almost makes me laugh, because these guys are "Wanna-bes". Times today are not like they were during the times of Dr. King, Malcom X, and Ghandi. The problem of civil rights, though it still exists, it's not anyplace on the same scale as it was for those men. I think part of Sharpton and Jackson's mentality is that they want a big famous bad guy as their arch enemy.

I think if they truely want to end racial prejudice, they would preach togetherness just like Dr. King and Ghandi before them. They would focus their time there, rather than making a media cyclone out of one guy making a mistake. Both are suppossed to be men of god, they should know that "To err is human, to forgive is divine."

Answer 4

I know that John McCain has been given air time and he is supporting Imus. Rosie O'Donnel came out for him citing freedom of speech. I've heard many, many people publicly supporting him and saying he shouldn't be fired. Maybe you're only listening to one side of the story.

Answer 5

Actaully Rosie O'Donnell defended him the other day on the view, and Bill Mayher defended him last night( he was also fired from a network). That's it though. I support IMUS all the way!

Answer 6

I support Imus and I also think the lap dogs who made a big deal out of this should be shot on MSNBC at high noon. Imus is a comedian, a SHOCK JOCK< HELLOOOOOOOOO! What part of ridiculous doesn't some of this Lap Dog Media not understand?

Answer 7

Because this is not about supporting IMUS. It's about an employer's right to fire. "Imus is being paid to talk, and he is doing it on private company time, and what he says reflects on the company that pays him. Thus, when he says something boneheaded like he did, in the mainstream media where everyone could hear, he is going to get punished for it. It has nothing to do with free speech. It has to do with his representation of the media company that is paying him. He made them look bad, and they took appropriate action." Compliments of Mr. Taco.

Answer 8

It should have stopped with an apology and having him cleanup his act, instead every station has broadcast it so it has spread all over the air ways. I support the girls team. Where was the coverage all the time they were having such a great season?

Answer 9

If Sharpton called the token white girl on the team a cracker he wouldn't be fired and he would get away with it. It's always a double standard when it comes to Black & White. White's are always the racists and Black's are always the victims. You can't say I'm wrong.

Answer 10

This is an example of unfair and imbalanced journalism.. they definitely should cover both sides, otherwise it seems like there is a certain bias...and I thought people in the news industry were obligated not to express any form of preference.

Answer 11

Ive been wondering the same thing!!!! I tried to look up places to email and didnt have much luck. But thats exactly right,,, I dont believe they want us to be heard so were not being given the opportunity to have any say!
