I've said the same thing about Imus when people keep saying he's an unimportant shock jock that no one paid attention to beforehand.<BR/><BR/>Senator Joseph Lieberman does. Newsweek writer Howard Fineman does. So do a bunch of other people who regularly went on his show, powerful people, who talked politics and the news of the day.<BR/><BR/>Imus is part of the political conventional wisdom. For that reason, he deserves the scrutiny he's getting.Signal to Noisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18128427529258396556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2988085063383682797.post-57386518494759614212007-04-11T14:25:00.000-07:002007-04-11T14:25:00.000-07:00I think Vivian Stinger said it all when she said i...I think Vivian Stinger said it all when she said it wasn't only about black and white, it's about green, as well. Imus stays on the air because he makes money for the companies he works for. He'll never be fired, but if his show's advertisers start to back out (as some of them are, apparently) that will go a long way in getting him off the air or, at least, to change his tune.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2988085063383682797.post-71416936068819003282007-04-11T11:32:00.000-07:002007-04-11T11:32:00.000-07:00The whole thing with Imus is crazy.

One of the guys over at <A HREF="http://highbridnation.highbrid.com/?p=1723" REL="nofollow">Highbrid Nation</A> who actually worked with Imus at WFAN for years wrote a good article talking about Imus' views on race from the perspective of a minority that was around him every day. You should check it out if you get a chance.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
