Imus was fired for making a stupid comment. He agreed and apologized endlessly. He had to settle his contract with CBS before he was hired by ABC. Until that was settled, he was off air but still working for CBS.
The reason ABC hired him is because he is a proven commodity and revenue generator.
Who are you two knuckleheads to say what a private corporation who is beholden only to their shareholders what they pay whom? "Say the wrong things in America"? Who the heck are you to say what is "the wrong thing"? What happened to free speech?
You know what. You have to realize that that's how a lot of Americans think. And you have to give room for those people. There will always be a population of ignorant people in a country as big as ours.
That's the problem with people. Nobody is ever accountable for what they did. Blame it on Sharpton, and overreaction, and suddenly everything is ok. That's what gives liberals a bad name.
I think Imus job position puts him at a high standard than the other two. Imus holds a broadcast position and people in those positions are suppose to be unbiased in their reports. Do I think there was an over reaction to the Imus situation? Yes. But I wouldn't put Imus in the same shoes as Chris Rock and Sarah Silverman because those two are commedians of the lower standard.
racy is racy. whether its a black guy from brooklynn or a rich redneck in a cowboy hat or a jewish girl. whatever floats your boat. They never shouldv made such a big deal out of one sentence. Thats the problem. Its not Imus, /hes mostly irrelevant. It's the guilt complex we've been raised on.

he's not a news anchor. He's a tv personality. I'd put Chris Rock above Imus anyday cuz Rock is better at being racy without being offensive.

I was actually making fun of the conservatives. That's the thing they always bitch about with liberals, and they do the same damn things.
