“Blacks did this.”

Howlin, I know you’re smarter than that. Trust me, CBS listened to the advertisers of the show on this one. Once General Motors and Proctor & Gamble dropped Imus, I knew he was done. Remember too that Sharpton and Jesse do NOT represent all of black America.

Remember likewise the many people sportscasters who have been fired for saying far less offensive than Imus. Remember Rush being fired from ESPN?

ESPN exists to hype professional sports. ESPN and professional sports live off one another. I would not call what ESPN does journalism.
