The American people are strong (most of them) and will defy this attempt, and good will win out in the end. I do not like Imus, but he should not have been fired for his offensive comments, just like the "justice brothers" Sharpton and Jackson should not be censored from their race baiting. Let the free market decide, as it is usually right to leave these decisions in the hands of the American people, who are much wiser than the so-called mainstream media gives them credit for. Yesterday was a bad day for free speech in America.

interesting....
Is don imus a liberal? I honestly don't know -- i've never listened to two minutes of his show.
I understand that the CBS' decision to can Imus occured sometime after the 'nappy headed ho' remark, but the timing was remarkably coincident with the decision of major advertisers to pull ads. If it is the case that CBS canned Imus because they were about to lose some big advertising revenue, is this not a case where the free market has decided?
