Well, I know this story is getting a little long in the tooth and you are likely all sick of my ranting about the media in the Virginia Tech shootings, but I think that it is important that something be done about this. Even if it is nothing more than a wasted effort I think that we must at least try to do something to make media realize that the way it behaved when it released Cho’s rant is inexcusable. When you couple that with the fact that it was NBC News and their President Steve Capus that ultimately made the decision to air that nutcase’s manifesto it becomes even less forgivable. Wasn’t he the sanctimonious preacher taking to the air to let the world know that HE was doing the right thing by firing Imus for his “hate” speech? He should be fired, and I might suggest that they have Donald Trump do it so that they can milk it for all it’s worth. Capus should appreciate that, he’s managed to whore multiple stories in a matter of weeks. Why not make the sacrifice for the team?

Honestly K,
I have absolutely no probem with Imus. He was speaking his mind. If he wants to talk about the black community then thats fine. America is built on freedom of speech! So why can’t we talk about nappy hoes, they portray in their music? I’m white and don’t take any offense against me. For example: The Nick Cannon show aka “Short Circuit” on MTV. He talks about white people always being happy and liking cottage cheese. It’s a perfect for comparison. Individuals ned to unnderstand there is so much diversity in this country that it should be acceptable.
