There's no censorship is Imus is banned from radio as long as it is not government mandated. If the individual station owners simply decide to ban him, it is their right to do so and it is perfectly legal and constitutional.

But should they? I don't know or care. It's up to them.

What I don't get is why Imus even apologized at all. Why? He's never apologized before. I listened to one of his shows and it was appalling. This was several years ago. I heard several comments that I couldn't believe no one complained about. Now all the sudden he's humble and apologetic.

Maybe his station came down on him but they'd only do that if he wasn't garnering a listenership. But I would think they'd just cancel his show instead trying to turn into the Mr. Humility Show.

Maybe all his years of pandering to a racist audience (I can't imagine who else would listen to it on a constant basis) caught up to him. I don't know.
