Thread Name: BS: Don Imus replacment
Subject: RE: BS: Don Imus replacment
The "...liberal watch-dog group" referred to above is media matters for America. The leader of it was interviewed today on WNYC (Brian Lehrer) and states that the ultra conservites --such as Michael Savage-- call the "gay slander mongering sheet".   As the leader of the group, Paul Waldman, pointed out it is not a matter of left vs right but rather not letting the media devolve into an outlet for all the racism, sexism, and other such matters. He, further, stated that Imus has been doing this for a long time and they have called him and others on these matters. This time he, Imus, just happened to pick the wrong subject----not a politician or some powerful figure that people like to see skewered.

My own feeling---what I earlier---then the parade started and the drum majors with all the skeletons in their own closets got in front of the line.
