Media Steers IMUS Controversy Away From Limbaugh, Coulter,Beck,Savage Etc
Beyond Al Franken mentioning Glenn Beck on The Larry King Show in regard to the Imus affair, there seems to be no media discussion of the despicable racist and sexist blather coming from AM hate radio and right wing cable news personalities.

It is remarkably obvious that the word came down that the Imus Affair must ONLY be related to rap music. There has also been a linkage to the Duke rape case as a way to attack Sharpton. After hundreds of hours of discussion about the Imus affair one would think that Limbaugh and his many clones would be mentioned.

2. Where are you getting your news for this?
MSNBC has talked about Coulter and Savage today and what they say.

3. Funny you should mention that....
I have to watch CNBC for my job, don't ask, and RW gasbag Hugh Hewitt was on to offer some insight(?) on the Imus firing, and he actually said that he and his friends, Dennis Prager, Laura Ingraham, Michael Medved, and Rush Limbaugh never cross that line like Imus did. Did the CNBC ventriloquist dummy offer any rebuttal along the lines of, "Yeah, you can count how many times Imus crossed the line?" That's right, of course not!

4. I think this whole deal was more related to keeping the media
occupied covering this and not covering the subpeona issue or the millions of emails missing and destruction of evidence.
