Why is Don Imus still employed?

Question

i mean once, ok slip up, but he's obviously a racist, and needs to be fired...again

Answer 1

Here in Dallas, the morning sports crew said that the previous segment on Imus’ show was about racial profiling and how some African Americans are unfairly treated by law enforcement officials because of their race. Given this context, those comments most certainly are sarcastic remarks aimed at the racist behavior of police officers in some towns and cities.

Answer 2

Imus fills a crucial niche in American culture, that ambiguous place where a person can sling racist insults then turn around ans get off the hook because he does some charity work with black kids.

Answer 3

Anything to get attention, even bad press is considered good.

He disgusts me.

Answer 4

1) Because people want to listen to him.

2) There is such a thing as freedom of speech. h**l Rev. Wright kept his job and he spewed more hate than Adolph Hitler.

Answer 5

because he's an idiot who can't keep his mouth shut

Answer 6

His management is buying his story and people (not me) still listen to him
