Barry, Howard Stern says offensive stuff every day - he gets away with it because it's his schtick and nobody takes him seriously... I don't think people realize that Imus was the same type of shock jock as Stern in his early radio days...I also think you can't say that type of stuff though when you work for NBC and CBS and they acted appropriately in this case. They can't afford to lose viewers, listeners and sponsors.

With that said I think Al Sharpton is a despicable man...one only need to remember the Tawana Brawley case and just recently the comments he made about NY City police officers involved in the Sean Bell case. Why anyone gives him a platform to speak is amazing to me....it's probably the same reason the media still gives Ann Coulter a platform. It's no longer about reporting the news it's all about making it.
