Imus Firing Exception, Rather Than Rule
Interview with Steve Rendall,
The firing of radio shock jock Don Imus, for his racial and misogynist verbal attack on members of Rutger's women's basketball team has been a hot topic of conversation on media outlets across the U.S. Imus had broadcast his racial slurs against the Rutgers team on April 4, and was initially suspended by CBS Radio for only 2 weeks. But after press reports on April 11 that General Motors, American Express, Sprint Nextel, and other advertisers were pulling their sponsorship of the Imus show, MSNBC dropped their simulcast of the program. The next day CBS announced that they too had decided to fire Don Imus. For many years, a parade of powerful Washington insiders had lined up to get exposure on the Imus show. But few of the Democratic and Republican politicians, journalists and authors who appeared on the show challenged the host's frequent use of racial slurs and hateful insults. In the wake of the fall of Don Imus, there's new scrutiny on the hate speech broadcast by dozens of other mostly right-wing radio talk show hosts who regularly cross the line in their verbal assaults targeting minority groups, women and foreigners. Between the Lines' Scott Harris spoke Steve Rendall, senior analyst with the media watch group Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting. He reviews Don Imus' on air-record and the responsibility of giant media corporations who often turn a blind eye to practitioners of hate speech until it affects their bottom line.
