Should the addlepated radio host lose his job because he called the Rutgers women's basketball team "nappy-headed hos"?
  • Steve Harvey is the No 1 radio show for ratings; Nice =ratings

    His audience FAR outstrips Imus for listeners. Imus is 14th according to most ratings.

    The latest Arbitron ratings show Harvey's morning show as No. 1 among urban stations and No. 5 overall in the nation's largest and most competitive radio market. His audience more than doubled Opie & Anthony's, and far outnumbered Imus'.

    Harvey isn't mean, racist, or dirty. He has gospel music, etc. And he is actually FUNNY.

    This says it all about who pushes rap, by the way.

    The Cleveland native, while best known for his stand-up and television work, also is a radio veteran. He hosted a show in Chicago and did five years in Los Angeles at KKBT-FM, where he battled with management over his refusal to play rap with offensive lyrics and his insistence on playing a daily gospel song.

    Yet who does the media always report on? The vicious ones, not the Harveys.
