Conservatives fear that Don Imus is the first casualty in a liberal-led media purge that could force right-wing talkers off the air.
  • Conservatives are right.

    Don Imus was a template for liberals to try to go after conservative talk radio. They could never take down Limbaugh or most of the other major radio host. Mainly because most of them work for radio companies not Mega media companies like Imus. They produce big shares of these radio companies revenues and they will almost never fire them. Plus most of their sponsers are middle size companies. So they will not likely pull advertisements from those shows. Imus was fired more because he work for a mega media company with lot of different sources of income. So they could eat the loss of his show without much pain. Redstone, chair of CBS fired Tom Cruise, or ended their business relationship, because of the thing he said about Brooke Shields and his behavior the last couple of years. So I wasn't surprise by CBS decision to kill the show.
