After a 30 years in radio, it only took 6 days for Don Imus's career to collapse. When the CBS shock jock, in an offhand comment, called the Rutgers women’s basketball team “nappy-headed hos,” he set off a raging debate over race and gender in America. After a week of apologies which some called kowtowing, Imus lost his job first with MSNBC and then with CBS. Talks of a comeback, possibly on satellite radio, abound.http://www.newser.com/2008 - Newseren-usNewser Feed GeneratorThu, 20 Nov 2008 3:47:41 CSThttp://www.newser.com/story/30747/i-was-being-sarcastic-not-racist-imus.html?refid=rss_all_defaultDon Imus was just making a “sarcastic point” when he asked “what color” oft-arrested cornerback Adam “Pacman” Jones is, he said on his show today. When informed that Jones was black, Imus replied, “There you go. Now we know.” The rejoinder sparked complaints against the reformed shock jock, but Imus says he was sympathizing with Jones. “I meant that he was being picked on because he's black,” Imus said.http://www.newser.com/story/30747/i-was-being-sarcastic-not-racist-imus.html?refid=rss_all_defaultTue, 24 Jun 2008 6:22:13 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/30720/imus-reinserts-foot-in-mouth.html?refid=rss_all_defaultDon Imus may have stepped in it again, Politico reports. While bantering on this morning's show about Adam "Pacman" Jones, who’s been arrested six times in his NFL career, the scandal-shadowed shock jock asked, “What color is he?” A sidekick dutifully informed him that Jones is African-American. “Well, there you go,” Imus said. “Now we know.”http://www.newser.com/story/30720/imus-reinserts-foot-in-mouth.html?refid=rss_all_defaultMon, 23 Jun 2008 12:13:55 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/18053/imus-bounces-back-after-scandal.html?refid=rss_all_defaultThe once-axed radio host Don Imus has re-emerged on the airwaves largely unscathed by his racially and sexually disparaging remarks about Rutgers' female hoop stars, the New York Times reports. Both advertisers and call-in guests—including John Kerry, Doris Kearns Goodwin, Rudy Giuliani, John McCain and Mike Huckabee—have nearly tripped over one another to return to his program since it was resurrected in December.http://www.newser.com/story/18053/imus-bounces-back-after-scandal.html?refid=rss_all_defaultSun, 03 Feb 2008 3:20:12 CSThttp://www.newser.com/story/13277/muslims-see-hypocrisy-on-hate-speech.html?refid=rss_all_defaultAfter radio host Michael Savage took potshots at Islam, the relatively muted response has left Muslim Americans with a question: Where's the outrage? A handful of advertisers have pulled out, but the reaction is nowhere near as strong as it was, say, when Don Imus made an anti-black slur, the Christian Science Monitor notes. Savage is not alone voicing anti-Muslim sentiments, and many see a double standard at play.http://www.newser.com/story/13277/muslims-see-hypocrisy-on-hate-speech.html?refid=rss_all_defaultTue, 04 Dec 2007 10:12:16 CSThttp://www.newser.com/story/13163/contrite-imus-returns-to-air.html?refid=rss_all_defaultDon Imus was broadcasting again this morning, eight months after being fired for calling the Rutgers women’s basketball team you-know-whats. His new cast sports two black comedians, and while Imus promised not to joke about racism, other than that “not much has changed,” he said. “Dick Cheney is still a war criminal, Hillary Clinton is still Satan, and I'm back on the radio.” The guest roster included Imus vets John McCain and Chris Dodd.http://www.newser.com/story/13163/contrite-imus-returns-to-air.html?refid=rss_all_defaultMon, 03 Dec 2007 7:29:52 CSThttp://www.newser.com/story/10793/imus-will-return-to-airwaves.html?refid=rss_all_defaultDon Imus, the radio host taken off the air in April after referring to the Rutgers women's basketball team as "nappy-headed hos," will be back on the air Dec. 3 on a New York radio station. The New York Post reports Imus has signed a five-year deal that will net him as much as $8 million annually.http://www.newser.com/story/10793/imus-will-return-to-airwaves.html?refid=rss_all_defaultThu, 01 Nov 2007 16:42:10 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/9975/is-national-discourse-too-darn-crass.html?refid=rss_all_defaultShock jock Don Imus is coming back, but humbled; Ann Coulter got press for anti-Semitism, but lost support; could this be a backlash against crass punditry? Hardly, say the experts, but some see rays of hope. "We're caught right now between extreme political correctness on one end and crude, hateful incivility on the other," says a journalism teacher. "We need moderation—thoughtful behavior and expression."http://www.newser.com/story/9975/is-national-discourse-too-darn-crass.html?refid=rss_all_defaultSun, 21 Oct 2007 16:29:41 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/8948/the-i-man-cometh.html?refid=rss_all_defaultDon Imus is on the comeback trail. Six months after a racially insensitive quip got him fired, Imus is close to a deal that would give him a nationally syndicated radio show on major New York station WABC, the Washington Post reports. Barring a last-minute snag, Citadel Broadcasting, owner of 243 stations, would pay Imus millions for a December return.http://www.newser.com/story/8948/the-i-man-cometh.html?refid=rss_all_defaultSat, 06 Oct 2007 10:46:19 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/5862/rutgers-player-sues-imus-over-insults.html?refid=rss_all_defaultOne of the Rutgers basketball players radio host Don Imus referred to as "nappy-headed hos" is suing the shock jock for libel, slander, defamation, and violation of her civil rights, among other charges.
