The top stories on the news this am were - 1 Imus and his sexually, racist slur of the Rutgers
womens basketball team and 2 - The paternity of the 100 million dollare Danielynn. Give me
a break.
There has to be more important things going on in the world. Even the weather is more
interesting than that crap. Have you ever watched a black standup commedian on TV? They
can make all kinds of racist and sexist remarks and it is ok. The music the teens listen to, especially rap, has all kinds of referrals to race, sex, drugs, killing and anything else to shock
the adult world.
As far as Anna Nicole Smith - she was nothing but a drug addicted, gold digging, slut (pardon
my bluntness). We listened for weeks about who was the baby's father and what happened to
her son. Then she died of a "legal drug overdose." Then it has been weeks of waiting to hear
who the father is. Who cares besides those involved.
Another headliner is Sanjaya. I don't even watch "Idol" but I do know he can't sing and has a
new hairdo every week.
Does anybody care that Imus has a ranch so terminally ill children can have a little fun in
what is left of their lives? I'm not defending what he said, I don't even like his program.
Thanks for letting me vent my frustration with the media.

The good news is none of these stories were in the press here in the UK. The bad news is we have our own version of trivial non-news stories that suck up all the real news. My feeling is though people don't actually want to hear all the news that happens or won't understand it.
Rant On!
Ditto on the rant and the comment. And how come it doesn't make the mainstream news when Christians in Muslim countries are tortured and beheaded? Or women in the same countries are murdered for being a suspected (and not even proven) adulteress? These actions seem far more serious than Imus's words.
