The Imus story continues

MSNBC dumped his show last night over the racial slurs. What will CBS do? (Pic credit: Spencer Platt, Getty Images, through AOL News)

I can't believe it was taken to this level. It shows that these media outlets care more about pressure from political figures and audience ratings than free speech. Imus make have been in the wrong with his comments, but his career has been built on pushing the envelope.

I have a feeling that his ratings will now go through the roof, and I wouldn't be surprised if he gets picked up elsewhere for a $50 million contract. The publicity might be cruel now, but for those who have never heard Imus before will soon be tuning in to see what he says next. It reminds me of the Kate Moss situation where her drug use had her dropped by numerous clients but her star power went up and she is now making somewhere need double her previous salary.

I guess good luck to Imus and power to those who get knocked down only to be twice the figure they were before.
