Rosie vs Imus: Exposing Media Hypocrisy

So one racist comment will get you suspended, but siding with America’s enemies and accusing your government of murder on national television will not.


That’s the lesson that we learned today as NBC suspended radio shock jock Don Imus for referring to the Rutger’s women’s basketball team as “Some nappy-headed hoes.”

The media outrage over this has been loud and clear. And yet when Rosie had her “ching-chong-ching” moment, when she compared Christians to terrorists, when she accused the British government of faking the kidnapping of its innocent service men and women, when she accused the American government of killing its own citizens, there is a collective, deafening silence from the mainstream media.


It’s not simply due to the fact that racism is the big bad boogieman of the liberal and black establishment which put Imus’s relatively harmless, yet undeniably offensive words, on the media’s radar.

But it’s also due to the fact that NBC, CBS and ABC don’t mind that much if Rosie bashes their country. I’m guessing that many of the execs and higher ups at the big liberal news organizations agree with her. And they should be ashamed.

Rosie’s consistent rhetoric is far more offensive and hurtful than what Imus said.

Imus apologized repeatedly for using a phrase, which is used all of the time by white people with a snicker and a smile, yet was mainstreamed by black hip-hop artists and Hollywood comedies.

Rosie has never apologized, for mainstreaming conspiracy theories and siding with a regime that is actively killing our soldiers during a time of war.

Look at Barbara Walters and Joy Behar, who devoted an entire segment to discussing Imus’s statements, on the View today, while at the same time gushing over how much they missed the still vacationing O’Donnell.

Their hypocrisy is representative of the entire media’s screwed up priorities when it comes to our nation and the danger it faces in the new century.

Racism is like sex these days. It sells. And yet in reality, Imus’s joke and the effect that it has on the black community or anyone who is up in arms over it, is completely insignificant when compared to Rosie and the potential that her comments have to hurt our nation and our fighting men and women in the Middle East. Not to mention those killed in the 9/11 attacks.

This is more proof -as if we needed any- that the mainstream media has simply turned a blind eye to what matters, in favor of a politically correct and increasingly left wing agenda.

So let’s send them a message. Boycott the sponsors listed to the right. Write them and show your displeasure. Write Barbara Walters as well. You can reach her by clicking on the link located a few posts down.


Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson, two individuals who if not given credibility by a sympathetic media, would be a humorous sideshow in our society, got their way on this one. Why shouldn’t we?
