| The real target is talk radio in general and putting it under even more regulation and self-censorship out of fear. Opie and Anthony have done some excellent shows all week on this and they know what's coming. I really hate it for the political shows who have differing opinions from those paragons of virtue Sharpton and Jackson. Look at what they have said and done over the years with nary a peep of protest. Imus was just right for them to "lynch" a big enough name but not among the top names who are the real targets. I blame the sponsors and the news media. This is a free speech issue but everyone's scared to say so because of the racial element and fear of the PC lynch mobs. > I'm no Imus fan, but this firing is a farce.
