| I thought people here stopped nit-picking people's grammar some time ago.
Personally, I don't think ANYONE is to blame for the existence of Imus on the air. The bottom line is he made money for the networks, and they caved to pressure, thinking they would LOSE money if they kept him. People liked his show, and if his insults didn't turn off the fans, and in turn kill his ratings, the advertisers stayed and everyone concerned made money.
There are many things in our society that turn people off, but they either don't turn ENOUGH people off, or they don't have some pressure group to "champion" their cause. And, in a huge country like this, what you like is almost guaranteed to offend someone else. It's time we as a society either grew some thicker skin or learned to tune out what we don't like, because it's none of our damned business what others like.
Not a day goes by that I don't see something that reinforces my belief that people are idiots. |
