Not to say what Imus said was all that great, but I've been getting tired of everyone dodging their own mistakes, from Jesse Jackson to Al Sharpton as well as other without such public showings of their judgmental attitudes. It's not like I need a lengthy explanation or to hear an apology for it, but for others to presume their own innocence when applying stereotypes to race, gender and sexual preferences just doesn't sit well with me.

To add to the whole issue, I've noticed that the biggest portion of the news coverage (and thus, overexposure) seemed to come from NBC. Over the last few days, it's been a part of every other segment of the Today Show - and throughout the network was probably talked about more then the Anna Nicole debacle. It felt insincere to me - as though NBC was just doing so to cover their own asses.

I, too, wonder what the anti-Imus camp has to say about the firings.
