Is Imus the standard for media self censorship?

the advertisers are a bunch of cowards.

 

I want to throw fenen's name into the ring for new leader of the black community

 

... meanwhile, the duke accuser walks on in the eyes of the big media today.

 

lmao

 

if you lose your job because of what you said, you're censored.

 

Here's the thing with the advertisers.....

Let's say Imus is back on air Monday-

Staples, AMEX, GM, Nextel, and Proctor-Gamble go back on to advertise as well-

Al and Jesse start to picket these companies-

How much revenue will they really lose because of this? Not nearly as much as you think......

These companies make more money advertising on Imus than if they don't.

 

Are the advertisers "cowards," or are they making a financial decision?

I would argue most companies like Proctor and Gamble want to project a "wholesome" image and generally like to steer clear of controversy.

Sprint Nextel? I don't know if you've noticed, but a lot of black people have cell phones. Does it make smart business sense for them to continue to advertise on Imus?

Just askin'.

Money, folks, money. That's what it's all about.

 

For as many people who don't like Imus, millions will hold Sprint, etc.....under the gun for pulling their ads.

 

How do you explain why national companies are still supporting the Masters?
