- How the media blew up Don Imus' quote "nappy headed hoes".
- The media, mainly ESPN focused on the quote and the man who said it more than the story itself. ESPN is a sports channel and they barely reported that the quote was describing the women playing in the national championship game.
- Quote is without question out of line, but Imus is a shock jock, its what he does.
- Many shock jocks say outragous things simply to get airtime.
- Rush Limbaugh said racial comments on tv and continued to have a successful radio career.
- Wendy Williams says most outragous comments and career has benefited from it
- Shaquille Oneil made fun of Yao Ming using racial slurs and there were no problems
- Media got him fired, NAACP and other organizations raised concern and then decision was made
