Mr McKay,

This is slightly related to the discussion there is buzz that GE is going to sell off NBCU, the article came out on the June 15th. I have long proposed that if GE sold off at least MSNBC that the network could be restructured,reorganized and rebranded then it could comeback to compete in the market place…I do believe the entity Media Matters and it’s apparent influence on MSNBC had to do with MSNBC’S latest problems…I have said of MSNBC, if you lay down with dogs, you will get up with fleas.

I had held out the smallest of hopes that if MSNBC fired the management the talent could comeback. Looks now like that isn’t going to happen.

When Imus comes back -resurfaces it is anyones guess where. D.L.Hughley is under fire by the Black Leadership this time, they protested his show down in Ft Worth…they wanted him to apologize, he won’t and he won’t retract his statement he made on tonight show, after Don Imus was fired. I think D.L.Hughley will show them up for Paper Tigers…I have been watching following the opponents of Imus, ever since he was fired…this would be the 3rd time they targeted someone. The first when Imus was fired 2nd when Bernard McGuirk tried to guest host up in Boston for 3 days and now D.L. Hughley. I have been trying to figure out how far this group’s influence spread…it appears it doesn’t have the same influence down in Texas and I am not suprized. D.L.Hughley is a proponent of Free Speech, he stated it is a sum zero with him. I believe the only thing the protest of his show did was show that these people only have power over the media if you let them. The discussion was highjacked from the beginning this isn’t about Race it is about Free Speech…these self appointed Moral’s Police don’t seem to think they have any serious opponents to their agenda.

Love ‘fakeimus’ and ‘fakemccord’! I’ve got to have something to read and laugh at during these long days of summer without our ‘Imus in the Morning’!

Oh thank you, for the link to Fake Imus, that is just what Imus fans sound like. I have so been missing the humor. When this started I commented, if I wanted to wake up to a grumpy old man in the morning, these days, I had to kick my husband out of bed…and he was starting to get sore about it (GRIN)

Mr. McKay,

I received a very disturbing email purporting to be from you regarding the "Fake Don Imus".

Can you clear this up please. I believe it is not you but need something that you can relate to this situation.

Thanking you in Advance,
Bruce from Florida
