Shock jock in trouble



Link


Don Imus, a shock jock who's written about in my Intro. to Mass Communication textbook (chapter on "Radio), finds himself in the national news--bigtime.

But it's not the kind of coverage he covets.

Read about what Imus recently said about the Rutgers Univ. women's basketball team; as a result of that verbiage, advertisers are bailing out of his show, and African-American leaders such as the Rev. Al Sharpton and the Rev. Jesse Jackson are calling for his job.

I've never been a big fan of Imus. Even shock jocks best know there's a line they cannot and should not cross.

Read all about it in the link above.
