Imus Gets Fired From MSNBC, Suddenly Liberals Think He’s A Conservative
NBC’s move was applauded by Media Matters for America, the liberal media watchdog group that first spotlighted Imus’ remark last week.
“By canceling their simulcast of Don Imus on MSNBC, the National Broadcasting Co. has finally done the right thing,” the group’s president, David Brock, said. “We hope CBS Radio will again follow NBC’s lead.
“More and more Americans are coming to understand the damage done by major news organizations providing a platform for bigoted commentary and other conservative misinformation, and they are demanding change. MSNBC’s decision is an important step in the right direction.”
Apparently, to some, being bigoted means you’re a conservative. Whatever.
What’s funny is Brock’s insistence that America is “demanding” less conservative “misinformation.” Last time I checked, conservatives still dominated talk radio, Fox News still dominated cable news, the Wall Street Journal was the only paper with a profitable online section and the New York Post was still the only newspaper in America with growing circulation numbers.
The media is still dominated by liberals, no doubt about it, but the thirst for conservative-leaning media isn’t decreasing. If anything, it’s increasing.
