Don Imus's first WABC charity radio-a-thon's take was disappointing. Half of last year's. NYDN snarks are pointing to Don Ho's "nappy-headed ho" fall from grace. "Not The I-Man He Used To Be." But the good news for Imus is that he's jumped from 8 to 3 in the the new way of measuring audience - the Portable People Meter (PPM).

Marty,
You and Jim are in Radio so you understand numbers better then the listeners:)
This is posted to day by ChannelXRFR on Imus Times David Hinkley works out the PPM and 77WABC and Imus in the Morning comes in 3rd in New York State.
Hinckley also has a column which places the Iman 3rd in morning drive ratings:
People Meter metes out rewards
…Imus, who was No. 8 in the most recent traditional ratings, is No. 3 in PPM, with a 50% higher audience share.

Marty,
So yesterday on Bret Hume on Fox News, Bret Starts going through the list at United Trinity. He states set aside what Obama's Pastor Rev Jeremiah Wright said about his many controversial statements and lets look at Rev Williams who wrote in this statement mentioning Don Imus and Rutgers then stating the Networks were run by Right Wingers who still thought of Blacks as subhuman. (So the Networks are run by Bigots?) The new Pastor Rev Moss stated that it wasn't right that Rev Jeremiah Wright should end his ministry with a Media Lynching, Apparently Rev Moss forgot the Media Lynching of Don Imus there was a May Cover for Talkers Magazine cartoon depicting the Lynching of Imus. Obama can't throw his whole Church under the Bus! He really needs to figure out how he is going to represent himself to the "Average Voter" not his swooning base. Obama stated he believed Imus should be fired and he wouldn't have him working for him. Obama wouldn't disown the Rev Jeremiah Wright he is like an Uncle to me. Who can say what in America? It is pretty clear there is a double standard in a country that prides it self on Free Speech and Freedom of Expression.
Oh The Hudson Blog mentioned if Obama thought what Imus said the soundbyte heard round the world NHH was violent and damaged young girls and women...then what did his own daughter's hear at United Trinity. America's chickens have come home to roost, GDA and the Govt introduced AIDS to kill minorities ect...
Obama's Church Folks are not helping and Obama has been asked by Barbara Walters on the View about his different standards for Imus and Rev Jeremiah Wright. He didn't give an answer.
Marty,
ChannelXRFR posted this too from Media Matters who apparently doesn't like anyone calling our enemies names...or disparaging the people behind a barrell of oil costing what right now 124.00 a barrell. I know imagine Camel Humper might hurt somebody's feeling in a country, where they don't allow free speech. Irony, it doesn't matter- media matters doesn't "GET" irony or satire.
mediamatters still at it;
Imus corrected Dietl’s slur against Arabs: “It’s, uh, ‘camel humpers’ “
Summary: On Imus in the Morning, Richard “Bo” Dietl asked: “Why doesn’t Fredo [President Bush] get on his Air Force One, fly over to Riyadh, get those little hamel humpers over there, sit ‘em down, and say, ‘Look, we got our F-16s –’ ” Don Imus interrupted Dietl and said: “It’s, uh, ‘camel humpers.’ ”

If you read Childress's article about the Black Leadership owes Don Imus an Apology. What he is really referring to is "Eugenics" coming from the Leftist side of the Political Spectrum. It isn't the first time there is a book out about Vermont Eugenics program that was started in the 1930s Breeding better Vermonters, that movement was also from the Left people always associate the Eugenics movement with the Right but truly I think it is origins are in "Facism"
