“The idea that NBC…was ‘offended’ by the use of the word ‘ho’ is beyond preposterous. Until [the Imus] incident, I would have wagered very good money that ‘ho’ would be in the title of at least one NBC-produced reality pilot within the next ten years.”
Matt Taibbi in Rolling Stone assessing the hypocrisy of the reaction to Imus. It’s good stuff.
“They’re all full of shit, all of them. With very few exceptions almost everyone who jumped onto the Don Imus pigpile was a shameless opportunist whose mind was made up years before this incident even happened . . .”
