Media mania in a MultiCultClassics Monologue…
• Shock jock Don Imus is not only returning to radio, but he’ll also be broadcast on cable via RFD-TV. Imus will probably run alongside Dog the Bounty Hunter and the Michael Richards Show.
• Judith Regan, the former publisher who promoted O. J. Simpson’s “If I Did It” book, filed a $100 million defamation lawsuit against Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp. Regan claims she was asked to fib to federal investigators to support Rudolph Giuliani’s presidential bid; plus, she was the victim of a “smear campaign” following her involvement with Simpson’s memoir. If Regan wins her lawsuit, Simpson will probably kill her.
• A new study by the Pew Research Center shows more Blacks believe they’re worse off than five years ago and are pessimistic about racial progress. Blame it on O.J. Simpson, Michael Jackson and Stan O’Neal—Michael Vick too.
• T.I. is confident he won’t be convicted on federal weapons charges. In an online video, the rapper said, “I look forward to being exonerated on all charges… and I say that with the utmost sincerity.” Guess not all Blacks are pessimistic about the future.
Yikes. Can't we just embalm Imus now and be done with it?
