Don Imus: The sun sets on his morning radio show
For fifty years, Don Imus been the flamethrower of morning drive -- a provocateur as outrageous as he's been influential.
"I wasn't trying to be outrageous," he said. "It's just the way I thought. My feeling was then, and is now, that if they didn't like what I did, get somebody else to do it."
And they did. He's been fired at least four times.
Mason asked, "Do you have any regrets?"
"A few. The Rutgers thing I regret."
"What do you regret about it?"
"'Cause I knew better."
The "Rutgers thing" happened in 2007. Imus tossed off a flip, bigoted remark about the women's basketball team ("That's some nappy-headed hos there!") that
lost him his syndicated radio show on CBS, and his TV show on MSNBC.
"It did change my feeling about making fun of some people who didn't deserve to be made fun of, and didn't have a mechanism to defend themselves," he said.

According to journalist
Robert D. McFadden, Imus was admired for his private charity work.
[105] He raised millions for the rehabilitation of wounded veterans of the Iraq war and for children with cancer and siblings of victims of sudden infant death syndrome, who had spent summers since 1999 on his ranch near
Ribera, New Mexico.

Imus Ranch
In 1999, Imus and Deirdre founded the
Imus Ranch, a working 4,000-acre (16 km2) cattle ranch near
Ribera, New Mexico, 50 miles (80 km) southeast of
Santa Fe, for children with
cancer.
[106] The ranch was used as a tax deduction by Imus, and eventually, due to the personal use of the ranch by the Imus family, saw its property tax exemption reduced to 55%.
[107] The ranch was also criticized for the relatively high ratio of cost to each child served, which was over $25,000.
[107] The summer program serving children ended in 2014, after Imus suffered a rib injury in a fall.

as usual you paint a black only perspective. there was more to Imus than a flippant remark about nappy headed hos. butt you wouldn't consider that relevant would you?
if i believed in God i'd call you out for being a hypocrite. and a blasphemer. oh wait .. i just did.
