<title>Women Journalist Take Imus To Task &#8212; Politely</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p><img alt="donimus.gif" src="/fishbowlla/files/original/donimus.gif" width="120" height="120" class="alignleft" hspace="7" />The Stanford-based <a href="http://www.jaws.org/news/2007/imus-slurs.html"><strong>Journalism and Women Symposium</strong></a> (JAWS) this morning joined the <strong>National Association of Black Journalists</strong> in condemning shock-jock <strong>Don Imus&#8217;</strong> lame-ass remarks about <strong>Rutger&#8217;s</strong> women&#8217;s basketball team.</p>
<p>But does JAWS have much bite?</p>
<p>While NABJ is calling for Imus&#8217; <a href="http://www.nabj.org/newsroom/news_releases/story/53029p-81732c.html">nappy head</a>, saying, &#8220;As journalists, we firmly believe in the First Amendment and free speech. But free speech comes with responsibility, and sometimes with consequences. His removal must be that consequence.&#8221;</p>
<p>In contrast, JAWS merely whimpers, &#8220;<strong>MSNBC</strong>, which simulcasts the <em>Imus in the Morning</em> show, and <strong>CBS Radio</strong>, Imus&#8217; employer, should consider stiff disciplinary action. It&#8217;s time to make Imus think before casually spewing more such hurtful invective.&#8221;</p>
<p>Yawn.</p>
<p>No, Imus will never be fired for his remarks. That&#8217;s not the kind of world we live in (for better or worse &#8212; you decide). But what&#8217;s the point of an advocacy group if you&#8217;re not going to get outraged with a capital &#8220;O?&#8221;</p>
<p>[In related news, the award for most-misleading headline goes to the <em>NY Daily News</em> for making us think we were going to learn something about the Purple One with this, <a href="http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/more_sports/2007/04/08/2007-04-08_prince_i_comb_my_hair.html">Prince: I Comb My Hair</a>.]</p>
