The law of unintended consequences is alive and well a.k.a. the Imus’ events

Days after the actual event many things are coming out that my more liberal friends may not have intended.
· The terrible impact in our Country of the hip hop music industry is getting increased public exposure.
· The rank hypocrisy of Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton is out in public again.
· MSNBC is losing additional income as part of their downward income spiral.
· Advertisers going along with this hypocrisy can expect repercussions in their pocket book.
· Rational black leaders and pundits are getting public exposure that had previously escaped them.
· Imus’s conduct and response is exposing the double standards of most of the media and entertainment industry.
· The Rutgers' news conference was embarrassing to watch.
· The coincidence of timing with the Duke rape scandal story has really exposed the double standard of what is ethically important in media reporting, media management, and university priorities.

And I don’t even watch MSNBC or listen to Don Imus.

No wonder many of the professed offended are going down the tubes, financially speaking. Many of us have been voting with our pocketbooks and viewing habits for years. Others may join.
