You're Shocked?
The good Roger Ailes is outraged that prominent media critic Howard Kurtz would admit he and his pals were part of the problem in enabling Don Imus's career in racial crudity and thus to our not-yet enlightened dialogue about race in this country. I, however, remember when Howard Kurtz blamed the Jayson Blair scandal purely on affirmative action and wondering if a similar white person would have gotten away with so much. And this was during the time when he and most of his media ilk have ignored the very structural problems that has led this country to a destructive and useless war. If that isn't an example of white know-nothingism that has led to the success of the likes of Don Imus, I don't know what is.
