Why Don Imus? There are racists all over the media

airamericaradio asked:

Neal Boortz, Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Ann Coulter, and Michael Savage prove that racism, sexism and bigotry exist in our media on a daily basis. Why isn’t there the outrage over their comments? Why aren’t they fired? Why Imus?
