Pravda: Imus Taken Down After Threatening to Release 9/11 Secrets

Rosie O’Donnell will probably be repeating this on The View next week:

In a clear sign of its intent to reign in dissident American media personalities, and their growing influence in American culture, US War Leaders this past week launched an unprecedented attack upon one of their most politically ‘connected’, and legendary, radio hosts named Don Imus after his threats to release information relating to the September 11, 2001 attacks upon that country.

According to European reports of the events surrounding Don Imus that have gripped the United States this past week, it was during an interview with another American media personality, Tim Russert, who is the host of a television programme frequently used by US War Leaders, wherein while decrying the state of care being given to American War wounded stated, “So those bastards want to keep these boys [in reference to US Soldiers] secret? Let’s see how they like it if I start talking about their [in reference to US War Leaders] secrets, starting with 9/11.”

Unable to attack such a powerful media figure as Don Imus, directly, the US War Leaders, and as we have seen many times before, resorted to a massive media attack against him using as the reason a racial slur against a US woman’s basketball team, but which has been pointed out by other media outlets was not by any means a rare occurrence for the legendary radio icon to make.

I’m not sure which angle is funnier. The idea that Don Imus possess secrets related to 9/11 is pretty amusing but so is the idea of him being a “powerful media figure” who can impose his will on our government. MSNBC and influence (of any kind) seem sort of mutually exclusive to me. An abundance of stories like this is why people should only read Pravda for laughs. Well, laughs and keeping up with important stories like the dwarfish russian porn star who knows how to entertain herself.
