Years ago I heard this explained. They don't care when they get angry email, as long as you keep watching. It's when no one watches and the emails stop that gets to them. They don't care if the viewers love them or hate them as long as they keep coming back.

Bring back Don Imus! At least one could watch Imus without barfing. n/t RKP5637 Dec 2012 #2

I still get IMUS - and he is as drug-addled as ever - with the same lame posse DrDan Dec 2012 #4

He is definitely a character! n/t RKP5637 Dec 2012 #8

One could? Not this one! Atman Dec 2012 #9

Probably a better name for the show is "Barf in the Morning!" RKP5637 Dec 2012 #11

So, you want to replace a right-wing nut (Joe), with a racist right-wing nut (Imus)? nt. OldDem2012 Dec 2012 #14

Yep, excellent point! Cancel my request! Two right wings don't make a right! n/t RKP5637 Dec 2012 #25

and Mika needs to go with him. And Gene Robinson too. appacom Dec 2012 #7

Yes, Robinson has a speech impediment, but no, he's not intimidated by anyone.... OldDem2012 Dec 2012 #18

There's another option not included. vi5 Dec 2012 #16

Never watched his show... Iggo Dec 2012 #17

why waste time watching a right wing crazy? rurallib Dec 2012 #20

Stop giving them ratings and no, you are not doing "opposition research" TheKentuckian Dec 2012 #22
