For those who haven't heard about the three, Duke lacrosse, team members accused of raping a black woman, they were recently found innocent of the rape charges. This is not the aspect I am going to focus on, however. With every injustice, there seems to be the King/Queen Justice there to condemn all those, who think otherwise, to hell. In this case, the Queen Justice was Nancy Grace.
Explanations will follow after you watch this: (trust me, it's worth it and very applicable to the recent events related to Imus)
For those that didn't want to watch it because you hate/don't trust me, it is a video clip of someone who actually SHOULD make an apology, get fired, impaled, and left rotting over a big bridge as an example.
It is a clip of Nancy Grace accusing the three lacrosse team members of rape, on unfounded evidence and just good old-fashioned Campbell's stupidity, literally making those poor college students' lives a living hell. All she did, on her show, was rant incessantly and boldly because "the victim is always right". What ended up happening the day after when they were found innocent was that she had someone SUBSTITUE HOST for her. That meant she had too much pride to at least apologize for her inane behavior.
So how does this relate to Imus? If you haven't found the parallel yet, allow me to connect the proverbial dots for you. Imus was in a different situation where he didn't have to apologize, but he did. And he got fired for it. If Nancy Grace doesn't get fired for causing distress (being accused of rape is some serious fandango), then I will call sexism into play. The door swings both ways.
