Don Imus, the REAL story

Once again are the mainstream media refuted through crusading on-line journalism. The web version of Pravda, cracking the coverup, has discovered the real reason Don Imus was fired:

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.

The "U.S. War Leaders," who apparently include among their number Les Moonves, Jeff Zuckerman, Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson, knew they were "unable to attack such a powerful media figure as Don Imus, directly," Pravda reports. So they,

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.

Here's the full stunning story, packaged together with a 15-year-old bikini shot of "Daisy Fuentes, hot-blooded actress and model from Cuba," as multiculturally minded Pravda puts it. Man, do I miss the Cold War.

That's pure comedy gold. When did the Onion start publishing in Pravda?

Also note how Rush argued yesterday that Hillary had Imus fired simply for criticizing her campaign:
