Children’s Health Defense joins parents of vaccine-injured children and advocates for health freedom in remembering the life of Don Imus, a media maverick in taking on uncomfortable topics that most in the mainstream press avoid or shut down altogether. His commitment to airing all sides of controversial issues became apparent to the autism community in 2005 and 2006 as the Combating Autism Act (CAA) was being discussed in Congress. The Act, which was ultimately signed into law by George W. Bush in December of 2006, created unprecedented friction among parents of vaccine-injured children and members of Congress; parents insisted that part of the bill’s billion-dollar funding be directed towards environmental causes of autism including vaccines, while most U.S. Senators and Representatives tried to sweep any such connections under the rug.

Don Imus Leaves a Trail of Way More Than Dust
By Michael Riedel - The one and only time I had a twinge of nerves before appearing on television was when I made my debut in 2011 on “Imus in the Morning” on the Fox Business Channel. I’d been listening to Don Imus, who died Friday at 79, since the 1990s as an antidote the serious (bordering on the pompous) hosts on National Public Radio. I always thought it would be fun to join Imus and his gang — news anchor Charles McCord, producer Bernard McGuirk, comedian Rob Bartlett — in the studio, flinging insults back and forth at one another. And now I had my chance. I was invited on to discuss to discuss “Spider-Man, Turn Off the Dark,” the catastrophic Broadway musical that injured cast members daily.
Mike Lupica said Adam Silver was tremendous yesterday is his press conference announcing Donald Sterling’s lifetime ban. Lupica said to Silver’s credit, he didn’t try to go back and prosecute the past, but to address the incident at hand.
Mike Lupica Today’s blonde on blonde covered innocent inmates, a study suggesting wives of men with big penises are more likely to cheat, and miracles. They then talked about Donald Sterling’s history of racism and why the NBA didn’t do anything until now.
Imus and Begala talked about a letter Paul and the Clinton camp sent Imus declining an invitation for Clinton to come on the program. Paul said the press got it wrong - the letter was sent to Imus and he remembers having Clinton sign it personally!
Paul Begala Joe Tacopina said Congressman Michael Grimm wasn’t charged with anything related to campaign finance, but instead he was charged with regards to his restaurant and essentially having two different sets of books.
Joe Tacopina Talking about Paul Simon and wife Edie Brickell’s domestic dispute, Riedel said she should pick up on someone her own size! Dagen then said she’d rather spend a day at the gynecologist with the entire Kardashian family than watch the View reunion.
