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.
When a segment of Blonde on Blonde begins with the I-Man dinging his bell (literally), Deirdre Imus and Lis Wiehl know it’s going to be an interesting 15 minutes. "Good morning," they greeted each other, quickly adding, "I think."
Before former Navy SEAL Eric Greitens was deployed to Afghanistan, Southeast Asia, the Horn of Africa, and Iraq during the War on Terror, he did humanitarian work in Bosnia, Rwanda, and Cambodia. Which basically means that Greitens, author of "The Heart and The Fist," is really good at making other people feel like slackers.
Eric Greitens Following an extended introduction in which he noted their myriad literary accomplishments, Imus welcomed Mary Higgins Clark, whose latest novel is "I’ll Walk Alone," and her daughter Carol Higgins Clark, the author, most recently, of "Mobbed," to his program.
Weenie that he is, Alan Colmes divulged today that during commercial breaks Imus engages in games of Angry Birds on his iPad. But Colmes was inaccurate. "I either do that, or I play chess," Imus clarified. "I’m not very good at Angry Birds."
Alan Colmes As the result of reaching a busy signal for a few minutes, Senator Joe Lieberman phoned late this morning, though he said he didn’t take the affront personally. That is, until Imus informed him, "You should have."
