For once, give the guy the benefit of the doubt.

Tell the whole story, not the suited clip to push your story.

I’m talking, of course, about radio talk show host Don Imus and remarks he made about suspended Dallas Cowboys cornerback Adam Jones.

When he inquired about the former player’s recent sixth arrest, and asked his sports guy, Warner Wolf what race he was, Imus knew the answer already.

“There you go,” he said. “Now we know.”

Well, I guess we don’t know. Because no sooner had Imus said it, than the media was all over it.

Without a one of them bothering to look into it. Or the context of it.

I’m biased, I like Imus. But here’s what I don’t like:

Judging a guy and assuming the worst, even though any half-regular listener of his show would know he has complained often and loudly about what he considers to be the unfair treatment of blacks….and in this case, a young man repeatedly arrested for no other reason, Imus said, than he was black.
