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.
Though Professional Bull Rider JB Mauney has been here before, Imus didn’t recall the interview. "It’s like visiting your crazy grandfather at the home," he told Mauney of being a guest on this show. "I can’t remember who was on yesterday."
JB Mauney It’s not a great sign when a wife can’t believe she and her husband have not yet divorced, as Deirdre Imus marveled this morning during the latest installment of Blonde on Blonde with her pal Lis Wiehl.
As the trapped Chilean miners were lifted one by one from the darkness to the light this morning, Imus compared their plight—being stuck in a hot, dark, stinky bunker 2,000 feet underground for months—to that of the Democrats this election cycle.

Sean Hannity Famed writer Elmore Leonard dedicated his latest novel, "Djibouti," to Mike Lupica, Imus’s pal and a revered author in his own right. Seated by his idol’s side today, Lupica described first meeting Leonard back in 1987.
