[em]Daily News[/em] Floods the Zone on Imus

The Daily News, like most of the media, has gone completely overboard on the Imus/ Rutgers basketball story. Today in the News alone, there were six pieces: news stories on both the press conference and the advertising angle; columns by Mike Lupica, Errol Lewis, and Filip Bondy; and an editorial! (The Times clocked in with four separate items, while the Post had three). Covering the players' response, the News employed four reporters, whereas Rutgers Daily Targum used just one. Comparatively, there was the Rutgers Medium's (typically un-PC) take on the matter, here. --Michael Calderone
