Pioneering Shock Jock Don Imus Has Died At 79

Disc jockey Don Imus, pictured in 2015, whose career was made and then undone by his acid tongue during a decades-long rise to radio stardom and an abrupt public plunge after a nationally broadcast racial slur, has died.

The broadcaster, who typically wore a cowboy hat, was a pioneer of the radio genre that prized irreverence and caustic wit, and pushed back against political correctness.
