Stern
Howard Stern is sure Bush Behind Effort to ‘Fire’ Him. I guess he has to blame someone since Howard is not to blame. No, it is not Howards fault the show is openly filthy in it’s content. It’s not Howards fault that at one time 70 stations carried his show and that count is now down to 34. Only 6 Clear Channel stations carried Stern when Clear Channel axed the program from their lineup.
But it’s all President Bush’s fault.
The conservative and libertarian talking-heads crying “censorship”, Rush Limbaugh and Neal Boortz, can eat cake. They decry the decadency of the US media and Hollywood yet defend Stern? Free speach is jeapordized by not allowing sexually explicit discussions over or open nudity on the public airwaves?
Public discourse is in no way “threatened” by maintaining rules concerning openly or thinly veiled vulgarity. These rules are not new but because of 8 years of open indecency and immorality at the highest levels of the US Govn’t the rules were ignored and openly flaunted.
