Stern can say what he wants and it is not subject to government approval.

Yes, the FCC (aka The Government) does regulate what can be broadcast over the radio. The Government regulates many things and that is a whole different issue.




Nice water-down attempt. That is an evasion tactic. We're not talking about any other thing the government is regulating. The FCC regulating airwaves is not a different issue -- it is THE issue as I have made clear already. It's the TOPIC.

Nice straw man attempt too. I never said Howard Stern had a right to work for Clear Channel. I never said forum owners don't have the right to restrict speech on their own property. Your argument is totally obliterated.

The FCC didn't fine ANYBODY for carrying Stern. Don't you read the links I provide?

Now, back to the ISSUE: FCC regulating free speech.

Clear Channel is forced by FCC Regulations to not broadcast "indecent" material. Don't make me prove it; I can and will.

Stay on topic =).[/quote]

1) Please go ahead and prove it instead of ranting some more (it looks like you didn't take the chill-pill reccomendation) and the FCC has always regulated "decency". This is not new nor opposed by most.
