there would be total chaos on the public airwaves for both TV and radio without government regulation. porn and profanity would be everywhere, and you cannot have enough electronic devices to screen the material from children, or from the culture as a whole. what stern does is not political speech.

So the problem isn't so much that you don't like the speech as you don't want anyone else to watch either.

How about this -- I don't decide what you watch or listen to - don't decide for me. For $12 you can purchase this device called a "remote control" at Radio Shack. It is your friend.

....what stern does is not political speech

Well, some of it is. But even if it's not so what? Are you maintaining that the First Amendment is only for political speech?
