Nepotism is alive and well in Washington D.C.

Try world wide.

Ronn Owens is a liberal that calls himself moderate. Nevertheless, he has a good show, and frequently has great guests. Today was one of those days.

Powell was an excellent guest, and although he was somewhat blindsided by the Stern call, he handled himself very well.

It's not accurate to say it's actually true, but it's apparent.

So, nepotism is the sole reason for Stern's fines? What a lame personal attack! It's precisely what the left says of George W. Bush, and yet it completely discounts the difficulty in becoming elected.

Sounds as though Michael Powell did an excellent job countering Howard Stern, especially his point being that the fines can be contested in a court of law.

Unfortunately, I'm already in New York...

The only bridge I want to buy is one that leaves this worker's paradise (as soon as my little one finishes school).

I believe you just asked questions you already know the answer to. Clever but well known debate tactic.

Any response for my position that the REGULATIONS they enforce are growing ever more obsolete as the public airwaves are no longer the limited quantity they used to be as a few hundred available channels can now carry billions of stations, and each piece of information is being asked for by listener and being addressed to that listener by the broadcaster. No different than cable, or satellite, or internet, or for that matter US Postal Service. (ok a little faster than the US Postal Service)

That all of this adds up to a FCC struggling to find a purpose and making that purpose controlling obscenity, which was one of their weakest charges to begin with.
