The Constitution only guarantees free speech on your own property. A person is never free to speak on another persons property without leave.

Other stations will pick up Stern. Let the competition begin.

I'm crying a river for Howard. He started out OK but his show went to crap after his movie came out. He started actually believing what he was shoveling. He should have taken the hint when his wife left him because she got sick of his show being only about talking women out of their clothes and copping a free feel.

I don't listen/watch Howard because of the vulgarity.

It's a shame because, unlike Imus, the guy can actually be really funny, but he just can't control the nasty side.

Since everyone knows what he's like -- one then is faced with the question, should it be allowed? I'll have to think about that one, and let you know.

Howard Stern was at his best when he was at WNBC and battling the management stooges there. Maybe this'll change him for the better.

Although I would never listen to Howard Stern, I have no problem with him having a raunchy show. Now if CBS were to give him the stage during the half time of the Super Bowl I would be ticked.

Whoa! I figured it would take him about 3 weeks. Looks like he did it in, what, 3 days?

From Article: Shock jock Howard Stern's show was yanked Wednesday from Clear Channel Communications Inc. radio stations after an incident on his show Tuesday, the first casualty of its zero tolerance policy on indecency.

Howard Stern wasn't the first casualty according to this article Bubba the Love Sponge was.

(Feb. 25) -- Bubba the Love Sponge was squeezed out of his job as host of a Tampa, Fla., radio talk show Tuesday by the station's owner, Clear Channel Communications Inc. He thus became the first notable casualty of a move to clean up the acts of the nation's shock jocks. Bubba, whose real name is Todd Clem, has long been controversial. In January, the Federal Communications Commission proposed a $755,000 fine against Clear Channel for 26 alleged violations of indecency laws by Mr. Clem dating back to 2001.

It was vulgar, offensive and insulting, not just to women and African Americans but to anyone with a sense of common decency

That sounds like stern's work alright

Soon to come: Rush, Beck and Savage suspended for espousing conservatism which is insssssssssssssssensitive to the "poor" and "underlings" in society. This will happen of course when the new FCC Chairman, Chelsea Clinton, is appointed if Kerry wins....

Clear Channel can do whatever they want...it is, after all, their stations.

Personally...good riddance to a POS.

Howard went off on bush yesterday and loves Al Franken now....

http://www.marksfriggin.com/news04/2-23.htm

Howard's Review Of Al Franken's Book. 02/23/04. 7:45am
After the break Howard wondered if they were done talking about what a douche bag Jay Leno is. Robin said they were off of that subject and had talked about the party. Howard ended up taking a call from a guy who said they really don't need John on the show. Howard said that it's Jay who is a ''bizarro'' and they love John. Howard said he doesn't understand what John has to do with Jay's show. Artie said it's (Leno's show) going to be like that disco station that plays one rock song every hour trying to get people to come over. Howard said that Leno is desperate and can't develop his own stuff.
Howard said over vacation he read Al Franken's book ''Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them: A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right.'' He said that in the first page Franken insults him but he can get past that. He said if you read the book you'll never vote for George Bush. He said Franken had a bunch of Harvard kids investigate stuff and it's great. He went on to say that he's had bad feelings about Bush since the FCC stuff went down. He also said that the economy thing is also a factor in that. He said he might be a ''anyone but Bush'' guy now. He said that even Ralph Nader running is a good idea.

Howard told Scott DePace from E! that he has to read Franken's book. DePace said that he will read it but he thinks that Bush is doing the right things at this point.

I'm not for censorship, but I must say as a Greaseman fan, I do get some satisfaction from this.

What's the big deal?
His show is televised and they Blur out the ti*s and that other stuff that chicks expose on his show.
What fun is it to listen to naked things on the radio?

Howard Stern has always been a foul digusting pig and should have been pulled ten years ago. Listening to his show fullfills the poddy talk part of underdeveloped adult mind. If you REALLY LISTEN to what he talks about you realize that he is a child who never got past the poo poo pee pee stage,

Seventh-grade level menses humor out of vogue? Say it isn't so! I wonder how long until the shallow-minded people who like that sort of crap grow tired of all the infantile programming on today's TV and radio.
