RACE AND THIS RACE No matter what you may think of Howard Stern, give a listen to these three quickie interviews broadcast on his show: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NyvqhdllXgU. Stern’s interviewer posed a few questions to Obama supporters in Harlem and deviously switched McCain’s positions with Obama’s positions. Turns out that Obama voters back Sarah Palin as VP, are pro-life, and believe we should stay in Iraq as long as needed to gain victory. The obvious point? Obama supporters would vote for him even if he believed aliens from Uranus created ACORN, if he believed David Duke was the Messiah, or if he...

I don't usually like Howard Stern, but this is funny. He sends Sal out to interview Obama supporters in Harlem. He switches McCain's and Obama's positions on the issues. Basically, the people hate McCain, but they like his policies.

Short "Man on the Street" interview with Obama supporters in Harlem. Here Illuminating...

Although I imagine most conservatives aren't fans of radio shock jock Howard Stern, the following must-see video (must-hear audio, really!) exposes the dirty little secret about why so many folks are supporting Barack Obama (hint -- it has NOTHING to do with his policy positions, h/t Larwyn):

This interview goes to Harlem in NYC and asks people on the street who they support in the Presidential election. The interesting twist is that the interviewer asks if they support certain positions, but gives John McCain's positions. In some cases, they are asked if they support Obama's selection of Sarah Palin for the VP slot. They all said: "Yes". While is isn't politically correct to say so, I'd say there are a few racists in Harlem.

(CNN) – Eager VP-watchers waiting for the text message announcement of Barack Obama’s choice of running mate have gotten their answer: It’s Hillary Clinton. And Tim Kaine. And Kathleen Sebelius. Since declaring the Democratic vice presidential pick would first be announced over e-mail and text message, several hoax announcements of the Illinois senator's choice have circulated, purporting to be from the Obama campaign. The latest came in e-mail Friday morning that hit the inboxes of many White House reporters, carrying the subject, "My Vice President."

Sirius Satellite Radio host Howard Stern supports the merger of his network with XM Satelitte Radio and is fuming at Democratic opposition on the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) panel. After FCC commissioners announced they have reached a deal to approve the merger of Sirius (NASDAQ:SIRI) and XM (NASDAQ:XMSR), Stern ranted about Democrats’ ‘gangsterism’ and ‘communism’ and the obstacles to the merger. Stern described a phone conversation he had with his agent, who he described as a “liberal Democrat kind of guy.” “I go, ‘That’s it!’” Stern said. “[I] go, ‘You know what Don, I’ve voted Republican and I’ve voted Democrat....

Sirius satellite radio shock jock Howard Stern gave an enthusiastic thumbs-up to GOP presidential candidate Ron Paul on his program today, saying the maverick congressman is "fantastic." "I've got to tell you about this guy Ron Paul," Stern said on his show. "This guy – he's a Republican – and he says listen, when I become president, I'm taking us out of Iraq, I'm taking us out of everywhere in the world. … "What good has it done us being in these f---ing Middle Eastern countries?" Still paraphrasing Paul, Stern said: "I'm not an isolationist. I'm not afraid to...

High-paid journalists, media "experts", and pundits are greatly confused in the enormous news coverage of legal battles over the body of Anna Nicole Smith, and custody of her 5 month old little girl Dannielynn. Court hearings in Florida have prompted wall-to-wall live coverage on most of the nation's cable news channels and massive coverage overall. The nation's best journalists interviewing supposedly highly-competent legal experts have all -- ERRONEOUSLY -- reported that the Last Will and Testament of Anna Nicole Smith DISINHERITED her 5 month old daughter boron in the Bahamas in September 2006. This is entirely false. 1) FIRST, Anna...

NEW YORK — Sirius Satellite Radio (SIRI) paid shock jock Howard Stern a bonus worth nearly $83 million on Tuesday for surpassing subscriber goals set in a 2004 contract that had already turned heads with its $500 million compensation package. The freewheeling and ribald Stern joined Sirius one year ago... His defection marked a turning point for the nascent business of satellite radio, with both Sirius and larger rival XM Satellite Radio (XMR) paying millions more to sign on other talent and attract listeners to their subscriber model. Sirius had roughly 600,000 subscribers when it signed Stern in 2004 for...

After last Christmas, public radio stations across the country were inundated with complaints from listeners who were shocked to hear Howard Stern interrupt "Morning Edition" or their classical music lineup. The portable satellite radios, iPods, and DVD players that people had received as gifts were playing on FM frequencies that interrupted broadcasts at the left end of the radio dial, in violation of federal regulations. After a year of wrangling among broadcasters, regulators, and device manufacturers, public radio listeners and officials are in a holding pattern, waiting to see whether the problems the new media created for old radio have...

NEW YORK -- A notorious prank caller and Howard Stern fan from North Wales, Pa., managed to get onto CNN's "The Situation Room" and was interviewed about the Ramsey case. In a live phone interview Tuesday with CNN's Wolf Blitzer, Thomas Cipriano pretended to be Wendy Hutchens, a California woman claiming that five years ago she had detailed chats about the death of JonBenet Ramsey with murder suspect John Mark Karr, the New York Daily News reported Thursday. "Wendy Hutchens is joining us on the phone right now," Blitzer told viewers. "Wendy, thanks very much for doing this. Tell our...

Debbie Schlussel is doing a show on Sirius Satellite Radio tonight, on the Howard Stern Channel (Howard 101) until 11 o'clock. She's a riot when she's on Stern, or maybe Howard makes her a riot by mocking her. At any rate, she IS informative and worth a listen if you have Sirius.

Long before they were competing shock jocks on opposition satellite radio networks, XM's Opie and Anthony and Sirius' Howard Stern worked for the same radio company in New York. And it wasn't much fun, Opie and Anthony say during an interview airing at 9 tonight on the Fox News Channel's Hannity & Colmes. ''The guy made our lives miserable when we worked for Infinity Broadcasting,'' Anthony says. ``He put a gag order on us so we couldn't talk about him. He didn't like somebody else being successful in his city, in New York. His home base. [Even though] we were...

HOWARD Stern says he's been offered a "major deal" to come back to regular radio via satellite radio - just like his longtime enemies Opie & Anthony. "The joke could be on them if I get good and worked up [because] I got offered a major deal to go back to terrestrial and stay on satellite at the same time," Stern told his Sirius listeners in comments replayed and mocked yesterday by "O&A." "Can you imagine if I go across town against them in all those markets and just kick some a-? That would really be cool," said Stern, who...

he FCC on Friday would neither confirm nor deny that it is investigating reports of interference from some satellite radio receivers that are reportedly relaying their signals inadvertently to FM receivers in nearby automobiles. An article in Friday's Baltimore Sun details how some motorists are accidentally picking up channels offered by Sirius and XM on their car radio. The incidents generally occur when the motorists are tuned to a station between 88.1 MHz and 89.9 FM — frequencies reserved for noncommercial, religious or educational stations. Aftermarket satellite receivers generally employ these lower FM frequencies, and the receivers use an analog...

Well, that didn't take long. Rocker-turned-radio host David Lee Roth, who accepted the no-win task of replacing ratings king Howard Stern in January, was bounced from the airwaves Friday after barely three months on the air in New York, Philadelphia, Boston and four other markets. "I was booted, tossed, and it's going to cost somebody," Roth said on his last show, intimating that his lawyers would go after CBS Radio for the full compensation due from his reported $4 million contract. The timing of the move was interesting: It arrived just days before the Roth show's first Arbitron numbers. CBS...

They're coming back by popular demand. Ok, make that corporate radio's desperate attempt to save its failing radio content and its stations' revenue after departure of the King. The one-time Boston radio bad boys Greg "Opie" Hughes and Anthony Cumia will return to Boston's WBCN 104.1FM airwaves as early as next Wednesday(4/26) morning. Meanwhile, after three long months former Van Halen lead man David Lee Roth is finally scheduled to wrap up his so-called 15-minute radio career tomorrow (Friday 4/21). This afternoon, Billboard Magazine has provided details on Opie and Anthony's return to broadcast radio and a reunion with their...

DLR DeathWatch '06 Back On? We've all been hearing rumors of David Lee Roth's radio demise for a while, but now (Radio And Records Street Talk) is hearing it's a matter of when -- not if -- CBS Radio, frustrated with Dave's inability and/or unwillingness to play nice with management, will finally be forced to pull the plug. There is strong speculation that we could we see heads roll sooner rather than later -- perhaps after the winter (ratings) book hits next Wednesday? Then again, we could be massively full of crap, but somehow we seriously doubt it this time....

New York -- Howard Stern is angry more fans haven't followed him to satellite radio. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, the 52-year-old shock jock lashes out at those of his fan base who haven't made the transition to Sirius Satellite Radio. In January, Stern moved his popular and bawdy morning show to the subscription satellite radio provider. "I was just at my psychiatrist and I said, `I just got great news: We hit the 4 million mark.

Tough Crowd: Listeners Tune Out Howard Stern's Successors According to early ratings released Monday, former Stern stations suffered serious drops in listenership. Howard Stern The early results are in, and a good number of former Howard Stern listeners appear to have jumped to other pursuits in the morning. Based on preliminary numbers released by Arbitron for winter 2006 (November 2005-January 2006), stations featuring Stern's successors — David Lee Roth, Adam Carolla and Rover — have suffered serious drops in listenership. According to an analysis of the numbers released Monday by trade magazine Radio & Records, New York's WFNY (92.3 Free...

CBS Can't Be Sirius Morning-show legend and Sirius (Nasdaq: SIRI) star Howard Stern is used to being sued. His legal clashes with the FCC ultimately drove him from terrestrial radio to the less-patrolled satellite airwaves. Stern and his randy antics have been judicial targets in the past, but now his old boss is the one gunning for him. In a story originally reported by the New York Post and later confirmed in a press conference by Stern himself, CBS (NYSE: CBS) is suing the talk show host to the tune of $500 million. Why? CBS charges that Stern signed with...

Howard said that Joel Hollander and Les Moonves are preparing to sue him for talking about SIRIUS while he was on the air. He said that it's so ridiculous because they allowed him to do that. He said they could have hit the delay button on him if they didn't want him talking about it on the air. He said he had a meeting with Les and Joel the other day but he wont' talk about that yet. This is so unbelievable to him because Joel and Les came on the air and congratulated him for his move to SIRIUS....

The 43-page complaint charges: * Howard Stern repeatedly and willfully breached his written contract with CBS Radio over the last 22 months of that contract, misappropriated millions of dollars worth of CBS Radio airtime for his own financial benefit, and fraudulently concealed his interest in hundreds of millions of dollars of Sirius stock while promoting it on the air. * That on or about January 9, 2006, Sirius paid over 34 million shares of stock, valued at approximately $220 million, to Stern and his agent because Sirius exceeded by the end of 2005 certain subscriber targets that were set in...

Country singer Willie Nelson chose Valentine's Day to release the gay-themed song "On the Rod Again." The Texas country icon sings about love among men on the range. The song aims to show Mr. Nelson's support for gays, particularly to conservative country-music fans. The song was unveiled on Howard Stern's Sirius Satellite Radio show. Stern provided accompanying grunts and squeals in the studio as the record was played. The timing of the song's release coincides with a time when the idea of gay cowboys is being discussed throughout the media in response to the success of the Academy Award-nominated film...

Sirius Satellite Radio Inc., which liberated radio shock jock Howard Stern from the federal decency standards that he felt had shackled him, is finding that freedom's just another word for $500 million to lose. Since Jan. 9, when Stern debuted on Sirius, pirated versions of the shows have been made available for free via several online file-sharing networks just hours after Stern signs off. The New York-based broadcaster signed Stern to a five-year, half-billion-dollar contract in 2004.

Howard Stern will cost Sirius Satellite Radio significantly more than initially forecasted, according to Banc of America Securities analyst Jonathan Jacoby. Stern's actual compensation will be close to $670 million, not the $500 million previously estimated, Jacoby said. "To reach break-even on Stern, we estimate Sirius requires 2.4 million incremental subscriptions," Jacoby wrote in a recent report cited on Forbes.com. The previous break-even mark was approximately 1.5 million. An early 2006 surge in sales of Sirius hardware is now starting to fall off despite the continuation of price discounting, according to Jacoby, who reiterated a "sell" rating on Sirius.

Howard Stern may be coming down with a Sirius case of the bleeps. High-level executives of the satellite broadcaster are developing an internal standards-and-practices document that will set boundaries for Stern and other shock jocks, The Post has learned. “It’s something that’s being taken very seriously," a Sirius source said. Stern's new show also is being broadcast on a time-delay, giving him the opportunity to censor the program — which he already has done. Stern moved to Sirius in part because satellite-radio services such as Sirius and XM — unlike free terrestrial radio — are not policed by the FCC,...

Howard Stern might have a new bone to pick now that he’s moved his risque show to Sirius Satellite Radio. And this time it isn’t with the Federal Communications Commission. The King of All Media is fighting some feisty subjects who don’t want to pay to hear the popular shock jock. Sirius and Stern’s production company, One Twelve Inc., fired off a cease-and-desist letter to at least one Web site that was rebroadcasting the radio host’s show — billed the “Show” — as an audio stream. The letter, which was e-mailed to the administrators of www.hearhoward.org and www.hearhoward100.com, called the...

Stern weighed in yesterday with the confession that he had a nose job nine years ago — right after the filming of his movie, "Private Parts" — and liposuction not long after to suck out the waddle of fat under his chin. He explained that, while he'd always hated his nose, doctor after doctor told him not to touch it. Finally, he said, one sketched out a simple fix that would pare away his speed bump, so he decided to have the surgery.

Apparently, airplay ain’t enough anymore. Sirius Satellite Radio is exploring options to stream its imminent superstar Howard Stern on the Internet. Stern exits Infinity at year-end for a highly publicized $500 million five-year contract with the satcaster. Scott Greenstein, president of entertainment and sports for Sirius, said at the Reuters Telecommunications, Cable and Satellite Summit Tuesday (Aug. 9) that the company was looking for all ways to maximize Stern’s exposure. Stern already maintains his own Web site, howardstern.com, which contains a detailed programming companion that is updated daily. He also recently signed a deal with In Demand to televise his...

Even for those not particularly familiar with the broadcast legend, it was quite a moving send-off for WOR/New York's Bob Grant this evening. Saying goodbye after decades of trailblazing talk radio entertainment, Grant was praised by some of the industry's biggest names, including Howard Stern. In a particularly fascinating radio moment, Stern revealed just how much he had influenced his own career. In addition, Howard credited Grant for the development of the modern conservative movement, calling him years ahead of nearly everyone else. Stern wondered why Grant hadn't become a major national star along the lines of Rush Limbaugh and...

JAN. 9 1:36 P.M. ET Shares of XM Satellite Radio Holdings Inc. traded sharply higher Monday after an analyst recommended that investors buy the satellite radio provider's stock, based on a bullish view of the industry's growing alliance with car makers and its cheaper share price.XM Satellite shares rose $1.84, or 6.6 percent, to $29.79 in afternoon trading on the Nasdaq.

Dix said in a client note earlier...

If there's a four-letter word or outrageous sex act that didn't get mentioned on Howard Stern's new satellite radio show, it wasn't for lack of trying. Words that once were bleeped on Stern's terrestrial radio program, previously broadcast in Chicago on WCKG 105.9 FM, flowed uninterrupted on Howard 101, the Sirius satellite frequency that's airing Stern's reincarnated show. And though it's true that the triple-X rated comedy bits and salty on-air patter didn't wholly define the program, the show unquestionably plunged more deeply than ever into material that many listeners would consider obscene. -snip- Yet this was just Day One...

The biggest gamble in the short life of satellite radio hits the table at 6 a.m. today, as Howard Stern starts what he calls his creative rebirth at Sirius. The most prominent morning host on commercial radio for 20 years, Stern joined Sirius because he says the FCC's vague content guidelines made it impossible for him to do his "real show" any more. Because satellite listeners pay a monthly subscription fee, like cable TV watchers, the FCC does not regulate content - though Stern's arrival has amplified calls for such regulation to be authorized. Stern's switch to Sirius, with his...

The writer-director of "Kabbalah," an Off-Off-Broadway religious satire in which cast members strip naked, yesterday blasted female lead Emily Stern as a "Jewish-American princess" for abruptly quitting the show, and called her famous father, Sirius Satellite Radio jock Howard Stern, "a psycho." Israeli-born stage maven Tuvia Tenenbom, who runs the Jewish Theater of New York, told me he canceled the run when the 22-year-old actress - who played Madonna in the show - bowed out after six weeks at the Triad Theater on W. 73rd St. because a couple of Howard Stern fan sites exposed her celebrity parentage.

NEW YORK Jan 5, 2006 — Sirius Satellite Radio Inc. will give Howard Stern 34 million shares of stock worth about $220 million at today's prices because the company has met agreed-upon targets for gaining new subscribers under its 2004 deal with the shock jock. In a regulatory filing Thursday, Sirius said its subscriber count as of Dec. 31, 2005, exceeded the target it had agreed upon with Stern in October 2004, when it made a five-year deal with him. At the time, Sirius said its deal with Stern would be worth about $100 million per year beginning in 2006....

Howard Stern's statuesque daughter, Emily, has abruptly pulled out of an off-Broadway show in which she appeared stark naked. Fearful that audience members were snapping pictures of her in the nude, the 6-foot-tall actress ditched the Jewish Theater of New York production of "Kabba lah," forcing it to shut down. "I'm terribly disappointed," said Tuvia Ten enbom, who wrote and directed the satire on how the Jewish mystical practice has gone commer cial. Tenenbom told The Post that Howard had begged Emily not to do the show, which debuted Nov. 15 and was set to run until the end of...

Friend of Freepers, The Great One, Dr. Levin - Mark Levin is a thousand times more entertaining than Howard Stern - and Mark Levin has never once to my knowledge resorted to fart jokes to get a laugh. In fact, Mark gets laughs the old fashioned way; he tells the truth about "libs," and their endlessly pernicious ways. He has the ability to humor and educate his "beloved audience" using a vast knowledge of law which has accumulated since he was appointed a top advisor to President Ronald Reagan's cabinet.

NEW YORK - The free ride for Howard Stern fans ends Friday. Stern, a New York radio fixture for 20 years and host of a syndicated show for 12 million daily listeners, bids farewell to his fans with a final show on terrestrial radio. On Jan. 9, Stern makes his move to satellite radio — where his once-free speech will cost listeners $12.95 a month. Stern, no surprise, will not leave quietly. He's scheduled a two-hour party in midtown Manhattan to say goodbye to his loyal listeners. And he plans to deliver an address to fans on his final show,...

A porn star, a mob daughter, music moguls, actors and thousands of Howard Stern loyalists are expected to gather today to give the self-proclaimed "King of All Media" an all-out radio send off. This morning, Stern says farewell to WXRK Radio (92.3 FM), his home for 20 years. It's his last show on broadcast radio before starting at Sirius Satellite Radio on Jan. 9. "I know terrestrial radio is dead," Stern told the Daily News recently. "If satellite radio takes off, and that's an if, and I think it will, there will be 30 million people subscribing by 2010.

Howard Stern has crowed for months about how he'll get as filthy as humanly possible when he jumps to censorship-free Sirius Satellite Radio next month — and now he's revealing for the first time, in a New York magazine interview, just how X-rated his new show will be. In an expletive-filled interview that hits newsstands Monday, the sex-obsessed shock jock tells of five new jaw-dropping features that are sure to push the boundaries of bad taste. ...
