Yeah sink buddy, and you also know that the FCC is twisting arms in response to the superbowl nipple incident.

FCC needs to be disbanded or severely gutted along with a few other federal soviet "bureaus" that work to control education, working conditions, health and human services, social policy enforcement and the like.

Socialistic expansion of the central government is NOT good...
I got NO love for howard.

The FCC should not be twisting arms to get tape delays on all programming so that federal police can monitor and restrict unauthorized broadcasting of things that a central government may or may NOT approve of.

EVERY power given to government, WILL without exception be abused. This is not a good idea. Turn howard off. When you can no longer choose to turn him off, I will agree that the fcc can pressure clear channel to pull his broadcast. Until then, we don't need THAT kind of power in a soviet style press-politbureau.

It's not the FCC, Paulson. It's the American public. They're tired of being abused, on the airwaves.

Stern works for a private business. If the owner of that business wants to hamstring him, take it up with the owner of that business.

Disband the FCC and let Congress pass laws that regulate the public airwaves.
