I haven't listened to Howard Stern for 19 years BY CHOICE. Others have listened to Stern for 19 years BY CHOICE. This is America not the Soviet Union or Saudi Arabia, right? No one is holding a gun to our heads.

One day, in the not too distant future, food will be taxed on health content, familial corporal punishment will be outlawed, and saying/thinking certain politically incorrect thoughts will be illegal, punishable by fine and/or jail term.

Gloating over the loss of freedoms and usurption of constitutional rights for your neighbor is a myopic ignorance of your own loss.

No one has lost a Constitutional right. A company has decided not to carry a show on 6 radio stations that it owned. Their choice.

Howard Stern has every right in the world -- every constitutional right in the world -- to interview lesbian hooker heroin addicts, while simultaneously declaring that George W. Bush is the Anti-Christ.

Howard Stern enjoys NO constitutional right, however, to demand that Clear Channel Communications provide him the air time and/or bandwidth to do so, on their dime.

No "rights" have been "lost," here; no "freedoms "usurped."

for once, let it be YOU GUYS that have to change the channel.....

That is correct but the government didn't throw Stern off the air, his boss did. Get it?

I would never say that no one should never be able to hear Stern or his ilk.

They will always be able to hear him if they want if they pay for it.......Stern on pay to hear like XM or Sirus is ok----just don't use the PUBLIC airwaves to push his brand of trash.

The free on air broadcasts are too easliy heard by children.
