"It is apparent to most of us in broadcasting that your father got you your job," said Stern

Can't find anything to disagree with in that statement.

[Semper Paratus]

Good. Let the FCC take Stern flak instead of the President.

[yoe]

Howard Stern crosses the line of impropriety in anyone's book, often enough that he is branded for bad taste. The FCC is just doing their job; they should do it more often as in the Sinclair Group's harassment from the left...in Stern’s case, freedom of speech carries with it responsibility and in Sinclair’s case threatened harm, be it financial or bodily, the FCC should have stepped in for Freedom of Speech and truth.

An obvious "dirty trick" by the radio station. Larry King did this to GHW Bush on a call in show when they put G Stephanopolis(he was working for Clintoon's election at the time) through as a caller, Bush was outrage and justifiably so, that was also a "dirty trick".

The two jousted for more than 10 minutes. The FCC chief initially resisted taking calls from audience listeners but relented and Stern pounced after getting word of the show.

BS, the producers called Stern. This is like when GHWBush was on Larry King and Dem operatives just happened to get on the line. Who was it, Stephanopolous?

If anyone here says Michael Powell didn't get his job because of his father, they're lying to themselves!

Let's be real here. Nepotism is alive and well in Washington D.C.
