>>The FCC doesn’t get into content.

Indeed. Maybe in Canada, etc. but not here. Someone I know who promotes rock bands is a big liberal and has been known to send letters to stations like Boston conservative talker WRKO, complaining about offensive content by their hosts, etc. These letters (which he also posts online as “open letters” or via emails) do wind up in their FCC-mandated
Public Files but if, say, someone is upset that Howie Carr
is playing a horn (”La Cucaracha”) while talking about
Spanish-surnames on arrest records (”...and not possessing a valid driver’s license), chances are the FCC won’t do
much about it. But who knows.

If anything sponsor pressure can work, though...some hosts have been canned due to it. (By management. Not the FCC!) So far Rush has been dropped
by, what, 2 stations out of 600? In Hilo, HI and Pittsfield, People’s Republic of Mass.

They couldn't pass the "Fairness doctrine" to shut him up. So now, they are whining that he is a meanie for actually having an opinion and saying it out loud.

Where were steinam and the feminazi's when maher and letterman were making vile jokes about Palin and her family?

Feminist voices Gloria Steinem, Jane Fonda and Robin Morgan say Limbaugh practices “hate speech”, and that airing him isn’t broadcasting “in the public interest.” Their weekend op-ed piece on CNN.com cites instances of Limbaugh’s past alleged misogyny, like calling female cabinet members “sex-rateries” and saying the National Organization for Women is “a bunch of whores to liberalism.”

I've listened to Rush for a lot of years and cringed many times when he's said (usually because while I get the satirical intent I just know it will be thrown back at me or other conservatives as a serious example of how "we" all think) but I've never heard him say anything like this. Did I miss it?

They have a point. Whores charge for their services, but NOW does it gratus.

They are "SLUTS".

I believe Rush’s loss of a long term relationship with Sleep Train is a foreshadowing of many lost relationships and loyalties after the Election of 2012.
