"Not the censor's side."
This isn't censorship, it's Clear Channel deciding that they don't want to take the risk of carrying his show on the radio stations they own. It's property rights. Howard is STILL free to speak - but no one owes him their soapbox.

I agree with you...
about them having the right to muzzle howard.
Howard can still say what he wants.
I just don't have to listen, but then, I wasn't listening before.
If the FCC is pushing this stuff, it is a bad precedent, as that same "leverage" will be used in the future for speech that IS important. Hillary would censor this private website using some mechanism if she could. Just like San Francisco tried to by labelling it as a hate site...
