It isn't a question of the company choosing not to air his program, but instead the FCC breathing down there necks to force him off the air. I am sorry, but the regulation of WORDS is absolutely ridiculous. I am not going to get into the issues regarding the changing moral standards that are clearly going on, but instead ask the question of whether or not it is the government's job to fix the issue. We ask for less government is so many areas, but people want to issue laws one what words can be said on the radio. This is horrific. We fight against antipollution legislation and have faith that private industry will solve their own problems when it comes to commerical industry, but don't have enough faith in the broadcasting industry to do the same. It is time for the hypocrisy to end. Less government, period.

Surely you jest. "horrific?" Saddam and his sons were "horrific" in what they did. Private industry solved this problem, and you call it "horrific." I don't believe the "feds were breathing down their necks" story. Common decency standards can prevail without the government HAVING to DO ANYTHING....sheesh.
