The government has not done diddly squat to Howard Stern.
Clear Channel was given a huge fine over another of their shock Jocks that apparantly was even more over the top and innappropriate than Howard. Clear Channel made a business decision that they were finally going to establish some standards for what was appropriate radio .
They pay the piper, they get to call the tune. Howard decided to stick it in their eye . The show they canned him over was intentionally designed to flip them the bird, tell them to shove it and to kiss his liberal white behind. Clear Channel didn't back down.
This was a business decision by a private company, the government didn't do anything other than to call a bunch of different but allied business executives on the carpet for
an explanation of their filth peddling.
