How are kids listening to Stern between 6 AM when they're either
supposed to be under direct parental supervision, on their way to
school, or in school? It isn't the gov'ts job to "protect" them - it's
the parents'. Don't like it? Change the station.

Why is Oprah allowed to have a guest on her show at 4 PM (when many kids
are home from school but their parents are not) graphically explain what
"tossing the salad" is, but Stern has to fear a fine if he airs that
audio clip?

Like it or not, there is constitutional protection for free speech,
popular or not. You aren't required to listen to it. Stern is being
slammed not because of "indecency" (he's been much better in the last
couple years than he was previously) but because he's been speaking
negatively about Bush. Let the FCC and the Bush administration keep
rolling, and you'll find yourself in jail for using the s-word on an
Internet mailing list like you just did above.

Any more, I'll take it to the OT list, which from Josh's post is where
it's properly already gone.
