that's the insanity of this bullshit - you have these right wing religious morons working their puppet Bush blackmailing the biggest media companies in the world to cleanse the airwaves claiming the American people want this. Hello? What about the TWENTY MILLION people a week who listen to Howard Stern? And probably another 20 million who listen to others who do the same stuff as Stern. A small minority of whining religious morons gets listened to but 20 million adult Americans who want this type of programming on the airwaves - their opinion counts for nothing? Crazy.

The FCC has powers it shouldn't but if you read the FCC's rules regarding indecency it comes down to the same thing obscenity laws in the United States depend on - community standards.

At his peak Howard Stern had a 10 rating share in New York City -nobody in the history of radio after the invention of TV has ever come anywhere close to that number. I think i read that translated to like one out of every 4 people who had a radio on was listening to Howard Stern. Now how in the world can any court or government body like the FCC say that a broadcaster that popular could be too indecent or obscene according to the standards of that community? It's a mockery of the law.
