Subject: RE: BS: ClearChannel fires Howard Stern...
"P.S. If you don't like censorship, don't listen to Clear Channel."

Half right, Carol. Don't listen to Clear Channel. It's getting harder to find a station that's fresh and original, I know, but anything's better than corporate radio.

Funny thing is that this thread comes on the heals of one in which some people would seem capable of gladly censoring (or near enough) a Bob Dylan ad for lady's foundations. Just noticing the juxtaposition of the two, that's all. We censor a lot of things, snuff films or child porn, for example. Howard just needs to find an outlet that's less public. Or quit pushing the envelope solely for the publicity value. Which ever.

I know Howard claims some Christians think he's the Anti-Christ, but, he's exaggerating his importance in the scheme of things. I find he's guilty of a much greater sin, at least in radio terms. Focused as he is on two or three topics that titilating his audience, he's simply boring. IMHO, of course.
