>Howard Stern is the poster child for free speech

Who better than Howard Stern to be a poster child for free speech?

And he's right, Oprah (or someone on her show) described graphic
sexual acts and though complaints were made to the FCC, then chairman
Michael Powell dismissed them saying Oprah is "too beloved" to go
after.

In fact this entire mess is so screwed up that the GM of Stern's home
station would not play the Oprah clips (that had already aired and was
not fined, tacitly "ok" by FCC standards one could assume) unedited,
for fear of being fined.

_that_ is screwy...
