FCC's Powell vs. Howard Stern on KGO-AM

Posted by timothy on from the steel-cage-match-with-oprah dept.

Lauren Weinstein writes "Greetings. Tuesday morning on KGO-AM radio in the San Francisco Bay area, host Ronn Owens was interviewing FCC Chairman Michael Powell when Howard Stern called in. The resulting exchange was certainly interesting. The audio clip is available via my blog.

    For a mirror of the mp3, sans all the anti-bush garbage


    You call it "anti-bush garbage", but where do you think all the infringement of the US's free speech (wrapped under the guise of "decency") is stemming from in your country?

    Hint: Howard Stern has a fair idea.

    Yeah. I bet he paid Michael Powell and big fat kickback for keeping the pressure on. Do you wear your tinfoil hat at night too?

    Clinton put Powell on the commision, Bush just made him the head. The commision is made up of 5 Democrats and 5 Republicans. So it's a bi-partisan attempt to shut a talentless bag-o-sh*t named Stern up.

    All I can say is I'm glad I have XM radio instead of Sirius, I won't accidently stumble on his worthless show like I would from time to time when it was on TV. But I guess morons need other morons to entertain them, so he has to have some home.

    This will probably kill all my kharma points, but I fail to see any entertainment value in Mr. Stern other than pure shock value.

    I rarely read replies, it's my opinion and if you thought about your opinion a little more, I'm OK with that.

    As for these "militant Christians bent on world domination" I just don't see it.

    Well, that goes to show how little you know about your cult. A fundamental of Christianity is that some day Christians are going to rule the world. Read the New Testament much?

    This is something the "kerry is a flip flopper" crowd just does not seem to understand. Sometimes you have to vote for something horrible in order to get something you need or want.

    Sorry, I don't buy this. We have representative (rather than direct) democracy exactly for this reason, so that generally unpopular decisions can be taken by the representatives convinced of the decisions' wisdom.

    Either Kerry is, indeed, a flip-flopper changing his opinions honestly but too frequently for a grown up man, or he is a whore caring more about his electability than integrity.

    The former of these two charges is, actually, quite charitable...
