    Because the bandwith is limited and the government is forced to regulate the airwaves to keep the marketplace orderly, radio and TV are fundamentally different than cable TV or the internet. Consumers who want access to the information have fewer choices.

    Stern is a professional asshole. I listen to him regularly, but pushed the envelope to make money folks. I'd like to show up with a septic truck and dump 2000 gallons of raw sewage on his doorstep to give him a taste of his own medicine.

    Freedom of speech isn't an absolute freedom. With any RIGHT come a corresponding RESPONSABILITY. Stern and his ilk never accept responsability for their actions.
