Howard Stern was dumped by media mogul Clear Channel Communications on Thursday, less than a week after Infinity Radio instituted its "zero tolerance" rule.
The tightening down on radio broadcasting is a direct result of stricter rules set after Janet Jackson revealed too much during the Super Bowl. This issue in-and-of-itself is not that interesting, until you consider what it means for free speech.
As it stands right now, I don't have a problem with seeing less skin on America's Top Model or ER, but the question is where will it end?
I suppose that is what makes America so special. Because as soon as "censorship" goes too far people will start yelling and screaming and the rules will be relaxed.
Just something to chew on have a good weekend...
