Reply #37: Stop saying this isn't a free speech issue - it's a Clear Channel issue [View All]

We all KNOW Howard works for other syndicators (Infinity Broadcasting) so if Clear Channel pulls him, he still has a job.

This is a Clear Channel issue.

In fact, this has nothing to do with Howard Stern, and everything to do with the CEO of Clear Channel.

THAT'S the guy whose name should be in the head of all these threads - THAT'S the guy who made news this week - THAT'S the guy we should be talking about and analyzing and critiquing.

Not Howard. The only thing Howard did unusual this week was finally turn against Bush - like much of the rest of the right-wing lapdog media since the WMD scandal and the AWOL scandal and the anti-gay-marriage scandal.

Howard's just the most precarious out of that batch of right-wing media whores who finally gave up on Bush.

This is a warning shot being fired to scare at any other right-wing commentators who might think about turning on Bush.

They can't go after the high-brow ones who've turned on Bush in the past few weeks - so they go after the low-brow ones - knowing that all the hoity-toity politically correct "liberals" will just roll over and let it happen.
