LIMBAUGH WARNS OF DANGER TO FREE SPEECH

[demdave]

THE NATION'S TOP RADIO HOST RUSH LIMBAUGH WARNED OF GROWING GOVERNMENT INTERVENTION IN BROADCASTING CONTENT.

LIMBAUGH MADE THE COMMENTS AFTER HIS PARENT COMPANY CLEAR CHANNEL DROPPED VIACOM'S HOWARD STERN FROM ITS STATIONS.

'SMUT ON TV GETS PRAISED. SMUT ON TV WINS EMMYS. ON RADIO, THERE SEEMS TO BE DIFFERENT STANDARDS,' LIMBAUGH EXPLAINED.

'I'VE NEVER HEARD HOWARD STERN. BUT WHEN THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT GETS INVOLVED IN THIS, I GET A LITTLE FRIGHTENED.

1. Why are you shouting?

5. Some news prints like that

I've edited all caps news releases down, but it's rather a pain.

Topic: I really have a hard time buying that Limbaugh has never heard Stern....

2. Please keep us updated!

I'm sure we're all dying to hear when he gets to the part where he apologizes for being such a drug-addled, lying, hypocritical f**ktard who spews hate and misinformation like a firehose does water.

3. Just a while ago today someone mentioned...

...that Rush Limbaugh does this impression of gay men with a lisp - I wonder if he realized that this could affect him too if people complained.

I also wonder if he's been reading the site again!

4. I couldn't agree more

Like when those of us who criticize the Bush Administration have our patriotism attacked and mysteriously find ourselves placed on "no-fly" lists.

6. Everyone should file FCC complaints against Rush

Rush is pornographic. There's no redeeming social value to his crap.

8. Actually, I was wondering . . .

if the "real reason Stern was pulled" was indeed because a caller got through and said something foul, then we would be exposing the true bias by having a number of people call in on his show, get through the screening process, and, um, I better not say. The moderators might pull my post.

7. can't say I don't agree with him on this one...n/t

10. Yeah,

Pretty interesting, huh? Maybe the dittoheads will hear something worthwhile for a change.

9. Locking.

Excessive caps.
