Stern and no one else, chooses to present the type of things he does. Using the cloak of the "evil FCC limiting my free speech" BS just doesn't work for me. He knew what the rules were going in. I'm not sure why he couldn't abide by them, but that was his choice. His actions have rammifications based on the rules set up by the FCC.
This isn't a free speech issue, IMHO. This is Stern making a stink in the name of free speech to get more ratings and more income.

I could not have said it better myself! Unfortunately, I need to spread some mojo around before giving it to NA again.
