Sad Sad day for free speech

Comment's about Stern's childishness are relevant to the conversation in that I don't particularly respect him as a spokesman for free speech. Any valid points he has are undermined by the pointlessly offensive drivel he produces. He makes a poor spokesman in the battle agains the real censorship problems because he's easy to pass off.

I'm much more concerned about the record fine handed to Fox for implied sex before 10PM, all based on a totoal of 4 unique complaints. 700 Million people in this country, and 4 people complaining was enough to trigger a penalty from the FCC. 4 complaints hardly defines a "community standard". Those are the battles that need to be fought, not Stern who blatantly corsses well beyond the line.
