I will not go into a tirade about the state of today's broadcasting "professionals," particularly the so called "shock jocks," because then you would all realize what an old fogey I've turned into. I will just say, as a broadcaster of over thirty-five years, sometimes I miss the "iron fist" that the FCC used to govern the industry. Not often, but sometimes.
Especially in cases like this one.

Well, once the FCC's "iron fist" was relaxed (I'm thinking about the Fairness Doctrine being repealed), anything went. This is why you have shock jocks. Instead of being proactive, people are reactive.
I'm also a longtime Jim Rome listener. Jim's style is aggressive, some say abrasive, but he would never pull shyt like this imbecile did.
