So politics an't influence fines? Yes we understand he was getting fined. The REASONS why he is getting fined bother me. In fact the reasons why HE is getting fined (different than the prior sentence because of different stressing of words) bothers me more.
Again, while you were a broadcaster that's fine. We took your opinion. But you have difficulty adressing other issues to which you say you don't know. Those are the ones that interest me at the moment and I thank you for the input of he bad, he get fined.
And yes, I know that the Democrats did not stand up for him either. However, on a lot of issues the other party is forced into playing along for politics sake.

Folks, please go back to the first or second page of the thread and read the comments attributed to Stern. He knows why he was kicked off the air on Clear Channel -- and it isn't politics. It's BIG fines. They had their butts hauled before Congress recently, and promised to clean up their act.
By the way, the newest and probably most powerful member of the Clear Channel Exec. team, short of the President is a former Democratic Council (I think to the FCC, but could be wrong -- might be a Congressional committee. I really doubt that saying anything about President Bush either way has anything to do with this.
This is business, plain and simple. They don't want fines, and they don't want to lose licenses at their stations.
But that's simply my opinion as a professional broadcaster. Think whatever you want.
Is there a chance that anything controversial won't become a political argument for the next few months?
