Stern suggested another motive for being pulled off the air. "They don't admit it in the press but they have admitted to me that they are doing this because they (Clear Channel executives) are being hauled in front of Congress," he told listeners on Thursday.
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 CC President is a former Democratic Counsel (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?
