i dunno. i think, more likely, its clear channel (specifically that john hogan guy) simply trying to save its own ass.
its a witch trial right now.
they showed some clips of the court cases or hearings (or whatever they are) from yesterday, where they put hogan on the spot. in his defense, its just as intimidating as the "are you a communist" scenarios.
if you defend stern and free speech, you're the scum of society and a pornographer and you get yourself in trouble.
if you fuel their fire and relent and drop the stern show, you're a good guy and a team player. the FCC approves, and will let slide other shit you do later on.
the FCC is a monster that has been attacking at will for decades -- the janet jackson superbowl deal just blew the whole thing up, and put it in the spotlight, making the FCC attack under the guise of being "the good guy," just looking out for the public.
meanwhile, stern's daily fans, numbering in the 20-30 million range, seemed to be doing just fine as a representative of "the public"
