but he also notes that this is a clear channel decision, and not currently related to the feds (he hasn't been fined by the FCC in roughly 5 years -- for the nitpicky scorekeepers, not since a democratic reign).
howard is mostly split politically. he just likes whoever, regardless of alignment. he's the (loud) voice of the regular guy, who can express himself with refreshing honesty. and, like regular people, his decisions can sway and evolve. fir example, he's currently not W's biggest fan... but he also doesn't like kerry (or edwards).
but really, he acknowledges that this is just crap unleashed at the superbowl ordeal. the FCC became "empowered" because of that "outrage" and has become more domineering over its prey. clear channel buckled like a cheap whore, and offered up the stern show, which it "all of a sudden" felt had crossed the line -- despite signing and resigning the show over 6 stations for a number of years, all of which contained content far worse than that of last tuesday.
its just a mess that no politicial will currently support him on.
