The more I think about it, the more I think maybe this is a "hoax" (for lack of better term).
Stern has been complaining for years about how he wanted to quit. He's also producing television and films now.
Recently, in addition to his other activities, he got a new gig. He's now scheduled to do interviews for ABC, despite the fact his show is owned by CBS.
Then stuttering John quits to join "the Tonight Show." Almost as if he knew his days with Stern were numbered.
Right after that, Clear Channel announces it doesn't want to air Stern anymore.
Rather than sue, Stern begins railing on and on and finally latches on to the theory that he was targeted because he criticized President Bush. However, any one who has been listening to Stern for the past two years would know that Stern was a Bush supporter. So that doesn't make any sense. Especially since, as noted above, neither Kerry nor Nader are on his side either.
So why keep going on and on about being forced off the air, for made up reasons...unless you WANT to be off the air?
All of this looks like Stern is using this cancellation as an excuse to get out of his contract to work for ABC full time.
