Default Re: Like the Universe Song....

I agree completely with that song. The FCC is out of control and is basically ignoring all precedent and are rewriting the rules of broadcast radio. If these new rules had been inforced at all over the last 20 years, then maybe I could the sense in it, but just deciding to "crack down" on radio without giving any warning before slapping fines on everyone is plain wrong and borderline illegal.

The worst part now is that radio stations and jockeys are now scared to death to do ANYTHING that may be mildly controlversial, or God forbid, thought provoking. How are Opey and Anthony going to get back on the air with the political climate of the radio now?

I also find it very interesting that the Bush run FCC had no problem with Howard Stern when he was praising Bush for his post 9/11 world politics, but as soon as Stern started being critical he gets fined and yanked off the air.

Remember me saying how I hated Bush's domestic policy? Well there's a perfect example.
