ClearChannel Not to Carry Howard Stern?

BusinessWire is carrying a story that claims ClearChannel is going to stop carrying the Howard Stern radio show under its “Responsible Broadcasting Initiative.” I listen to his show in the mornings. While I’m not a fan or agree with his viewpoints, I see why it’s important to not cenor the media based on one company’s view point. I point to the same shit as when CBS didn’t let the MoveOn ad play: since when did corporations get the power and the moral authority to decide what is decent or not? Federal regulators have always been responsible for content, not companies with a morally decided leadership.
