Stern v. FCC Love him or hate him, Howard Stern is the “King of all Media”. In twenty controversial years of radio, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has fined Howard Stern a sum of some 1.7 million dollars. The FCC has been trying to curtail Howard Stern’s free speech rights and they should not be. On several events (mostly early in the show’s history) Howard Stern has used language that was considered “vulgar” and “…showed first 75 words of 529 total…

…showed last 75 words of 529 total…moment…If every time some slug says something that offends us we are thrown into wild expurgatory paroxysms then let's just repeal the first amendment right now and be done with it. And please, spare me the 'my kids might listen' rap because that's why they make radios with dials.” Howard Stern should not be censored because it is against our freedom of speech, and it is against everything we fought for as a country.
