Those are my sentiments exactly. Despite the assertion of others on this
thread, I don't really see how this *isn't* a free speech issue; while I,
or others on this list, may not like such programming, it should still be
allowed to exist. And, as Rafal points out, it seems that the station had
no choice to fire the shock jocks, lest their license be removed.
Thanks for making my point so much better than I did, Rafal.
