*This company won't be a poster child for indecency.*

Way to take the moral high ground Mel, you subservient bitch.

H.R. 3717, the Broadcast Decency Enforcement Act of 2004 will raise the _per offense_ fine by the FCC from $27,000 to $275,000. The act will also give the FCC the power to revoke the offending broadcaster’s license. I’m sure Viacom could absorb 27K on Stern as a cost of doing business, but 275K? Stern’s raking cash for Viacom, but 275k may even be too rich for Karmazin’s blood. I’m sure the threat of losing the right to broadcast out of KROC has crossed his mind as well…So, is protecting our precious minds from *indecency* motivating him? Please. I heard today that Clear Channel is rewriting all of it’s contracts with talent so that they (the talent) will assume all financial responsibility for fines levied by the FCC.

These organizations need to grow some balls. I would think, no, I expect a media conglomerate like Viacom/CBS to champion free speech and protect the first amendment instead of satiating puritan interests. Things are getting ridiculous under the current administration.
