Stern predicts will be run off air for criticizing Bush
Here's some from Friday, March 5, 2004 : Howard said he got a call
from someone who tells him about what's going on inside the FCC. He
said that he heard that the FCC is going to fine him and make it
impossible for his company to keep him on. He said he has to get this
message out before he's kicked off the air. . . .
He said that Clear Channel set him up and threw him to the wolves. He
wasn't under any investigation by the government when they kicked him
off. There's a congressman out there saying that if Clear Channel got
rid of him then Infinity has to do the same to level the playing
field. Howard said that no one has gone to court and none of this has
been declared indecent yet...
Howard said the guy who told him this stuff told him that he was 99
percent sure that the fines would be filed. Howard read an article
about it and said that he is one of the targets that the FCC is going
after. They're also going to fine Emmis and Clear Channel. Howard said
that they're going to reverse their fine over the Bono using the
F-word thing. Howard said that the Government is going to do weird,
odd tricks to pressure his company to get rid of him. There's nothing
that we can do about it either. Howard said that we've already lost
and all he's asking is to remember him . . .
Howard said that the FCC will probably issue the fines over the
weekend. He went on to say that this Senator from Kansas by the name
of Brownback, wrote a letter to Mel Karmazin and asked him why he
hasn't taken Howard off the air yet. This is a guy who Howard claims,
lives with some other politicians in a million dollar townhouse that's
paid for by a religious organization. Howard said that this is
disturbing to him and anyone living in a place like that has to bow to
the pressure of the group. Howard said that the name of the group is
The Fellowship. He read an article and said that these guys are out of
control. They are in congress and in the senate. He said that the
house is valued at $1.1 million and the people living there pay just
$600 a month for rent. . . .
Howard said that he has inside information from the FCC that says
they're going to fine him for something that's 3 years old. He said he
will never be given his day in court. He wants people to wake up and
see what's going on.
