When Howard Stern is the nation's leading defender of

horribly wrong. But with the FCC seemingly determined

King of All Media has added freedom of speech to his
usual repertoire of pan-anal sex patter. During the
summer, Stern and Clear Channel slapped each other
with multimillion-dollar lawsuits over the $1.8
million in fines the radio empire has racked up on his
behalf and its subsequent decision to drop him. At the
same time, the Senate voted 99 to 1 to multiply the
fines against errant broadcasters tenfold. Now
Congress is trying to neuter the likes of Comedy
Central and F/X by extending the rules against
violence and indecency to cable channels.
