Censoring/Editing Words in a song on one station, but not another

But the worst fallout from the Janet Jackson fiasco was in talk radio. When the FCC announced their obscenity crackdown, they were extremely vague on what actually was obscene. In the weeks that followed, many talk show hosts were forbidden to talk about breast cancer fer cryin' out loud. Not because of anything intentional on the broadcaster end, it's because stations were just broadsided by this sudden and extremely vague dictate and management and station lawyers didn't know what to make of any of it.

It pretty much killed "shock talk radio", but damn near everything else with it.
