And that freedom to express an opinion also applies to the FCC Chair, or so it seems to me.

Rumor: Howard Stern to xxxleavexxx Stay At SXM
- Thread starter Fighting Irish
- Start date
InsideRadio has a follow-up article indicating that interest in Stern is declining. The article also describes what "analysts" believe are mistakes in the way his show has been handled in recent years.

Uhh, no. If Carr wants to express opinions, he's welcome to resign his cushy position and express them all he wants from the comfort of his porch rocker, or (more likely) another upper-six-figure job at the Heritage Foundation. He took the position of FCC Commissioner, then the top job as FCC Chair, knowing full well that when he opened his mouth, he spoke for the Commission and for the federal government on communications policy and regulation. He knows (or should know) that his words will be sliced and diced and evaluated by all interested parties as the explicit or implicit policy position of his agency. He knows he's engaging in intimidation. He knows what he's doing is illegal. And he knows he will get away with it for awhile, since this is the M.O. of everyone else in this mob family masquerading as an administration.
What he seems not to know is, eventually, what goes around comes around. I predict, when it comes around for him, it's gonna be ugly.
Howard Stern: Probably Not the Final Listen
If you were looking for a writing prompt on Howard Stern, the last 45 minutes of his SiriusXM show on August 6 couldn’t have been more helpful. A little earlier, Stern had broken into a show of reruns and was interviewing Metallica’s Lars Ulrich about SXM’s new Mandatory Metallica channel, which...

Only time will tell.
And we can use the same criteria comparing Fox News to MSNBC and CNN: "I guess what they're doing is unbiased journalism. It must be, since the public is viewing."
Ratings have nothing to do with accuracy.
Tell that to Brendan Carr
It's funny that when a liberal voice, Newton Minow, was chair at the FCC, he issued countless evaluations of the "quality of content" of television broadcasts. He was famous for calling television a "vast wasteland"
Quote:
"In a speech delivered to the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) on May 9, 1961, Newton Minow, the newly appointed Chairman of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) by President John F. Kennedy, famously characterized American television programming as a "vast wasteland". Minow's speech, titled "Television and the Public Interest," was a pivotal moment in the history of broadcasting and advocated for programming that served the public interest."
Minow was speaking as the chairperson of the FCC. Why does he have any greater right than Carr?
Or we may get more balanced delivery of news and at least one "Big Three" late night shows that is not virulently against the same party.
It's a good "click bait" news story. But so far, nothing precise from Sirius/XM or Stern.
Back then Elvis’ hips were a huge problem.
He wasn’t talking about news coverage.
. Really. I am going to locate the NSFW clips where he brought on Dana Plato from Different Strokes and had listeners call in and scold her about her sobriety so severely that she committed suicide the following day. I'm going to find the video where he brought on Jenna Jameson when she was 21 and he was 40, insisted that she commit a sex act, she refused 3 times and he kept demanding until she gave in. He found hurting and vulnerable people, then punched down on them as hard as possible, as cruelly as possible, then called it ‘’entertainment.‘’ ‘
Balance in this case equals no criticism of Donald Trump oir the Republican Party.
He was talking about EVERYTHING on TV. There are three of Minow's books at BOOKSHELF ANALYSIS: Commentary and Opinion on Broadcasting, Radio and Television under "Minow, Newton" should you want to pursue this or even just peruse them.
But I thought Gutfeld was getting higher ratings and broadcast TV was becoming less relevant, so why does the government need to do anything about what it seems the marketplace is already doing?
The conservative media is every bit as much the "mainstream" media as CBS or NBC. Especially on commercial radio. And I for one don't want the government involved in determining "balance" in news. Regardless of what party holds the presidency.
Changed my mind. This is a G-rated family -friendly message board. so I will not be linking inappropriate content. - D.
That's not what Brendan Carr is doing. Name all of the investigations he's begun on conservative news organizations.
To him, bias is only one way, from one side of the spectrum. It would be interesting if he proposed a return to the fairness doctrine. But he won't.
Stern should just put together his own podcast. Why try to re-invent the wheel at 71 years old?
Frankly, he doesn't need a "new" audience at this point. Not to mention he's likely been set for life... for years. 🤔
Personally, I think Stern was at his best with The Howard Stern Interview, when the E! channel debuted it in the early 90s. In my opinion, that short-lived series was way better than his radio show. But I digress.

BINGO! That's the problem right there gr8.
Stern would rather retire than do a podcast.
