I mainly agree with everything you've said, jerkass.
They put nation above Fred. Neither Fred nor nation should be in the top 10.
As far as Clear Channel goes, the FCC wouldn't understand antitrust aims and economic efficiencies if it him them in the face.

Well, its probably money and time wasted anyway. Satellite radio will soon do to braodcast radio what cable did to the networks. This begs the question, "Do satellite radio broadcasters get the same exemption from the decency standards that the cable channels get?"
The funny thing about this morality policing being done by the family values camp is that all it really does is kill the networks. Pay TV and Radio will emerge as the only entertainment options for normal viewers. If all the good material goes cable because of the lax rules, then so too will the most coveted viewers. The advertisers want the upwardly mobile edcuated viewers, most of whom watch exclusively cable. The networks will have to get by with McDonalds and Pep Boys ads down the road.
And the end result is that cable will ultimately get raunchier. I guess its hard to explain to these conservatives in an election year that try to police morality is like trying to lower the water in a bathtub by pushing it down.
