This is vaguely audio-related since it ties into censorship and
corporate consolidation of radio. It also suggests an interesting
connection between U.S. foreign policy and cultural politics. I also
think of Howard Stern as kind of a rock star version of the talk radio
host.

Apparently Stern has accused FCC Chairman Michael Powell of getting
his job because his father is Colin Powell. Secretary Powell has
denied the claim. Because of repeated fines by the FCC, Stern is
leaving ClearChannel for satellite radio:

Howard should have also mentioned that the FCC is another one of those
things that government created that has no reason to exist.

He did run as a Libertarian, no?
