That is the error. They are 1 of the actual sources of
the climate of censorship.


Censorship is done by the government. When a company in the private sector
makes decisions on what or what not to play, it's called first amendment
rights.


When the government controls a company and tells is what to do in order to get
rewarded with more station licenses or get punished with not getting those
licenses renewed, then it is censorship.

Don't be fooled into thinking that a company that was making a lot of money
with Stern would decide on their own to drop him and lose money.

The fact that Clear Channel is crying and complaining to the government now
that they are doubly screwed now that Infinity is putting Stern back in those
markets and hurting the profits of Clear Channel stations all the more, should
wake you up to what is really going on here.

Censorship would be the government telling a cable news channel that they
cannot use a particular slogan.


Or telling Clear Channel they can not have any on air talent saying anything
negative about Bush.
