I keep getting email from folks asking if — or why I’m not — outraged by the FCC’s clampdown on Howard Stern. The answer: no. The reason: I don’t care. I listened to Stern a lot in high school, I have friends who are still devoted listeners. I think he can be funny. I also think he’s gotten amazingly scummy over the years, particularly since his divorce. I hardly think he’s being picked upon unfairly, from what I’ve read (which I confess is not much — because of that whole not-caring thing). But none of that matters. If what he did breaks the rules of the FCC then the FCC should enforce its rules. If people think the FCC shouldn’t have those rules, then they should work to change the rules. I fail to see why we should be outraged by the enforcement of decency rules per se. Of course, as many of you know, I’m something of a defender of censorship. But even if I weren’t it seems to me the problem for most people is that A) their ox is getting gored or B) they don’t like the rules. Well, if it’s either A or B, complain about the rules, not their enforcement.
