I agree 100%. These people could have said anything they wanted if they owned the broadcasting source. But since they didn't, the "owners" decided they didn't want what these people were saying going out on their equipment. We are protected from the government against violations of free speech. Free speech doesn't force broadcasters to broadcast things they don't want to.

Now that opie and anthony gave the fcc enough ammunition to start regulating satellite radio, it will most likely become a free speech issue. Right now it's just an employer saying, "Fuck you...we don't like what you did with our equipment, get out". And so far, the government hasn't had a damn thing to do with it.
