Host Howard Stern said on Wednesday’s episode of Sirius XM’s “The Howard Stern Show” that because “only 65% of Americans are fully vaccinated” and mask mandates are being lifted, the anti-mask, anti-vaccine Republican “wackos are winning.”

SNIP “I hate the Soviet Union,” he said. “I hate the Communist regime. I always hated Communism because it always turns into an autocratic situation like in China where they cut off your freedoms.” He then spoke about how he “used to love Republicans”. “I voted for many Republicans. I don’t see how I’ll ever get back to that,” Stern said. “They’ve just totally disappointed me and their support of Vladimir Putin, the praise they heap on him. Trump’s praise of Vladimir Putin. This guy’s a f****** animal. I wish he was dead like I wish Hitler was dead.” SNIP

Ted Nugent defended his pal Joe Rogan and attacked Stern on his YouTube show this week, calling the radio host an “isolated jackass” who doesn’t respect “alternative points of view.” “I was on Howard Stern’s radio show going all the way back to the ‘70s, and I’ve watched him turn into an isolated jackass, really, not really respecting alternative points of view and presuming and falsely accusing me, for example,” Nugent said on Wednesday’s edition of the “The Nightly Nuge.” The conservative rocker did not specify what exactly Stern had accused him of, but the two have been prominent voices...

According to the movie “Private Parts,” Howard Stern once worked in Detroit. I was alive at the time, though very young, therefore I have no memory of him. Growing up in Detroit, we were not a city that had his nationally syndicated morning show, so I’d never heard of him until he started doing TV – first David Letterman, then his own local show on WOR on New York and, through the miracle of cable, everywhere else. I liked it. Not because it was great, it was just fair most of the time, but because it seemed to be pushing...

Howard Stern used to be this hardcore, edgy guy. If you were looking for someone who bucked the system and went rogue, Howard was your guy. He was a fighter for free speech and was actually fired several times for standing up for the First Amendment. Howard was brave and courageous. But that man no longer exists. Howard Stern is now a big pharma/government stooge, who is so scared of his own shadow and filled with so much hate and bitterness, he can hardly see straight. Now, instead of fighting for the little guy, you can often find Howard lashing...

Radio personality Howard Stern said Wednesday on his Sirius XM show “The Howard Stern Show” that the unvaccinated who get infected with COVID-19 would be refused service from hospitals.

Some of you will live, but most of you will die. They don’t trust our government. They think that there’s some conspiracy to turn them...

Talk radio legend Howard Stern slammed Oprah Winfrey for having people at her "palatial estate" for dinner parties amid a record surge in COVID-19 cases and the spread of the omicron variant.

CURSES FOILED AGAIN FOR STERN By DON KAPLAN Howard Stern may be coming down with a Sirius case of the bleeps. High-level executives of the satellite broadcaster are developing an internal standards-and-practices document that will set boundaries for Stern and other shock jocks, The Post has learned. “It’s something that’s being taken very seriously," a Sirius source said. Stern's new show also is being broadcast on a time-delay, giving him the opportunity to censor the program which he already has done.

NEW YORK - Doers and doings in business, entertainment and technology: Flash: Newspaper reports baseless rumor? Readers are wondering if the New York Post has done it again. On Wednesday, the News Corp. tabloid reported that Sirius Satellite Radio and XM Satellite Radio were beginning the dance of merger negotiations. But the Post, every Gothamite's guilty pleasure, has a colorful history of shooting from the hip: Last year, the newssheet, famed for its "Headless Body in Topless Bar" front page, became a darling of eBay shoppers when it declared that presidential candidate John Kerry would pick Dick Gephardt as his...

Howard Stern says he was pulled off four radio stations this week for using a pair of newly forbidden words: Satellite radio. Citadel Broadcasting Corp., which aired Stern's envelope-pushing syndicated show, opted to yank the program Monday because the host was devoting too much time to his impending switch to Sirius Satellite Radio, Stern told his listeners. Stern's decision to abandon terrestrial radio is often a topic of conversation on his show. Citadel felt the program had become "an infomercial" for Stern's next employer and pulled the plug, the shock jock said. Stern's show had aired on Citadel stations in...

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Radio shock jock Howard Stern, who is moving to satellite radio to avoid broadcast decency rules, traded verbal jabs on air with Federal Communications Commission (news - web sites) Chairman Michael Powell on Tuesday, charging him with nepotism and undermining free speech. "It is apparent to most of us in broadcasting that your father got you your job," said Stern, who called in while Powell was being interviewed on San Francisco's KGO-AM 810. Powell shot back that his father, Secretary of State Colin Powell (news - web sites), had nothing to do with his appointment. The FCC...

Thanks to his impassioned late-night pleas about health care and gun control, CNN has called Jimmy Kimmel “America’s conscience.” Jimmy Kimmel? This is the man who, along with bro-tastic podcaster Adam Carolla, brought you the Juggies, women in skimpy bikinis who ended each episode of The Man Show by bouncing on trampolines.... A friend insists that Kimmel has transformed from a chauvinistic joker into an empathetic conversationalist. (The friend, in this case, is Howard Stern.) There’s a lot that New Howard has left behind. When his show moved to satellite radio in 2004, Old Howard was like a kid in...
