The only censor of Stern is - himself. Public airways are owned, obviously, by the public. Being "conservative" or "traditional" is not the only premise for requiring adherence to public standards of decency and propriety. Swagger around nude in front of an elementary school and see how long you last. The analogy is appropriate - Stern's broadcasts can be heard by youth. The only thing Stern has to do is clean up his mouth - the responsibility is on him. Words and actions have always had consequences.

Socialist.
The government sets the airways aside as property. Once it leases that property in the form of licenses, it should step back and allow the free market to flourish.
