One show is on a subscription-based cable program. The other uses public airwaves and fall under the FCC.
Obama? Seriously?
In my lifetime, it's conservatives that have gotten their panties in a wad over "obscenity" on the public airwaves, not liberals. We like to say whatever the fu@k we want to.
I'd be all for Limbaugh cussing his little tiny heart out all day long on the radio, if he wanted to.
Double standard? Political correctness? Obama administration? Thoughts? Conspiracy theorists are free to throw in your 2 cents.
Federal laws are far more restrictive with regard to obscenity standards for broadcast radio, which Limbaugh uses and is free to users. If he went to a paid subscription carrier like Sirius, he could say whatever he wanted to. HBO is a pay cable outlet and has far more latitude for obscenity and sexual content because they supply paid content.
Sorry, no double standard. Howard Stern ring a bell?
