People like Stern and supporters crying "free speech" are the one's threatening our rights by abusing them. Using free speech as an excuse to talk about the worthless CRAP that comes out of that show is to exemplify that maybe "free speech" wasn't such a hot idea after all and does need to be regulated. Even the Press knows that sometimes it's prudent NOT to air something. Just because they have a right to do something doesn't mean it should be done. People of the last 20 years or so seem to have the most trouble with this, whereas the 200 years before that it was just understood. I guess we're dealing with the "weakest" generation now. Maybe that comes along with being the first generation in a long time that hasn't been subject to a draft? Less appreciation and judgment for what's really important. No knowledge of what rights really are, other than an excuse to offend, sensationalize and create BS controversy.
Restraint and judgment = continued freedom
Wanton abuse of freedom = change on the rise (rightfully so)
Abuse it, you lose it. Thankfully, there are some agencies out there taking a stand before it has to go to some major amendments. Self-policing is better than an overall change that will affect the U.S. for generations.
