The FCC is "Kneecapping the First Amendment"

Howard Stern had a guest on his show today who has been doing Freedom of Information Act requests from the FCC to get more information on some of the indecency filings making headlines in recent months. Turns out million dollar fines can be based on the complaints of 3 people.

Jeff Jarvis was a guest on Howard's show today. He was talking about blogging and how you can actually make money off of being a blogger (not that I know anything about it!). There's a pretty funny account of the conversation here.

Apparently there are some new guidelines for indecency which were released in a memo issued by Viacom. Jeff Jarvis wrote about it here. Howard wants to get fired for telling someone to "go to hell."

I'm ready for Sirius.
