I actually listen to this show in the morning and this is going to be a very hot topic in the coming weeks. This fine was dropped in their lap yesterday afternoon two years after the supposed offensive events occured, on the eve of a panel on decency. The issue that is being pressed by the host of this show is the fact that the fcc guidelines on what is an isn't offensive isn't clear cut. They are standing by innocent and going to try to force the fcc to give them a more clear cut set of rules in which to abide by.
