Re: WBZ
Sven and Eric, Public Service and Decency are morality and what is accepted
as community standards are morality, morality is what society dictates. I
would like to see a return to respecting those standards. Now I am far from
the so-called "Christian Right" but a little decency in radio and television
would be well accepted by the majority of Americans. Stern certainly
doesn't have any. Imus is a little more tactciturn in his approach.
