How does radio in 2011 deal with this?

[Doug Drown]

The word in question, however vulgar and reprehensible, is so 
ubiquitous nowadays that to censor it is almost tantamount to 
pretending it doesn't exist.  What's needed, perhaps, is a reasoned 
public dialogue on the coarsening of American culture (which, in all 
probability, will be largely ignored). 

Sadly, yeah, I can envision the FCC waving the white flag.     -Doug
