...mine's a small, oft-told tale of inside baseball, office politics, double standards. . . but you know what?? My case also represents a troubling template for the future.?We know about Howard Stern, Bubba the Love Sponge and a Chicago DJ named "Mancow," raunch-shockmeisters all, awaiting FCC rulings. More insidious is a climate of fear so pervasive even public radio knitters are being axed.? While I won?t be sending KCRW any love letters soon, I understand their worries.? Now that the FCC has raised the fine per incident from $27,000 to $500,000, it?s one slip...
