well, we can't regulate everything. As much as the US uses "big brother" they can't control it all just yet. Sure younger kids are up later now, but that isn't the station's fault. It is the fault of the parents for not knowing if their kid is participating on a call-in show with risque topics. I'm sorry but parents really need to accept the blame there.
as for the oprah vs. howard, I'd like to see the notes about the fine. Howard doesn't tip toe around anything, it is his gimmick to be outlandish. And perhaps the person he was interviewing was the one who did whatever it was that made the FCC fine Howard. Technically, Howard wasn't fined, it was the Viacom/Infinity Broadcast. Even if it was the guest speaker, it is clearly written in the rules that stations are responsible for their guests and notifying them what they can and can't say, or in this case, how they can say it.
