I agree with you completely. I don't have a problem with him having an opinion and being "howard stern-esque" when doing his show, but it ultimately comes down to ratings and no advertiser will be reaching me anymore while this terrorism - war junky / nationalist turned shock-rock-moralist is at the microphone.
I didn't hear him "break the news", but I did hear him say "slow murder" about 3 times in a two minute span, which was enough time for me to reprogram the wben button on my presets. Luckily the weather is getting warming and I'll be riding the scooter more often (read: no more radio in the morning/afternoon/night).
