It's called selective enforcement. If someone is Pro-Bush or just politically neutral -then the FCC does nothing. Even if the words used are in clear violation. That's why they won't go after the documentary where 9/11 firefighters say "fuck" and that's why Oprah will not be fined.
However when someone who is critical of the Bush regime goes into the "grey area" -then the book is thrown at them.
However, it seems politically unfathomable now -because Stern has been such a critic of the FCC. If they silence him now it will seem like they did it just to shut him up.
