9. "Operated and programmed locally based on extensive audience research"

Apparently this rule does not apply to Howard Stern, whose only infraction (other than having little to no taste) was allowing a caller to say "nigger" before cutting him off. For that his show was yanked from something like six stations and fines were levied.

From what it sounds like, Savage has said a lot worse, only he's careful not to use those hot button words. I'd like to know what market research Clear Bullshit uses to justify this kind of programming.
