It seems that more shock jocks are under fire. What is worse, Al Sharpton, fresh off his bigoted anti-Mormon comments, is leading the charge against them.
Of course, the ultimate objective is not the shock jocks. It's talk radio as a genre. If they can establish precedents to fire people for causing a firestorm, then it's a simple matter to go from Opie and Anthony to Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity.

Unintended consequences...
Remember how certain conservatives were trying to push "indecency" off the airwaves? Well, folks, there were others who were worried about what else might come - that we were just seeing the camel's nose under the tent.
Dennis Kucinich is now showing us the rest of the camel, along with Michael Copps, the favorite FCC commissioner of many social conservatives.
Yeah, you may have chased Howard Stern to satellite radio. But all because a few conservatives could not just leave it at using their friggin' remotes, we now have a serious risk to alternative media outlets that have served to somewhat correct the MSM's biases.
And now, we have to bail them out of this mess they caused - becuase if Kucinich gets the "Fairness Doctrine" passed, we're back to the days when the MSM was all a person had.
