    Do you have an sources for that?

   MP> loud enough, it just may work.   
      
    "They" can say anything they want, doesn't make it true.   
      
     It probbably won't get that far, Kimmel, and Cobert are in a good position,   
   where they can just go to other platforms not controlled by the FCC and take   
   their audience with them, and have probbably gained a few out of all this.    
   Simmilar to what Howard Stern did when he moved to Sirrus Radio.   
      
     This is still a hit to the 1st amendment, and fromt he looks of it, it won't   
   stop here.
