Clear Channel carried Stern because they thought he'd make them money. They dumped him because they feared he'd cost them money.

If Clear Channel, or anyone else for that matter, thought they could make a buck by squirting liquified feces out of your radio, CD player or TV into your smiling faces, they'd do it. They care not one whit about morality, only dollars.

That pretty much goes for every other form of business as well, so they're nothing special.
