You know....Don't like what they said....but they have the right to say it.

Simple answer is, most people (IMHO) differentiate between entertainment and journalism. Most folks expect that journalists, even those with opinion shows as opposed to hard news broadcasters, are held to a higher standard than the likes of Howard Stern. This particular network is a laughing stock, with no audience, despite their attempts to appeal to the lowest common denominator.
