I have to give Howard Stern a pass.

I haven't listened to him in over a decade but his show has always been about bad taste, train wrecks, exploitation.

when he was about the only media guy openly embracing this type of stuff, it made him stand out..

If I'm not mistaken,Dana Plato, was troubled when she appeared on Stern, and ended up taking her life soon afterward.

*if the name doesn't ring a bell, she played the daughter on "Diff'rent Strokes" tv show.

I do find it a bit shocking that all these other media outlets are giving a forum to such a troubled man.
