Howard Stern is back on the attack. After news came out that CBS and Viacom had made an official response to the Federal Communications Commission's proposed record indecency fine, Stern spoke out in their defense.

CBS contends that neither they nor MTV (who produced the Super Bowl halftime show) had any idea that Justin Timberlake intended to rip off the bodice of Jackson's costume, exposing her right breast, during their halftime duet.

'No one at the network knew, or had reason to suspect, that the halftime show would end with a glimpse of nudity,' CBS said in its filing with the FCC.

Twenty CBS-owned TV stations have been pegged to possibly pay collective fines of up to $550,000 for the airing of the Janet Jackson breast-baring Super Bowl performance.

'...but meanwhile,' Stern pointed out on this morning's program, 'Rosa Parks' lawyer goes on TV this weekend and says the 'S' word several times.' Stern then played a censored recording of Parks' lawyer reading off the obscenity laden lyrics of a rap song on a network weekend news program.

Stern supported CBS's stance, commenting that while the FCC attacks CBS for such unplanned incidents, they do not go after shows like 'Oprah' that do planned programs on teen sex, using graphic slang language that even Stern is not allowed to use.

The radio talk host had been vocal about his displeasure with the FCC and of the Bush administration, and this past October Stern had phoned into the Ronn Owens radio show on KGO 810 AM in San Francisco to talk to his guest, FCC Chairman Michael Powell. The shock jock confronted Powell claiming the attacks were more personal than lawful. The son of Colin Powell dismissed the claims, and defended accusations that he got his job from his dad.

Stern's radio show has received record breaking fines, and Stern fears more will be leveled against him.
