Senator Carl Levin says Limbaugh should be dropped from Armed Forces Network

[cynatnite]

Sen. Carl Levin, the powerful chairman of the Armed Services Committee, said Wednesday he would like the Armed Forces Network to drop the controversial Rush Limbaugh program from its service that provides radio and television shows to U.S. service members around the world.

"I would hope the people that run it see just how offensive this is and drop it on their own volition," Levin told CNN in an exclusive interview in the Capitol.

This makes a bid difference vis-a-vis local radio stations and Clear Channel etc, where Rush is paid for by advertisers. No?
