Agreed. This is typical of mainstream media, who for years only focused on the prurient and racy segments of his show. Much like how Rolling Stone magazine ignored AC/DC for 35 years and then in their waning days decided to proclaim them "the greatest hard rock band ever." Howard has always been a great interviewer, his gift is that he gets guests to forget they on a live radio show revealing things about themselves to strangers. Marc Maron is similar in this respect. If you like interviews his WTG pod cast is great. Anyway nothing "happened" to Howard Stern however it sounds like something "happened" to a journalist at the NY Times.
