After decades of spewing filth and division across the airwaves, Howard Stern, the self-proclaimed “king of all media,” might finally be tossed from his throne. The notorious shock jock has built a career on depravity, offensive antics, and a deep-rooted disdain for middle America. Now, it looks like his reign of vulgarity is nearing its well-deserved end. SiriusXM seems poised to let this relic go, unwilling to pay for Stern’s been-there, done-that brand of controversy.
Stern, who once mocked anyone outside his liberal echo chamber, became a caricature of his former self—a liberal elitist slinging insults at Trump voters. He spent years alienating a huge swath of Americans, turning his platform into a cesspool of anti-conservative rhetoric. At some point, that stops being edgy and starts just being pathetic. It’s no wonder his listener numbers have plummeted. No one with common sense wants to tune in just to be belittled.
Let’s not forget his fawning interview with Biden in 2024. Instead of asking tough questions, Stern played the part of a fawning court jester, ignoring Biden’s obvious failings. It was a sad moment for journalism, showing just how far Stern would go to cozy up to the Democratic establishment, regardless of the truth or the nation’s best interest. That sycophantic display was just another nail in Stern’s coffin of relevance.

Stern’s show isn’t worth the $500 million he demanded. The dwindling audience numbers speak for themselves—Americans are tired of his one-note schtick. It’s not a shock that SiriusXM sees no return on this outdated asset. Like many other liberal media icons, Stern has outpaced his usefulness. Even late-night’s Stephen Colbert faced the cut, proving that spouting leftist propaganda doesn’t pay bills.
Howard Stern’s impending radio cancellation marks the end of an era—an overdue reckoning for a liberal media dinosaur. So, will this be the wake-up call for other out-of-touch entertainers, or will they go down with the same sinking ship that Stern clung to for far too long?
