All of that is def true. Obviously, I don't think the sales team at KROCK were allowed to have an intern beauty competition like the Stern show.Sirius literally allowed Artie to be on heroin for his entire run. Did you even listen to Stern? I doubt Artie was sober even half of the time. His drunken behavior in the Vegas shows of the Krock era would have gotten anyone fired if it was not a show business job. Do you not remember him screaming "faggot" 100x and asking the actor of Vito from Sopranos if he wanted to start sucking cocks and having to he helped to his room?
Artie was a mess pretty early in his run from booze, then used heroin, got into physical fights with employees, was using heroin in the Sirius building, and finally was only let go after a violent suicide attempt. Artie was literally only suspended for being caught with drugs in the Sirius building and getting into a DWI car crash the same week.
KRock and Sirius absolutely allowed employees to be messes. Being a drunken or drugged out mess is not a big deal in show business.
But, Howard would not have been allowed to keep his job if he was as racist on the air as Daniel Carver.
