On the first show of the new year, the Howard Stern Show went through a typical round up of all that is great and good in the Stern universe.

Funny audio clips and enjoyable callers dominated the talk, while news came out that The NY Daily News issued a semi-apology to Stern.

On page six of this issue of The NY Daily News, Howard Stern was called an "idiot" for likening the Sony hacks to the 9/11 terrorist attacks, and he was very upset about it.

He called the situation an issue of yellow journalism, and demanded an apology.

Stern had the article with him, and told Robin that he's sure no one saw it.

The apology was buried in the paper. The apology comes after many letters to the editor supporting Stern, stating that he was owed an apology.
