3. Rec.

Clear Channel Communications, Inc. is an American media conglomerate company headquartered in San Antonio, Texas.[3] It was founded in 1972 by Lowry Mays and Red McCombs, and was taken private by Bain Capital LLC and Thomas H. Lee Partners LP in a leveraged buyout in 2008

5. It was bought before the presidential run started

No, there are no coincidences.

6. That's why "Green 960" here in the SF Bay Area cut Thom Hartman

and put in some money guru (Dave Ramsey),that spends most of the time hawking his money seminars and god. We also have Glen Beck instead of Stephanie Miller in the morning. Oh, and don't forget 'The Jesus Christ Show' ... really that's what it's called!

Green 960 was popular and doing well.

It really sucks when RW nuts own the airwaves (that WE actually own)

7. Just for more info...

Mitt Romney is one of the founders and primary investors of Bain Capital LLC.

They also bought out Toys R Us (who are carrying that Archie comic with the gay wedding that the Million moms are so upset about), Burger King, Dunkin' Donuts, Gymboree, Domino's Pizza, Burlington Coat Factory, and many others.

I had to look it up.

Is this legal, even with Citizens United? Charles Foster Kane?
