This will be very short. I don't know how I missed this but, I did. So I'll assume others did as well. Clear Channel Communications, Inc., who carries Rush Limbaugh's radio program to every little AM station in the country, 800 plus of them, is owned by Bain Capital. I have also just discovered that Clear Channel owns Premiere Networks who syndicates Rush, Sean and Glenn. Randi Rhodes as well, to be fair... and balanced. (cough*)
According to Wikipedia:
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
This is not to advance a conspiracy theory, and clearly Mitt Romney is no Silvio Berlusconi, but isn't it just another steaming pile of the ugliness? It's the beast we have become in microcosm.
