Many folks aren't aware of the wily indirect connection between
iHeart Radio (a Pandora copycat) and
Clear Channel. iHeart is owned by Clear Channel, which is owned by
Bain Co, which was founded by
Mitt Romney… yes, the 'Teapublican' trail runs long and deep. Clear Channel also broadcasts Rush Limbaugh and the 'Hate Radio Parade' (Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck…) on over six hundreds of stations nationwide. Out of his mojo, Rush Limbaugh seems to be marching a few blocks behind the parade due to the
loss of sponsors, radio stations, and popularity. In fact, he's tripping all over himself these days and
angering the public and
vocal celebrities like Lewis Black.
On the iHeart Facebook page iHeart recently put an ad promoting Rush Limbaugh. That did not fair well at all with the page followers. Many were not familiar with the iHeart-Rush Limbaugh connection. Now they are now. Here are some of their comments.
XXXX I am getting rid of I heart now. There's plenty of other stations to listen to and apps also - but if you support this pos we are done. Bye.

This, of course, is excellent news for the ever-triumphing Limbaugh protestors, petitioners and boycotting public around the country. Limbaugh has been in big trouble since the 2012 on-air
Sandra Fluke bashing. One could say he was one of the instigators of the
'War on Women'. He is paying dearly. Beware.
'Hell hath no fury like that of a scorned woman.' Multiply that wrath by millions of women.
To join the pubic movement in taking Rush Limbaugh down, here are some things you can do:
Sign: Limbaugh Sponsor & Clear Channel Petition
Visit/Like: BoycottRush Facebook Group
Join: The Fight To Flush Rush
Visit: StopRush.net for a list of Limbaugh Sponsors
Thank you,
Kossack Richard Myers. Rest In Peace.
We Will Finish This
Special thanks to Kossack Mannie, for the excellent title suggestion of 'iHateRadio'.
