Default Mitt Romney and the Media

Get ready for the big push to get Mitt the nomination!

Does anyone see a conflict of interest here?


Mitt Romney’s VC Firm to Buy Clear Channel



What would it cost to buy the support of just about every nationally-syndicated neocon talk show host in America? About $19.5 Billion, which is what Mitt Romney’s private equity firm, Bain Capital, and Thomas H. Lee Partners have agreed to pay in a leveraged buyout agreement with Clear Channel Communications, the largest radio station owner in the country. This is part of a negotiation that has been pending for over a year.
Clear Channel owns over 1,100 full-power AM, FM, and shortwave radio stations, twelve radio channels on XM Satellite Radio, and more than 30 television stations in the United States. Premiere Radio Networks, which is the largest syndication company in the United States, is a wholly owned subsidiary of Clear Channel and is home to Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, and many others. Sean Hannity recently signed a large multi-market contract with Clear Channel, as well.

It should be noted that Mitt Romney, while no longer the CEO, remains a silent partner of Bain Capital.

morals? Are you talking about the man that said his sons were doing the most patriotic thing they could do for America, helping to get their father elected?

Or the man that lied when he said his father marched with MLK?

Morals indeed.

Why would marching with martin luther king be a good thing? He got shot and died, that doesnt qualify anybody for sainthood.
