Romney’s Bain Capital Owns Media Giant Broadcasting Limbaugh, Hannity
It's like Italy, where Berlusconi practically owned the media! & the richest guy in Mexico (and the world) owns practically all the telecom for the entire country. Oh, and we can't forget Rupert Murdoch, who controls much of the spew for the English-speaking world (& moving into S. America & Asia.) Tie up the media & propagandize your way in (as well as buy your way in.)
So . Bain Capital owns CLEAR CHANNEL!
Former Politico.com reporter Ben Smith, now the editor-in-chief of BuzzFeed, called out Rush Limbaugh on Thursday for defending Romney and Bain Capital without disclosing that his employer is owned by the candidate’s firm. “Talk radio king Rush Limbaugh has emerged as a key defender of Mitt Romney’s tenure at Bain Capital, where — his Republican and Democratic critics charge — layoffs at companies Bain owned should be blamed on Romney,” noted Smith. “But Limbaugh hasn’t mentioned his own tie to the venture capital firm: Bain owns Clear Channel Communications, whose subsidiary inked a $400 million, eight-year syndication deal with Limbaugh in 2008.”
