First on CNN: Levin says Limbaugh should be dropped from Armed Forces Network

32. How About "Clear Channel Communication" too? As a Military/Right Wing Propaganda organization?

The "Clear Channel" radio network was originally based on the AM "clear channels"; AM stations given license for especially powerful and unimpeded signals, for nighttime ... and natioanal emergencies.

The problem has been, that the emergency station designation, tied many stations, to the military, national emergency situations. And gave the whole thing at times a para-military, right-wing cast. Then, when one "Clear Channel" station in San Antonio - WOAI - began setting up? It set up as a conservative, military-oriented network.

And then of course? Ronald Reagan, a former military propaganist, and then Rush Limbaugh appeared. And the marriage made in hell began. As militaristic/patriotic right wing propagandists ... found their megaphone, their media base. In Clear Channel. Followed shortly thereafter, by Fox.
