Clear Channel Won't Air Progressive Radio Ads (even at full $$ rates)
Advertisements [?]
The story, snipped from BuzzFlash, is below. You can listen to all the ads at this link:

Clear Channel Tramples on First Amendment Rights. It Won't Allow a Modern Day Paul Revere on the Public Airwaves, Even if He Pays.

A BUZZFLASH READER CONTRIBUTION
by Robert Millman

Update: Read Robert's "My Fight with Clear Channel"

BuzzFlash Note: On Monday we posted in the mailbag a letter from Robert about his radio ads. Today we heard the ads, heard that Clear Channel wouldn't air them -- despite that Robert was paying the regular ad rate for them to air -- and had to help. Here's the point of the issue: the airwaves are the property of the American people. The FCC licenses bandwidth, but they are our airwaves. And here is a radio company refusing a person the right to pay to express their opinion. It's like having censors in the Soviet Union. We hope that highlighting these ads brings them wide national coverage. They deserve it. Listen to all seven of them, send the pages to your friends and family, and, if you can afford it, try and get them on your local radio station.
