Clear Channel bought hundreds of privately owned stations and laid off thousands in the past 20-30 years.
Job Creators, my ass.

at 'We survived Bush You will survive Obama' on Facebook.

I really think the word really needs to get out on this. Wikipedia has a pretty good article on it.

I remember after the 2000 election; one of the concerns about Clear Channel was that some monopoly regulations had to be gutted in order for them to take over so many markets.

It seems like Tom Hicks was the guy who was putting all this together, and he was the one who basically bought George W. Bush his ranch (indirectly).

So this huge right-wing radio monopoly is really a 21st century creation.

Would anyone like to join me in trying to restore the regulations that were in place before hate radio became so prominent?

But the day after the election I'm going to fucking go off on Facebook and post every hour on the hour about how great it is to see Obama elected for another term. I'm going to do it for 48 hours straight and drive people nuts.
