7. Sounds like ClearChannel is being ounished for hiring a liberal talkradio
host.

Very suspicious timing.

However, unsurprisaing for Imperial Amerika, where everything is political, lies are truth, and Imperial Stooges are hailed as the greatest defenders of Liberty.

Ironic, this company that banned the Dixie Chicks and all "unpatriotic" songs after 9/11 allows a misogynist like this guy to go over the airwaves. Guess it's all about the bottom line...

9. That's just a plunk in the bucket to them
But it's less than the cost of attorney's fees, so they'll appeal and fight it.
