I don't know...it just sounds a bit fishy to me.
I don't have any detailed information on this case so I can't claim absolutely that this reporter's case has any merit. I would like to keep up with it to find out what the facts are. I just hope I have the opportunity to do so. Why do you regard them as evil?

No company pressure on this Clear Channel employee. Mind you, the local & regional management is given fairly wide latitude.
Maybe my perspective is a bit tainted by experience with my local market - Tulsa, OK. The station manager for KFAQ (Michael DelGiorno, who insists on being the morning DJ) is the apotheosis of the crazed neo-con fundy screaming nitwit. The rest of the line-up is Glenn Beck, O'Reilly, Rusty Humphries, and Michael SavageWiener. The other Clear Channel station has Limbaugh, Hannity & Dr. Laura. KFAQ is also linked to Fox News.

Didn't Clear Channel sponsor those pro-war rallies a couple of months ago? Did you not have one in your town? Glenn Beck came here and they were passing out anti-Dixie Chicks signs, flags, and other propaganda posters.

I would like to think this is nothing more than market forces at work, I'm not generally prone to conspiracy theories - but in this case I'm skeptical.

What is the format of your station, Grumpy?
