Clear Channel

The real problem with Clear Channel Communications is that is owned by Conservatives. Of course there are bigger Communications giants in the US, for example AOL/Time-Warner which is one of the biggest Communications companys if not the biggest Comm. Company in the world,it owns 4 out of the top 10 selling magazines in the US and Europe (e.g. Sports Illustrated, Time etc.), they own the largest Internet company in the world (36 million members worldwide) and probably about one in every three movies released has a tie to their Warner Bros. division. They have way more influence worldwide than Clear Channel. And when AOL/Time-Warner takes over smaller companies many jobs are sent over seas. But hey Celia Wexler AOL/TW is a Liberal run company so there is no need to talk badly about this behemoth oppressive Communications company .

Re: Clear Channel

"el profeta misterioso" must mean "a very wise person" in Spanish, because this is one of the most well written blogs i've seen in a while. Celia Wexler either didnt do her research very well or has a political agenda behind what she wrote.
