By the way, as to the number of stations Clear Channel owns (if he means them), I did a quick websearch and turned this up, from no less a source than Rolling Stoned Magazine: "Clear Channel controls roughly 1,200 radio stations" (not 14,000, Mr. Crosby)
http://www.rollingstone.com/news/story/6432174/inside_clear_channel/
From the same Rolling Stone(d) piece: "Critics say the company also has a political agenda, given Clear Channel executives' close ties to George W. Bush and the company's willingness to drop Howard Stern at a time when many media companies are fighting for free speech."
So maybe that's whom Crosby meant.

"Comedian Bill Cosby, opera singer Beverly Sills, country singer Johnny Cash, and anchorwoman Connie
Chung are thinking of starting a band, but they need a name. If you have any suggestions, write
'Cosby, Sills, Cash, and Chung', c/o Weekend Update"--Jane Curtin, Saturday Night Live
Here's a website for one of those "far-right" Clear Channel stations Crosby was talking about. Note the "days until Bush leaves office" ticker, the "Democrat Clubs" sign up box, and the lineup: Stephanie Miller, Ed Schulz, Randi Rhodes... :)
