I heard Rush make a reference to Bain Capital and Clear Channel, but, no way are any of the conservative talk show hosts in the tank for Romney. Consider the source.

LOL. They were in the tank for Romney last time around and they are this time around. He is essentially their boss so they work to balance retaining their listeners and retaining their jobs.

These are the same talking points that Howard Stern used in 2004 when he claimed that Bush was after him, and that’s why he was kicked off of Clear Channel stations.

Just plain stupid. You talk like some one who fell out of a tree.

No, they don't "work to balance" anything but the truth. Just because they defend Romney from errant attacks like Newt's Bain attacks--which were pure anti-capitalism, doesn't imply anything, but that they are dedicated to conservatism and telling the truth--which some self-proclaimed "conservatives" I can think of aren't.

Rush is the single biggest source of income Clear Channel has. They don't move him, he moves them. Without Rush's show, Clear Channel would be just a very unimportant radio network with 1/4 the listeners they have now. Same with the others.

It's funny to assert that Rush is somehow worried about whatever Bain Capital tells him to do--it's even funnier for anyone to believe that they could tell Levin what to say. Anyone who tried that would be in for one hell of a ride.
