IF there is an entry in their contracts preventing talking heads from criticizing the stations
or affiliates it makes sense. Nice cover for Romney if he were management. Interesting to
see where this ends up. Rush has a 400mil contract.

C. Edmund -- wait a minute now. Your words again: Bain is not paying Rush - Rush’s profits are paying Bain and Clear Channel. Anyone investing in Clear Channel is investing in the chance to get a share of Clear Channel’s profits which are driven by their talk revenue, NOT the other way around.

"Rush has a 400mil contract."

So say Rush broke the contract and went nuclear on Bain and Romney. They cancel the contract and Rush is no longer on any Clear Channel stations.

Where's Rush going to be? Clear Channel owns a lot of the infrastructure of his medium. He needs CC as much as it needs him -- maybe even a little more.
