Reality Check has already shown how Neutral Conservative News Websites Breitbart and The Daily Wire are actually fronts for the Ted Cruz Campaign. In our article The $25 Million Dollar Trump Take Down we clearly show that the owners of those sites donated over $25 Million Dollars to the Cruz Campaign and then use their websites to promote him. But is Talk Radio also on the take? Reality Check dug into Cruz FEC Filings and discovered the Cruz PACs paid a Talk Radio Insider over $8 Million Dollars, and the endorsements of Glenn Beck, Mark Levin and others quickly came in.
The FCC regulates the nations TV and Radio Stations because the signals they use are owned by the public. This is why you cannot use certain words on the radio, stations must have licenses, keep a public records file and make it available, etc.
One FCC rule is 47 U.S. Code § 317 or the Payola Rule. Simply put, Radio/TV Stations and their employees are not allowed to take money to put content in their programming, mention items, talk about candidates, etc. unless that sponsorship is disclosed.
In other words, if a Talk Show host like Glenn Beck, Mark Levin, Hugh Hewitt or others was paid money by a campaign to talk glowingly, defend or endorse a candidate, and not disclose that they were paid on-air to the audience, or the radio stations they are broadcast on, theyd be in violation of the law. The station could lose its license and the host could be jailed and fined.

The backyard fence used to have higher standards of proof. With the miracle of modern communications, the gossip covers the globe at light speed with less accuracy than ever.

Right there.
Levin is a piece of crap that will forever not be listened to in my house. Go to hell Marky Mark.
Lying, election rigging, mistresses and hookers, crazy wife and now a payola scandal? Come on people...what is next? Drug trafficking, sex with children, drowning a bags full of puppies? For anybody with half a brain this is getting really stupid.
What’s next you ask?
My guess is Ted dressed up in a pink bunny suit dancing around the room with tap dancing chickens.
I sure wish you could blast that over the internet - to a billion websites.
Globalist Lyin-Cruz is nothing
but an evil CuboCanadian SPOILER
for the DNC.
Cruz is in bed with Team Romney
which supplies/ed money for his blackmail,
media payoffs, corruption,
and of course, his slanderous whores,
including his Band of Eight.
Ah, brilliant!
After decades of scheming to neuter Rush Limbaugh and similar efforts to wipe out other hosts who are hostile to the left’s destruction of America, it turns out that all it takes is to post something critical of Trump or positive towards Cruz. Seems that now everybody hates Limbaugh, Beck, Levin, et all.
Keep it up. The circular firing squad line forms on your left. And your right.
Thanks for the information. Very interesting.
This has to be true. It is on the Internet.
This is Loretta. How are you 2nd?
Yup, PACs are under direct control of the candidate./s
I would suggest offering golf time and free hotel stays that can be written off taxes. Especially since golf membership is down and few can afford vacations.
Rush is a big win for dirty teddy since he is worth too much to be bought. I think you’re talking about a case of jealousy with rushe. hes simply jealous of Donald Trump nothing else.
Why would Rush be jealous of Trump? For that matter, why would ANYBODY be jealous of Donald Trump? Just asking. :-)
Payola? Hold on now!
Still waiting on that proof that National Enquirer is going to cough up....any minute now!!!
In other words you don’t have it!!
This might also explain why no one has followed up on the Cuban mistress crisis except CNN, MSNBC
Breitbart is most certainly not pro Cruz....they fired their own reporter for going against Trump!!!
I stopped listening to Rush a while back, couldn’t figure out what happened to him, well I know now, he’s over with me, Levin is an idiot, they should have their programs pulled, as to why I read yesterday that Hermain Cain will be replacing Beck on several stations...
