Clear Channel adopts more liberal programming

Clear Channel now has 22 liberal talk radio stations and plans to have 20 more by the end of the year. Clear Channnel is, of course, a completely red company.
Clear Channel chief executive Lowry Mays and his wife gave 65-thousand dollars to the Republican National Committee in the last election cycle -- and two-thirds of the company's federal donations went to Republicans -- according to the Center for Responsive Politics.
The company says politics aren't involved in its decision to put liberal talk shows on the air.

Money puts liberal politics on the air. In Portland KPOJ-AM went from 1% to 4% market share when it switched to liberal talk. In Chicago, the WDTW General Manager commented about switching to liberal talk radio,
We are a blue state and a blue region and it just made sense.
Money talks, doesn't it? Just Buy Blue.
