Mitt Romney owns Bain Capital. Bain Capital owns Clear Channel, a media organisation, which owns 100's of radio and TV stations. Sheldon Adelson, Coch Brothers, and other oligarchs through Carl Rove invested about $2 billion in the Romney campaign. This money was spend in the media most of which Mitt owns through Bain capital.
