Reply #72: However, CC is not a "news" broadcaster, they don't have to fake balance

Additionally, how has CC been "hit hard for being right wing"? It doesn't look like CC is reeling from any punches.

"It wants the same believability which Fox claims. So Clear is trying to clean its right wing image by supporting liberal shows.

I still think that you are reading far too much into this.


"and in reference to the Fox/Clear Channel deal... "

hmm.. so Fox isn't supplying news to all of CC's stations, just some of the news and talk stations.

"Starting next year, it will provide more than 100 Clear Channel stations with a 5-minute newscast at the top of each hour, a nightly news broadcast and serve as San Antonio-based Clear Channel's primary source on breaking national news."

"Clear Channel, which operates 1,200 stations, did not immediately return a phone call seeking additional comment."

So, clear channel operates 1200 stations, and Fox is going to provide news for over 100 of them. Wow. That's really scary. :eyes:
