NY Times Reveals Link Between Clear Channel And Pro-War Rallies
Media conglomerate Clear Channel, which operates many radio stations in the Bay Area, has orchestrated "Rally for America" pro-war demonstrations around the country.
Paul Krugman detailed in his colum in today's <i>New York Times</i> how Tom Hicks, vice-chairman of Clear Channel Communications, is behind pro-war rallies that have been presented as independent initiatives by local radio stations. Interestingly enough, most of the stations in question belong to his group, which in the Bay Area owns KMEL-FM, KYLD-FM (Wild 94.9), KABL-AM, KKSF-FM, KISQ-FM (KISS-FM), KUFX-FM (KFOX), KSJO- FM, KIOI-FM (Star 101.3) and KLDZ-FM (Channel 104.9).
This is hardly surprising, considering Premiere Radio Networks, Inc., a subsidiary of Clear Channel Worldwide, publicized last week "Glenn Beck's Rallies for American Troops". Premiere Radio Networks also syndicates Rush Limbaugh and Dr. Laura's programs across the country.
Like many other media outlets, Clear Channel offers war coverage, particularly thanks to Houston-based KTRH-AM reporter Aaron Katersky, who is currently embedded with the Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 533.
