LewRockwell.com Blog: Mitt Romney's VC Firm to Buy Clear Channel


Mitt Romney's firm, Bain Capital, has agreed to buy Clear Channel Communications, the largest media corporation in the country, for the low low price of $19.5 billion dollars. how would one beef up his election coverage? why not buy every pundits owner? get ready for a huge Romney push in the media
