-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----<br>Hash: SHA1<br><br>Hi:<br><br>Here are articles online that show how Bain Capital and Clear<br>Channel are the money behind the biggest conservative talk show<br>hosts in America. Limbaugh, Hannity, Beck and others paid by Clear<br>Channel and Bain Capital have supported Romney's candidacy and have<br>smeared Gingrich for months. Newt is not getting a fair<br>opportunity on conservative talk radio, and Bain/Clear Channel is<br>the reason why. The conservative talk radio "paid bias" against<br>Newt is affecting the GOP nomination process this year.<br><br>There are two types of radio markets in America these days:<br>1) Big corporate-owned radio stations with syndicated programming<br>2) Regional radio shows produced at a more local level<br><br>Florida radio talk show host, Shawna Vercher, has recently<br>published this article about the connection between Bain, Ronney,<br>Clear Channel and
conservative talk radio:<br><br>"Are Republicans going to let Bain buy the nomination?"<br>http://www.newstalkflorida.com/are-republicans-going-to-let-bain-<br>buy-the-nomination/<br><br>No wonder Limbaugh and the conservative establishment wanted Newt<br>to stop talking about Bain: They were afraid that he would uncover<br>the whole truth about Bain's connection to the 850 radio stations<br>broadcasting the anti-Newt message coming out of conservative talk<br>shows.<br><br>Suggested talking points:<br><br>1) Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity both received syndication<br>contract renewals through Clear Channel before the 2008<br>presidential race to subtly keep Romney away from scrutiny on the<br>airwaves.<br><br>Hannity's syndication deal (June 2008):<br>http://radioequalizer.blogspot.com/2008/06/sean-hannity-show-in-new-<br>three-way.html<br><br>Limbaugh's $400 million syndication deal
(2008):<br>http://www.buzzfeed.com/buzzfeedpolitics/limbaugh-defending-romney-<br>has-bain-tie<br><br><br>2) Bain Capital purchased Clear Channel in November 2006, shortly<br>before the 2008 election, to control the political content on over<br>800 radio stations nationwide.<br><br>Supporting articles:<br><br>http://presstv.com/usdetail/221076.html<br><br><a href="http://clearchannel.com/Radio/PressRelease.aspx?PressReleaseID=1599&" target="_blank">http://clearchannel.com/Radio/PressRelease.aspx?PressReleaseID=1599&</a><br>p=hidden<br><br><a href="http://www.dailypaul.com/28537/exposed-romney-bain-clearchannel-" target="_blank">http://www.dailypaul.com/28537/exposed-romney-bain-clearchannel-</a><br>limbaugh-connection-add-drudge-too<br><br>Bain listed as co-owner of Clear Channel:<br>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clear_Channel_Communications<br><br><br>3) Mitt Romney has continued involvement with Clear Channel through<br>Bain.<br><br>Supporting
article:<br>http://cincinnati.com/blogs/tv/2012/01/12/mitt-romey-bain-capital-<br>and-clear-channel/<br><br>4) Limbaugh, Hannity and Beck have all smeared Newt for bringing up<br>Romney's Bain Capital past. They wanted Newt to back off from the<br>bigger problem that Bain and conservative talk show hosts are<br>connected financially.<br><br><br>5) In the 2012 race for the presidency, Bain and Clear Channel have<br>created what they think is an impenetrable wall of misinformation<br>by controlling the message coming out of conservative talk radio.<br>Since most conservatives listen to Limbaugh, Hannity and Beck every<br>day, Bain and Romney know that controlling the message on the<br>airwaves is the best way to control information from trusted<br>conservative news sources. It is an unfair, dishonest and<br>underhanded advantage that Bain and Clear Channel have been<br>planning for over five years.<br><br>Supporting
articles:<br><br>http://www.thenewamerican.com/usnews/politics/10547-romneys-bain-<br>capital-owns-media-giant-broadcasting-limbaugh-hannity<br><br>http://www.dailypaul.com/203381/limbaughs-400m-contract-dissuaded-<br>him-from-criticizing-romney<br><br>6) Unless Newt finds a way to expose the Bain connection to<br>conservative talk radio, he will not win the nomination. Florida<br>is THE best place to bring this story into the national spotlight.<br><br><br>Here's the big question: How can the Gingrich campaign expose the<br>Bain-Clear Channel connection without having Newt take the heat for<br>exposing the truth? Millions of conservative Americans listen to<br>Bain's silent message on conservative talk radio: "Only Mitt Romney<br>is acceptable as the GOP presidential nominee."<br><br>My feeling is that Newt needs to find some way to bring out this<br>issue now. He could say that it is another example of how the<br>media is controlled
by the elite establishment. There is so much<br>evidence already on the internet to back him up.<br><br>Thank you.<br><br>-----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE-----<br>Charset: UTF8<br>Note: This signature can be verified at <a href="https://www.hushtools.com/verify" target="_blank">https://www.hushtools.com/verify</a><br>Version: Hush 3.0<br><br>wsBcBAEBAgAGBQJPIFhKAAoJEESWflBBi6QAfH4IAKkMUC+9tsmxNlFjacvaFZOOmKE5<br>RH5+fGhRcqVziJdA+4IDfnCFJZH4S9xPUk1brKVGt8taUZeg7nlak4nIvRUEgxG8VFuN<br>hioHL+/HkqgnPSm3tX/FlIOS2nbSicg+X8/+vrYBAQKrw/T/lh2P1wR8us1gEO7UCbrD<br>A3EGDgf8EOB2fM76w2qSW5il3GcJ6jfxc6GEHU6pfhew0m+b292Dvu9ZnOrzeKRbQ8n3<br>y71EmlGW36uvkIZ+3LqekArgbGHo5N3XaVEr89L7FffFGZRrwLcWwiJIr65uSFQKDmlG<br>H3ePbRYRQpO+0ogf2g6ywYNCcqGXodLR3gn0IMGeHRs=<br>=+yH8<br>-----END PGP SIGNATURE-----<br><br>=======================================================<br> List services made available by First Step Internet,<br> serving the communities of the Palouse since
