Many folks aren't aware of the wily indirect connection between iHeart Radio (a Pandora copycat) and Clear Channel. iHeart is owned by Clear Channel, which is owned by Bain Co, which was founded by Mitt Romney… yes, the 'Teapublican' trail runs long and deep. Clear Channel also broadcasts Rush Limbaugh and the 'Hate Radio Parade' (Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck…) on over six hundreds of stations nationwide. Out of his mojo, Rush Limbaugh seems to be marching a few blocks behind the parade due to the loss of sponsors, radio stations, and popularity. In fact, he's tripping all over himself these days and angering the public and vocal celebrities like Lewis Black.
On their Facebook page, iHeart recently put an ad promoting Rush Limbaugh. That did not fair well at all with the page followers. Many were not familiar with the iHeart-Rush Limbaugh connection. Now they are now. Here are some of their comments.
XXXX I am getting rid of I heart now. There's plenty of other stations to listen to and apps also - but if you support this pos we are done. Bye.

oh how the mighty have fallen, here comes the boom when his butt hits te floor after the last sponsor yanks the chair out from under him. these racist shock jocks should by now realize hate only plays for awhile then somebody turns a light on and those who listen begin to hear crickets after the last vitriolic word is said, it gets to be an oldie and moldy use to be, hope he didn't save his money.
