Clear Channel tacitly supporting pro-war rallies.

Okay, Dee, I just don't understand you at all. WHY does an anti-war rally HAVE to be automatically labelled as "anti-American", therefore making any pro-war rally "pro-American"? The Clear Channel rallies were more or less explicitly for the war itself, no matter how much they'd like to package it otherwise. This is not an issue of patriotism versus anti-patriotism; that's just a convenient rhetorical device that's useful to disguise the truth of what's going on. In any event, Clear Channel has just as much a right to support the war as other media outlets do not to support the war; however, I started this thread to discuss my outrage over the fact that Clear Channel is a purportedly apolitical media-based corporation, and is just further establishing itself as a bastion of corporate conservatism. There's no "ultra left-wing" conspiracy here, just a massive corporation -- NOT regular people, as you try to argue -- proving more and more each day that it's just the mouthpiece of Bush's agendas. Nice try, but your rhetoric just strikes a completely hollow note.
