Wouldn't it be great if a Republican presidential candidate could just buy the support of just about every major conservative talk show host in America?

Clear Channel owns more radio stations (850) than anyone else in the United States. They also own Premiere Radio Networks, the company that syndicates the radio shows of Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and Glenn Beck, among others. Well, it turns out that Bain Capital is one of the primary owners of Clear Channel.

In fairness i must say I have heard Rush, Beck, and Savage being critical of

.
So I don't believe them to be totally haltered.
But it does raise a troubling question.
Is Bain Capital's ownership of Clear Channel and Premiere benefiting

?

Can one endorse a candidate by not directly endorsing them..i.e. by attacking the competition?
By a form of stealth promotion?
Could it be so sophisticated that it would be hard to detect?
