Mitt Romney News: He Is Lying His Way To The GOP Nomination

"Romney has a monster advantage over the other GOP candidates, because he still holds his connections to Bain Capital. And Bain Capital owns Clear Channel Radio, the syndication machine for Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck"1) Romney and Bain CapitalRomney hasnt worked for Bain capital since 1999, and Bain had bought a portion of Clear Channel Communications in 2008. Romney left Bain in 1999http://en.wikipedia.org...http://thinkprogress.org...http://www.rove.com...Bain didnt buy CCC until 2008http://en.wikipedia.org...http://www.clearchannel.com...Bain is merely a co-owner of CCC, The other owners are the "Thomas H Lee Partners"http://www.clearchannel.com...http://www.clearchannel.com...What does all of this mean? It means that Romney doesnt have any direct influence over CCC because the company (Bain) that bought a part of CCC in 2008 had bought the company 9 years after Mitt Romney had already left the company for his own endeavors. 2) What is Clear Channel Radio?Clear Channel Radio is a fragment media outlet that makes up a part of the Clear Channel Communications organization. They specialize in communication media and outdoor advertising (billboards and whatnot) but the company does own a large share of shortwave radio stations on XM Radio. How does this company relate to Hannity, Beck, and Limbaugh?Hannity - Not connected to Clear Channel Communications at all, his contract is actually with CCC's top rival, Cumulus Media, who owns Sean Hannity's radio talk show. http://en.wikipedia.org... http://en.wikipedia.org... Beck - Only connected to CCC through Premiere Networks, who operates Beck's program and is its own program that is business partners of CCC. http://en.wikipedia.org...Limbaugh - Also only connected to CCC through Premiere Networks, much like Glenn Beck. http://en.wikipedia.org...So not only does CCC not own any part of Hannity's radio show, but they are only business affiliates of the media companies that broadcast Beck's and Limbaugh's shows3) Media manipuation?Now if it can somehow be argued that Mitt Romney controls Bain (that he left 10 years ago) that co-owns CCC (which bain bought 9 years after Romney left) and CCC (somehow) can control radio hosts who answer to other media corporations completely, are the three radio giants the Pro mentioned even endorsing Romney?Glenn Beck sure isnt, he remarked how Romney scares him and leans a little towards Gingrichhttp://www.theblaze.com...Hannity meanwhile hasnt said anything about who he is endorsing at all. Limbaugh on the other hand ALSO endorses Newt Gingrich, not Mitt Romney. http://www.cbsnews.com...So to recap at this point, the Pro thinks that Romney is using connections to a company he hasnt worked for in 10 years to control a media corporation that they only have co-ownership of for four years, to manipulate Hannity, Beck, and Limbaugh to endorse Romney but in reality they do not actually endorse Romney at all....4) Romney tricked Latino Vote against Gingrich "In Florida, Romney used his Clear Channel connections in the Spanish-speaking community to smear Newt Gingrich in a Univision interview."The Univision interview in question here was a one-on-one interview with Newt Gingrich and a reporter who was asking questions on behalf of the latino audience. The controversial stances and arguments he gave though were reported and broadcasted by EVERY MEDIA source that heard about it , not just CCC.... That interview was given attention by the New York Times, Occidentaldissent, The Huffington Post, the LA Times, and Univision Communications themselves, the largest spanish speaking news source in Florida is its own independent broadcasting company and in no way is affiliated with CCChttp://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com...http://www.occidentaldissent.com...http://www.huffingtonpost.com...http://www.latimes.com...Romney not only had absolutely no control over how the interview was re-broadcasted, but he didnt even need to slam Gingrich because Gingrich dug his own grave on that one. 5) How does Romney get so much support?"Control of the media's message is the way Romney is getting it done"Oh really, have you even considered anything else about how he is doing so well? Romney is seen as the most moderate candidate who has the best chances to go against Obama because everyone else has at one point completely shot themselves in the foot and have lost respect of voters due to mistakes and scandals. Romney could be leading the polls for any number of reasons which include his economic policy, his work regarding the state of Massachusetts, his likeability, economic policy, tax plan, foreign policy stance, it could be anything. Anything EXCEPT a mass conspiracy that he somehow controls the conservative Media...6) Conspiracy bullsh*t"The conservative media is owned by Bain Capital and Romney cronies."According to an article you read on reddit.comThe conservative media is massive, and Bain only co-owns a share of one media company involved in one part of the media where the talk show hosts the company affiliates with dont even endorse Romney, have criticized him on numerous occasions, are not controlled by the companies who broadcast their radio shows, and are not all under the control of Mitt Romney...For the record, how does this count as "Lying His Way To The GOP Nomination"? As far as im concerned this is another half-brained conspiracy theory that doesnt involve "lying" at all, please stick to the resolution....
