A Clear Channel

If your Philadelphia affiliate was thinking this group was an “innocent” non-profit association with no political agenda and no opposition, they made a very big mistake — knowingly or not, they have directly engaged Clear Channel into the gun-control debate.
Bottom line: Billboards were donated to an anti-gun group. It turns out they're not a nonprofit, but a private LLC.

We'll see if that's enough to get the donation pulled. Maybe once some beancounter realizes they can't write it off...

It's surprising a corporation can be this ignorant of who they give to, and still donate so freely. I wish I could say I was surprised that a company that either directly or through affiliates profits off "conservative" voices like Rush, Hannity, Beck, et al, would so thoroughly disrespect the values of their core audiences...
