And so it has come to pass. The nation's largest radio broadcaster (and notable Texan Bush-linked corporate campaign contributer) is teaming up with the nation's most insidious TV broadcaster. That's right, Clear Channel and Fox News have joined forces.

According to Forbes:

Fox currently provides one-minute newscasts to 275 stations. Starting next year, it will provide more than 100 Clear Channel stations with a 5-minute newscast at the top of each hour, a nightly news broadcast and serve as San Antonio-based Clear Channel's primary source on breaking national news.

If all options in the agreement are exercised, its radio service could have more than 500 affiliates by the middle of next year... many of Clear Channel's most prominent news and talk stations, including those in Los Angeles, Phoenix, Atlanta and San Diego.

All in the public interest, no doubt.
