That's a great question for local Clear Channel management ..who, by the way, is about as unresponsible to public dialogue as it gets.

Olinger and Clear Channel also should indicate why Newman is allowed to treat the public through his dialogue in a way that if directed at another Clear Channel employee would be a direct violation of the company's own code of employee conduct.

what's it gonna take? Darnell Rawlings makes an insulting flippant remark on a NYC radio show about Jews and got canned.

Gunny Bob throws up (literally and figuratively) an incendiary rant about Muslims and there appears to be no repercussion.

Both are Clear Channel stations.

There appears to be a double standard regarding acceptable and unacceptable speech on their stations. Why?

"Clear" (Channel) as a bell... From the article: "Neither Olinger nor Newman responded to Colorado Confidential's requests for interviews and a copy of his Clear Channel contract to determine just who is yanking whom's chain."

Clear Channel wins again. Olinger demurred. Their silence is deafening. Money talks and bull**** walks.
