67. Good Grief, If The Merger FAILS You Will HAVE NO SATTELITE RADIO
And NO CHOICES AT ALL. Get it? Clear Channel is fighting the merger so they can put these companies out of business and limit your choices and limit their competition. It's very simple. You're siding w/ Clear Channel to LIMIT CHOICE. Clear Channel is threatened by Sattelite radio so they want to put it out business.

Seriously, at this point I think you are either arguing for the sake of arguing or you have some other agenda.

Not ALL mergers are bad. Yes, monopolies in general are bad, but this merger would NOT be a monopoly in the classic sense in that the CONTENT is available through MANY other mediums. You have a very SELFISH and NARROW reason for opposing this because you claim you will not be able to get progressive talk in your car (which is specious since you have no evidence to even back that claim up, as a matter of fact, there's every reason to believe you will continue to get progressive radio from whatever entity may come out of the merger). Well, if that's your reason, you should be FOR the merger. If it fails, both companies will go out of business and you will get the opposite of what you claim you are fighting for. You will have NO progressive radio at ALL in your area, becuase sattelite radio will be gone.
