Clear Channel says Rush Limbaugh has right to free speech
Mark P. Mays, CEO of Clear Channel has responded to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) in a letterconcerning Rush Limbaugh. Although respectful, Mays made some definitive points: "I can say, that over the years, Mr. Limbaugh has repeatedly praised the dedication and valor of our brave men and women in uniform. Given Mr. Limbaugh's history of support for our soldiers, it would be unfair of me to assume his statements were intended to personally indict combat soldiers simply because they didn't share his own beliefs regarding the war in Iraq. . . . "
"While I do not agree with everything Mr. Limbaugh says on every topic, I do believe that he, along with every American, has the right to voice his or her opinion in the manner they choose. The First Amendment gives every American the right to voice his or her opinion, no matter how unpopular. . . . As Chief Executive Officer, I support each of our on-air talent's right to express his or herself freely, along as the do it within the confines of the laws set forth by Congress. For this reason, I have not and will not impose my own views upon any of our on-air talent. Doing so would, quite frankly, undermine the integrity of the broadcast, undercut the trust with our listeners that they are receiving the true and honest opinions of the radio host, and more importantly fly directly in the face the right of free speech that we hold so dear. . . ."
