Boston "classic rock" station sponsors crackpot right wing fundraiser

[SoxFan]

A group calling itself "Tenth Amendment NH" is holding the "Free State Blues Showtime & Revue" in Milford, NH next month. The show features James Montgomery, Luther "Guitar Jr." Johnson, and three bands I've never heard of.

The ad in a Manchester weekly indicates that the show is co-sponsored by Harley-Davidson and WZLX-FM. WZLX is a "classic rock" station in Boston.

Tenth Amendment NH is a crackpot tea party group that calls for NH to "nullify" health care reform and all gun control laws (presumably, that includes the one barring guns in schools).

Why in god's name is WZLX openly helping out a collection of fringe nuts?

3. Is it owned by Clear Channel? Certainly sounds like it. n/t

4. Nope. It's a CBS Radio affiliate

(as is the progressive station I'm listening to right now).

Even Fear Channel has progressive affiliates, though the corporation itself is clearly right wing in it's origins. It was literally funded with Bush Crime Family money (a by product of Chimpy's brief ownership of the Texas Rangers)
