He says “it isn’t all poor Mr. Hogan’s fault. The now-infamous email was approved by Clear Channel’s private equity buyers at Bain Capital and Thomas H. Lee Partners.” Not only that: he says Bain and Lee “have dispatched a large team of consultants and other experts to San Antonio to help run the business.” I’ll just pause for a second and let that sink in. The would-be buyers are already helping to “run the business” at Clear Channel.
