As some people have said, I think it has to do more with Bain Capital obtaining Clear Channel in 2008. I haven't researched it, but I would suspect that before looking into the Rush Limbaugh connection.

One of these days I'm going to research Michael McCaul (the richest politician in America - congressman (R) from Texas), he married the daughter of Clear Channel executive and co-founder Lowry Mays. I'm sure McCaul is a model citizen/legislature..... Before the selling of Clear Channel, he was intimately involved with the family that owned Rush Limbaugh, Michael Savage, etc... It's probably like having Rush himself in a legislative position ._.
