Politico.com raises questions about talk radio and think tanks

Politico says the conservative political Heritage Foundation spends about $2 million with Premiere’s Rush Limbaugh Show, and about $1.3 million with stablemate Sean Hannity. While Mark Levin’s show features ads from Americans for Prosperity. And Glenn Beck may be a paid spokesperson for a different organization, FreedomWorks. Politico doesn't say there’s anything improper about the sponsorship deals. However, the question for the FCC is disclosure. Is it clear to the audience that something on the air is being paid for, and who that advertiser is?
