Everybody is talking about the “zombie” hackers who broke into radio’s Emergency Alert System (EAS).

But no one is paying attention to the hacks that are about to use the so-called Clear Channel Employee Engagement Survey results to totally reshape the company.

They managed to bully most of 73% of their terrified employees to “voluntarily” take the online survey. 

And John Hogan, Clear Channel bad cop (CEO Bob Pittman is the good cop) sounds like a man of the cloth when he talks in the soothing terms he used in a recent follow-up employee email.

Don’t fall for the schmaltz.

I know how Clear Channel is going to use all that warm and fuzzy employee engagement stuff to get what they really want – not what employees’ think they want.

Let’s have John Hogan have a seat on the psychiatrist’s couch for a second to analyze his brain.

Okay, well then, his mind.

Alright, then – his motives.
