16. 88 universities that are good places to protest because they support 260 limbaugh/trump stations

rw radio is a critical part in this - all those stations are attacking rosenstein and mueller for trump.

the memo was released at 12PM ET so limbaugh could start the ball rolling - not fox.

protests a these unis will give the cons a heart attack.

When one or two university communities begin discussing this absurd situation others will be shamed into following. The GOP and those stations will scream “What about free speech!” Media and politicians that have been enabled and intimidated by those stations for decades will notice. Advertisers will flee Republican talk radio. Some stations will have to switch to other programming, like music or sports talk, and some may offer to balance their talk shows with liberal content. As the Republicon talk radio monopoly falls apart stations will open up for liberal talk.

Below are 88 universities/colleges that help 260 Rush Limbaugh attack public education and teachers while spreading global warming denial, racism, misogyny, and lies.

The number after the state is the number of Limbaugh radio stations in those states endorsed by the listed universities.

The $ figure after the state is the value of Republican propaganda those universities endorse in their states if a 1 hour infomercial or advertisement on a radio station cost $1000 x 15 hrs/day x 5 days = $75,000/WEEK.

Total 260 x $75,000 = $19,125,000/WEEK Republican messaging endorsed by these 88 universities.

Push the 88 universities that endorse 260 limbaugh stations to stop crapping on their mission statements and start looking for apolitical alternatives to broadcast sports on.

Maybe their political science faculties and students can start studying the most dominant political factor in the US the last 30 years.

No publicly funded university has any excuse not to tell their licensing company to begin looking for apolitical alternatives to broadcast sports on.

If the KKK bought the station the school broadcasts sports on what would the school do? 30 years ago it might as well have been the KKK, the NRA, and Putin who bought up 1000 radio stations to create a propaganda monopoly.

What excuse does a publicly funded university have for letting Republican radio stations use its community credibility, athletes, and logos to:

— deny global warming?

— try to defund public education and oppose student debt relief?

— attack black athletes who kneel?

When one or two university communities begin discussing this absurd situation others will be shamed into following. The GOP and those stations will scream “What about free speech!” Media and politicians that have been enabled and intimidated by those stations for decades will notice. Advertisers will flee Republican talk radio. Some stations will have to switch to other programming, like music or sports talk, and some may offer to balance their talk shows with liberal content. As the Republicon talk radio monopoly falls apart stations will open up for liberal talk.
