How as a Country are we going to EVER come together?

15. For quite some time I've had concerns about why so many

on the left and Dems. seem largely indifferent to the 30-year power and influence of prolific, free Fox TV Stations and RW Hate Radio. Hardly a month passes that the topic doesn't come up in posts, but still nothing happens.

Consolidated extreme right news media controls 96% of the Radio market, 1,500 Stations with 300 Talkers going at it night and day, as one DUer on top of the issue wrote again today.
These ultra conservative radio stations and Fox television are aired all over, easily accessible to millions of Americans in their cars, at hotels, airports, businesses, even dentist offices and on college campuses.

Americans throughout the US now have very few other broadcast news choices, especially in the last five years. Millions of people have been profoundly affected by the lies and hate, many of them for decades. In the last 20 years the internet has also become an outlet including newer venues that promote Alt Right views especially designed to attract young males.

Why has there been no serious effort lately to counter the behemoth which is effective but clearly divisive and dangerous for democracy? Interested individuals and groups with the resources to create alternative, truthful media venues, esp. in broadcast must exist, somewhere. Claims that 'Air America failed' and Nothing can be done, 'wingers don't read' are often heard and unsatisfactory. Similar to comments Re freedom of speech, the FCC, ignoring the Sherman Anti-Trust Act since Reagan, the 1996 Telecom Act.

There must be a way, this can't be insurmountable but what's the obstacle? I really must be missing something significant. Anyway, the entire subject remains puzzling. Thanks and Signing off!
