I wish there was Air America Radio

45. Many people are missing my point. It's not about me. I can find programming I like. It's about

right wing radio also reaches many people who are not already rightwingers. if you even accidentally tune in, after just a few minutes you will be out in the streets with a pitchfork.

i know, yes, some people are already inclined to be rightwingers. but the truth is that most of the people in the country tend to be centrists. they/we care about the same things. people are swayed by radio. that's why rightwing puts it there. to brainwash people with lies and to get them riled up.

if there was another station on the dial, that people could accidentally tune in to, to get them riled up about things, based on truth instead of lies, it would be helpful. it would change some people's minds.

there's a reason the right wing does it. it's not just to give people what they already want. it's to sway people and pull people in.

think about it. i bet you know people who are republican, but they're not racist. they're not assholes. they care about stuff. but they have been sucked into a world of lies, where global warming is a hoax and immigrants are taking our jobs and democrats just want to raise taxes. their thoughts and actions are based on lies. they are good people.

many of these people got started by listening to Rush Limbaugh years ago. when they get in the car they still listen to that and when they get home they turn on fox news.

the left is doing very little to counteract this, even though in most cases the truth is on our side.

when you can turn the AM radio dial and hear 4 different assholes demonizing liberals and ranting about something that isn't true, it has an affect. people hear that and nothing else. they think it must be true. why would some guy be on the radio saying it if it weren't true?

if there were some stations that spoke the truth with a similar format, it would suck some good hearted people in the other direction.

that's what we need.
