(9,090 posts)has been the mantra from 1500 radio stations for 30 years - aimed at liberals. they put racist liars on every corner and stump in the country and liberals stuck their ear buds in and walked by.
they dominate the buzz in 40+ states with 80+ senators. at $1000/hr x 15 hrs/day x 1200 radio stations it's been worth about $5BIL/year - for 30 years. and that can be and is being coordinated at the local level. except cities it completely undercuts and distorts any national discussion, as coordoinated by their think tanks, etc
why would you think ignoring that would be good for any issue liberals care about?
we let a few hundred ignorant racist blowhards attack protestors and activists and politicians who stick their necks out and because liberals have no clue they blame symptoms of 30 years of unchallenged repetition, like money, voter suppression, media deregulation, etc. bullshit
we let team limbaugh take free potshots at our reps when they stick their necks out, then the media says they're too far left, that the tea party is a natural american reaction to the radical left, and dems are pushed right 10 points, and then the fucking idiots don't vote for them because they're spineless, etc
ignoring talk radio has been the biggest political mistake in history
we even let 88 universities support 260 limbaugh stations!
talk radio is the only major advantage the right has and with AI it also presents the best opportunity to put trump in jail and destroy the modern limbaugh GOP
