(9,090 posts)come up with pr campaigns to swiftboat, distort, distract, and then run it out team limbaugh's ass. pretty soon it's part of their alternate reality and we've got guys like trump. waiting forr shit to get so bad is not good strategy. this disaster didn't happen because dem messaging wasn't simple or coordinated or loud enough.
we let a few hundred think tank coordinated liars kick our ass. everythign liberals want to do will be a lot easier once the dem party and the prog orgs get the message they can't ignore talk radio any more. it's stupid, the biggest political mistake in history. they've been wasting donations and activism time.
we can do more than one thing at a time and as i said above - AI just made it a lot easier, faster, and cheaper to digitize talk radio.
rw radio is doomed, it's just up to dems to accelerate the inevitable. it's inevitable that rw radio will be digitized searched and studied. it will have to enter the free speech spectrum, and when the ad industry finds out their clients can easily be listed along with the content - the hate and ignorance - with little listening required - they will have to start asking their clients if they really want to support trump and global warming denial or risk getting yelled at by their clients when they get boycotted or called out. that will scare off most advertisers and destroy the 20-1 monopoly.
the market demand for the hate and ignorance will do it - the ad industry just needs to start getting the message.
any real challenge to rw radio - boycotts and protests at the 88+ universities that support 260 limbaugh stations - will alert the ad industry and they will do the rest.
