28. if cons paid $1000/hr for radio time to move the center right, 1200 stations are worth $5BIL/year

FREE, paid for by local and national advertisers, most of which would be easy to scare off if any of the major dem and liberal orgs tried.

moving the center right is what they've been doing successfully for 30 fucking years because the 'left'/dems/progressives/liberals ignored it. the biggest political mistake in history, blaming symptoms of that constant coordinated messaging - like deregulation, money, voter suppression, fox etc....

two things for sure -
1) real democracy is impossible while it is ignored
2) getting trump out would be a hell of a lot easier if politicians of both parties saw the left protesting and boycotting RW radio stations and protesting the 88 universities that support 260+ limbaugh stations

Great post. But far left and far right have to do with ideologies, not general goodness & fairness. Honeycombe8 Jun 2019 #40
