(9,090 posts)kentucky out of business. that would be kentucky's right wing talk radio stations.
they can be recorded and transcribed (easy and cheap now with artificial intelligence) and their advertisers can easily be listed with little listening required. the global warming denial and racism and sexism and immigrant hate and attack iran chickenhawking that intimidates and enables republicans and media in kentucky (and the country ) to side with mcconnel and trump can be directly associated with the advertisers that pay for it. many of them are being bundled onto those stations to save money, and so ad agencies can use those huge mega stations to reach all those ears without giving clients a choice.
rather than have their clients hassled and embarrassed the ad companies will have to start asking if they really support trump, mcconnel, etc. - that will cause a mass exodus unless the radio stations start offering balance or change programming. the ad agencies will encourage it. without that talk radio propaganda monopoly in rural states like kentucky the GOP and mcconnel will lose the only unique advantage they have.
and these two universities endorse mcconnel by broadcasting sports on 3 limbaugh stations and can be protested - Louisville 2, Kentucky 1 (from republiconradio.org: a list of 88 universities supporting 260 limbaugh stations)
