In reply to the discussion: Trump's Rural Support In Wisconsin Has Completely Collapsed [View all]certainot
(9,090 posts)35. destroy the RW talk radio monopoly w/market demand - it's not enough to vote, GOTV, donate
artificial intelligence makes it easy and cheap to digitize talk radio - the ad industry will do the work once they become aware of how easy it is for activists to record, transcribe, and list advertisers with hardly any listening required.
it wouldn't take much activism for the ad industry to get the message it has to start asking radio ad clients if they REALLY want to support the global warming denial, racism, hate, and ignorance. advertisers will head for the hills and the monopoly will fall apart. a few protests at universities and some boycotting and some press releases alerting the ad industry to this vulnerability might do it - they want those ears and don't want another stoprush - with AI they will be looking at stoprush x100.
RW has perpetuated the myth that the monopoly is a reflection of the market demand for hate and lies ---advertisers will head for the hills and many stations will have to change programming to stay alive
and it wouldn't hurt for students and communities to start protesting anything trump at the 88+ universities that broadcast sports on 260 limbaugh stations. those schools need to be asked what they would do if the KKK bought those stations, because basically they did 20 or 30 years ago
talk radio is the only unique advantage they have and at $1000/hr 1200 stations x 15 hrs/day is worth about $5BIL/year FREE to them - and the kremlin trolls piggybacking it. they know how important it is and democratic and media leadership clearly think it's irrelevant - they need to get the message and they need to start asking questions in their investigations that raise the talk radio issue to democrats.
it should not be considered part of the free speech spectrum as long as it is a well protected and coordinated monopoly. destroying the talk radio propaganda operation will help on every level, every issue, every election. and it will encourage republicans to impeach trump if they know limbaugh and sons are under attack.
