30. no, 1500 coordinated radio stations have been operating outside free speech challenge

operating as an increasingly russian-influenced talk radio monopoly

for 30 years they've been building an alternate reality making excuses for the hate, racism, and ignorance and thinking americans, especially dem and prog leaders in cities, have stupidly ignored it

there is a reason for the excess crazies now and the incredible level of disinformation that puts the white house even close to a putin/trump coup.

there's a reason why we can no longer have a national fact based discussion about anything without it getting derailed by bullshit and million who believe that bullshit just because it can be repeated over and over and over with no challenge.

free press org just filed a petition with the FCC for an investigation of the covid disinformation
