his state is dominated by republican (now putin) talk radio and UM (7)and MSU (11) broadcast sports on 18! limbaugh stations. those stations loved gov snyder. those stations all yelled "COVID is a hoax!" for 2 months, killing thousands. they also yelled white lives matter, blue lives matter, trayvon martin and mike brown were thugs, and colin kaepernick and kneeling athletes are traitors. they also yelled lead in drinking water is as over-hyped as COVID
the act of merely questioning that relationship by MM or black athletes would cause advertisers to head for the hills. most rw talk radio stations would have to do something else. at least 260 limbaugh stations depend on 87 universities like that.
MM or any major athlete could destroy the GOP's only unique tool. many of the republicon radio stations would not survive
