In reply to the discussion: Who would have believed that millions could gobble up so much bullshit? [View all]certainot
(9,090 posts)27. 1500 coordinated unchallenged radio stations, invisible to dems and city-dwelling media and
progressive leadership.
at $1000/hr 1200 radio stations x 15 hrs/day are worth $90MIL/week or about $5BIL/yr - ignored, unpolled, and unfactored for 30 years - analysts might as well have been studying fish without water
that is the difference. it is the only unique advantage - most of the complaints are aimed at the symptoms of ignoring that.
how ironic that while we are having what seems to be a real sea change after george floyd we continue to let 87 university and many pro sports teams broadcast on and support hundreds of rw radio stations - using black athletes to attract advertisers for KKK stations.

Well put, and I think that's been the real question at least since Bush v Gore.

A complex question worth of two Nobel prize. One shot is the symbiosis with faux news.
