10. wall street media starts at the local RW radio station- that's where the heavy lifting is done

and as long as the left ignores that fact and there is no effective organized opposition to it they can continue to decide what is and what isn't acceptable in US media and politics.

the RW 1% radio monopoly will take a big hit merely if the left begins shaming the many universities that broadcast sports on those stations and endorse its coordinated repetition fed from the think tanks. the association with limbaugh alone, for the hate and racism and sexism and partisan lying, and the global warming denial especially, when held up against the mission statements of those universities should be a good case for demanding they break those contracts ASAP. the local advertisers will follow and they will be forced onto RW welfare, go broke, or have to balance their programming.
