like this crap:

Trump voters lead a mad movement powered by Fox News.


fox is powered by rw radio

the trumpers are like the teabags, dependent on long term unchallenged focused repetition only the rw radio monopoly can do.

his more important point that they're being mischaracterized is important but a guarantee if trump hadn't gotten limbaugh to call it a hoax from the start and led 1500 radio stations in covid, mask, and vax attacks and disinformation we'd be in a completely different place and fox would not be doing what it's doing.

if trump/gop/putin would pay $1000/hr for rw radio, 1200 stations x 15hrs/day would be worth $90M/WEEK or $5BIL/YEAR FREE for them.

putin plays a bigger part in RW radio than people think, and it's probably happening in india, brazil, and mexico at the least

and those US stations are licensed to operate in the public interest - every advertiser, ad co, university and pro sports team that uses them shares responsibllity and guys like boehlert are in position to do something about it
