(61 posts)Thank you certainot for your persistence with this issue. (a lonely voice in the wind sometimes) You have been spot on- the anger, fear and divisiveness that those stations fueled have done so much damage.
How do we elevate this issue beyond DU? I have seen your comments ignored over the years yet commentators are saying "what can we do?" We have seen our power as consumers and boycotts work.
Maybe this would be an area that Democratic celebs could bring awareness??
(Following the money would certainly show some the ex-resident's puppet master's involvement. I'm not a betting person but I would bet on that.)
But
Do you think it is too late for those who have been listening to RW radio for all of this time? Are they gaining listeners? If the programming changed, these folks will just change the dial. They have been conditioned to think this way and the rural tribalism mostly supports this way of thinking.
I think we have to focus on the disengaged Americans and young people who aren't voting and they aren't listening to the radio or see it's influence.
Tik Tok-(pun intended) Tik Tok- you young folks- this is your future we are trying to save. At least- get your universities to stop airing their games on RW radio.
Love n peace
