(9,090 posts)and then there's all the hillary hate and for instance, weeks of unchallenged attacks on anita hill and christine blasey ford to get those shits on the supremes, etc.
the 2010 election was another good eg of the astounding stupidity, incompetence, and irresponsibility of ignoring rw radio. the new dem voters fell for the national rw buzz that obama considered himself a messiah who could bring everyone together but he couldn't close guantanamo, couldn't get us single payer, etc, so why vote. and a lot of naive purist idiots didn't so we lost congress. limbaugh led 1500 radio stations making sure no republicans could cooperate with obama/dems and at the same time sold that shit. only ignored rw radio, free for the GOP/ALEC/federalist society and endorsed by many of the universities a lot of non voters were going to, could do that.
the social media attacks, with russian help, on hillary, piggybacked years of rw radio repetition. i was seeing some of that coming from democrats/liberals on liberal blogs, repeating that same highly exaggerated crap, whether they were really bernie supporters or trolls.
