Holy Fuck Me Harder!

257. the irony is that the regulation and atmosphere needed to fix this shit is still

very dependent on democratic feedback that is severely distorted any time they want because the left continues to ignore their best weapon- the rw radio monopoly.

that might be a standard business tactic by a republican owned big biz toward smaller competition - ('a republican owned big biz' might include a govt...)

it's implied in an e-business handbook i read through that it can happen, and i heard a caller to a computer tech show ask the host how they could stop a competitor from abusing social media to trash them - the assumption was that it was unwarranted and not unhappy customers po'd about an asshole business owner, etc....

i myself have posted comments about businesses associating themselves with limbaugh radio stations- but i wasn't lying

that a govt agency would do it is the big problem, although elements of govt (along with the rw stink tanks) have probably been using RW talk radio very effectively for 25 years- including paid callers to increase recruiting and keep 'defense' spending high, help lie us into wars, drum up fear of terrorism, attack their critics, deify their operatives, etc. altho 'defense' contractors might be more likely to do that.

ultimately the rw radio monopoly is still much more effective for the corporate interests than a still relatively free internet for most objectives - enabling and intimidating politicians and media, selling frames and memes, swiftboating opponents, except maybe using social media for attacking their 'enemies'.

it has been used to fill the GOP with sycophants and loons that will continue to obstruct real reform on any major issue (look at US history the last 25 years since reagan killed the fairness doctrine- the rise of ALEC for one). we'd be a hell of a lot better off now if talk radio wasn't practically invisible to the left, because it can't be read and it hurts our heads and ears.
