i went to a 365 protest some years back with 500 other people to a state capitol protest and there was NO local media coverage in the major papers TV. if 50 of those had gone to the state radio station, or to the university putting it's logo on that station to help it sell global warming denial, it would have made a bigger impact.
it's total bullshit that our orgs are getttting their asses kicked an dwaste so much of our donations and activism because NONE of them even try to address the talk radio problem. OWS is another missed opportunity for exactly the same reason.
and dem or republican, they're trying to get elected and some democrats actually try. their position and strength to push a sane agenda is directly up against a massive fossil powered MIC and their LOON servants represented by the loon party which is informed, motivated and ordered in large part by a talk radio psyops.
the oil thing goes way back and is big money in politics. but the left has been useless trying to push ANY major reform the last 25 years precisely because they let a few hundred blowhards on 1000 very loud soapboxes kick their ass around and take free potshots all day at their candidates and issues.
my call to that radio station, where their lies and disinformation get challenged in real time happens so infrequently it's pitiful.
