(9,090 posts)tone down the approach. fox is more 'visible' and gets a lot more attention from liberals and media critics, but often by the time it shows up on fox it might have had days or in some cases months or years of repetition. it also has plenty of competition (within 'acceptable' limits) in the political genre- it's easy to find alternatives for politics- just switch the station.
not so with talk radio.
the last elections should make it clear how important talk radio is. dem talk about messaging content and technique is idiotic - talk radio decides what the buzz is and can yell over anyone as long as it takes.
as far as fixing/destroying it :
-the stoprush actions need to be expanded to all rw stations and their local and national talkers
-no publicly funded school has any excuse for broadcasting sports on rw radio. 25 - 35% of rw stations depend on those schools for community standing and ad dollars. rw radio is losing money and it couldnt survive if those schools started honoring their mission statements and started looking for apolitical alternatives.
-it needs to be monitored and responded to in real time. the top 100 or so need to published/readable/searchable
-their stations need to be considered as places to protest.
-their gods need to be recognized as the true leaders of the republican base and should discredited and
exposed for their years of lies hypocrisy racism and sexism. they need to get the credit they deserve.
