(18,186 posts)"But NOBODY listens to the radio!" is the most common excuse I hear for letting evil people take over our commons.
To which I say: "Okay then, how would you feel if we take some obscure national park you love to visit and let the Westboro Baptist Church take it over and plaster their signs everywhere? Because people hardly use that park, so why should you be offended if every time you visit your favorite nature spot you see Westboro hate speech everywhere? Who cares?"
Radio waves are the commons, and the incompetent, corrupt FCC (yes, FCC, you are nothing more than drooling goons who do NOTHING for the American people) along with apathetic US citizens have let the haters have their commons with nary a peep.
Free speech? HAHAHA!!!! Try giving your opinion on an American talk show! HA! The nation voted for Obama, but I have not heard an Obama voter or supporter say a WORD on American hate radio in YEARS. If you are a Democrat or liberal, you are NOT allowed on the majority of radio stations owned by WE, THE PEOPLE.
None of the radio stations spewing this hatred are living up to their lease agreements with the American people, but the American people are too busy taking selfies and the individual members who make up the FCC are too busy sucking the dicks of corporate radio executives to do anything fair or courageous to stop it. Yum Yum.
