Carolinians can protest 4 NC universities that support 16 pro GOP Trumputin radio stations. [View all]

How many protestors at a state capitol is one local screaming hater with a 50,000 watt radio station worth? What about 600 stations? 1200?

That’s what happened in Madison Wisconsin, and that’s what happened to OWS. Those radio racists have defined BLM as a terrorist organization. They will be used to attack demonstrators, distort their motives, and egg on vigilantes and the police.

I guarantee you that North Carolina GOP’s fascist power grab is getting a lot of support from the 16 Limbaugh stations that 4 NC universities broadcast sports on:

University of North Carolina 8
North Carolina State 3
Duke 3
East Carolina 2

Those stations are attacking protestors, excusing the Republicans, and probably suggesting swinging batons.

If Democrats protest the use of their colleges’ sports mascots and community credibility to sell the Republican power grab they will get media attention and threaten NC GOP's most important messaging tool. Whatever the response is from school administration, the prospect of losing the associations that have been attracting the advertisers that pay for broadcasting the Republican agenda will cause them great concern.

It's likely some of the Republican politicians and other think tank hacks are getting air time with friendly talkers on those stations while this is going on.

Those stations can not handle scrutiny. The only reason they are successful is that the people they attack and lie about ignore them.

The Democrats can go to the courts, and those stations will also be trying to intimidate the judges.

Until Democrats take on that major source of GOP messaging power they will continue to play defense.

It’s only a matter of time that these and at least 84 other universities separate from at least 257 RW talk radio stations. When global warming-caused melting stops the Gulf Stream and Europe starts freezing can the schools continue to defend broadcasting on stations that deny global warming?

These stations just gave us Trump. The sooner the 88 universities end their support for republican radio the better.
