It is a mass brainwashing campaign going on for decades now. A whole generation has been brought up on it.

How Clearchannel has infiltrated every former sports talk station as well, craftily in order to scoop up listeners that tuned in to hear their favorite sports team, and the station that rah rahs for their team, is prominent in the community etc...making them seem to be all the more trustworthy. Also the armed forces radio stations.

Eliminating the 'fairness doctrine' was one of the biggest mistakes in Bill Clintons term. Another "third way" accomplishment.
