54. fox is the visual icing on the lie turd pie of talk radio
Sun Jun 11, 2017, 09:57 AM
Jun 2017

- talk radio is unique - it is the only major medium with NO poltical challenge from the other side of the spectrum
- fox cannot create like tr - people are monitoring it, there is one basic point of dissemination, with a handful of people looking into cameras and trying to look certain when they lie
- it cannot do the unchallenged repetition needed for creating big lies - a few hundred liars on 1000 radio stations all telling the same lies with their own flavor is a monstrous buzz
- there are free easy political alts to fox just a click away
- there are no free easy alts for politics on the radio in most parts of the US - esp those 40 states with 80 senators
- talk radio stations can be coordinated locally- they can spread the exact same national bullshit and trump excuses, swiftboating of trump critics, keeping blue dogs and wayward repubs in line, or they can do local propaganda coordinated for attacking ossoff in GA, or fighting local legalization or environmental legislation, or sell another wall mart or publicly funded stadium for billionaires to profit from, for eg.
- there's no monitoring or study of rw radio - it's basically invisible to those it attacks and has been attacking for 30 years
- and that's the biggest political mistake in history
