44. We need radio stations that have "real news." It would be worth every penny. It doesn't need to be

"Left" because the people we might possibly reach in the middle will never swallow that. My brother, who is a life-long Repub. (but didn't vote for Trump) believes the more main-stream news outlets but not MSNBC. I think there is a sizable number of people who would believe a main-stream news outlet on the radio. I would be willing to invest in that - the small amount that I could afford. A "little people-powered" radio station -much like how Obama and Dean raised money for their campaigns. Then, have some billionaire investors throw in.
