19. Student groups have been effective in recent years with petitioning

universities and institutions to divest in fossil fuel energy resources and other progressive causes. I agree with the means and issues you outlined- basically expose and shame them to death! which has wide appeal to many diverse, active and engaged young people. And as powerful as college athletic departments and sports teams are, it is quite possible that with increased campus awareness and pressure the use of RW hate stations broadcasting events and spewing hate propaganda could be halted. One less force influencing and corrupting young minds and future citizens and leaders is critical to the stability and health of the US heaven knows.

What stations would provide more 'balanced news' or even take the place of RW Hate Radio is a concern for now but not an insurmountable one. Btw, are there ANY less biased or independent radio broadcasters still around these days to replace these odious mouthpieces? In most parts in the US, including more progressive areas like No. CA, I understand there very few especially since 2013. The approximately 1,200 stations managed by a few conservative corporations dominate the public airwaves now as you know.

Media deregulation and consolidation beginning with Reagan not enforcing the Sherman Anti-Trust Act, and then the 1996 Telecom Act that took limited ownership rules for newspapers, publications, radio and television stations off the books, destroyed American journalism and brought enormous concentration of US 'news' by major conglomerates. I welcome a major change that would require taking on the FCC and other powerful entities.
