13. I am a radio listener

and I know many folks listen in the car while commuting.

I have no problem with using target-demo/subject ads and understand the more complex issue of television, but if they aren't running there already, these should at least be on "local" terrestrial radio (and natually on streaming stations if need be to capture those who utilize that instead of OTA). I would hate for it to just be internet-only that you stumble upon on YouTube or Facebook or whatever.

We progressives/liberals whine incessantly about hate talk radio with Limpballs and Levine and Savage Weiner et. al., who are syndicated on hundreds of stations. And we keep laughing at and insulting AM radio... meanwhile the RW loons have a monopoly over it and put their (and their PAC) advertising on it... And then we sit there and demand that some elected Democrat should "pound the podium more" to get the message out or we will insist that Democrats "are doing nothing in terms of "'messaging'".

As a sidenote, I use to work at my college radio station (doing news, public affairs, and music) back some 35+ years ago!
