13. to stop kavenaugh and trump think sandra fluke, not anita hill
Tue Sep 18, 2018, 10:56 AM
Sep 2018

limbaugh had a significant role attacking anita hill. there was no fox then. talk radio made the difference then as he has many times since then. talk radio put huge pressure on those senators

when he tried to do to sandra fluke what he did to anita hill a few activists using social media scared off a lot of limbaugh advertisers. now it’s a lot easier and possible to redo that effort x 100.

in the last year artificial intelligence made it a lot cheaper, easier, and faster to turn recordings of spoken word into searchable transcripts

here are a few things limbaugh said about christine blasey ford yesterday — he’ll ramp it up the rest of this week. he named flake and corker as cowards, is aiming trump's base at wavering GOP senators and red state dems:

x

deranged leftist professor

bad professor

dark, troubled

severe psychological problems
and he refers to the attack as

doing the nasty


there was a lot more for most of 3 hours

when ad agencies learn how easy it is to list advertisers for limbaugh and the other rw blowhards they will have to categorize it and give advertisers a choise and ask if they want to support trump or not. when that happens trump's best weapon will fall apart as a 20-1 monopoly

4 EASY STEPS

from republiconradio.org:

1) Record
Quicktime, on every Mac, is a basic app for recording audio streams. While playing the stream turn on Quicktime, go to 'File' and 'New Audio Recording'. Turn on the recorder and when you're done save it. With Quicktime it is necessary to have volume on. Other recording apps will allow recording multiple streams at the same time, pre scheduling, and editing.
2) Transcribe
At $5/hr and under, Sonix.ai may be the cheapest, quickest, and easiest transcription service. An hour takes minutes and is generally very accurate with good recordings. When it's done they send an email with a link to the transcription in their editing program where it can be downloaded or tweaked and corrected on their site. It can also be stored there. The monthly subscription is $15 but they offer a 30 minutes free trial.
3) Search for "DOT" to identify advertisers
Live recordings of radio streams include advertisements and most announce web sites transcribed as "so-and-so-company dot com". Most advertisers can be found by searching for the word "dot". Sometimes the ads provided phone numbers. The Sonix text editor allows you to highlight and add notes. Each company or quote can get a note that is listed and numbered. The notes can then be copied and pasted elsewhere.
4) Contact
Most websites provide phone numbers and email addresses specifically for contact by potential customers. Complaint emails may get further up the chain of command than a phone call, and there's a lasting written record for employees to pass around. It may also be easier for sympathetic staff to pass on a comment to a boss in email form than personally.
