guys like putin probably hated VOA for undermining them all over the world
some say the rw radio monopoly has CIA roots - william casey and ABC
radio is the classic propaganda medium carried back to the US and then horned into by putin since at least 2008 when mccain had manafort as campaign cochair and it is very possible that working for the kremllin he used limbaugh to force palin on mccain- limbaugh would not support mccain, a disaster on the eve of the GOP convention, until minutes after mccain chose palin - who was being wooed by russian oil and gas
was breitbart an effort by the kremlin to supplant the drudge report as major talk radio feeder, away from the M
IC?
RW radio here got infiltrated by putin - all he had to do was figure out how to feed limbaugh, and he got his revenge and eventually a president.
that's the collusion, but dems are so ignorant of rw radio... maybe need to check those mueller redactions.....
here's from fakenewsradio.org:
THE US ARMY WOULD CALL IT PSYOPS
Here is what the US Army Psyops Manual says about using radio for propaganda (Psychological Operations Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures 12/2003 – available online):
Repetition is necessary for oral learning: therefore, key themes, phrases, or slogans should be repeated to ensure the TA (target audience) gets the desired message.
(Talk radio is much better than TV, print, and internet for doing just that.)
According to the PSYOPS manual, advantages of radio include:
Emotional Power: A skilled radio announcer can exert tremendous influence on the listener simply with pitch, resonance, inflection, or timing. and The emotional tone conveyed by the voice may influence the listener more than the logic of arguments
(Or, as one famous host would call it, “talent on loan from god”.)
Wide coverage: Radio programs can reach members of large and varied audiences simultaneously. and Since radio can reach mass TAs quickly, radio is useful for all types of PSYOPs.
Speed: Radio programs can be quickly prepared for broadcast. Speed is important when attempting to capitalize on targets of opportunity.
(Perfect for spinning and distorting breaking news.)
Ease of perception: Radio requires little or no effort to visualize the radio message. Illiteracy does not prevent the listener from forming his individual image as he listens.
