Philadelphia Charter Change Question - School Reform Commission

4. The one thing to note

from the links I provided, was that Limbaugh was renewed through the funding by an internet entity, and this is why the internet cannot be ignored in terms of messaging. I agree the broadcast stations that are out there could be targeted by the colleges - but then you might as well include American Forces Radio too (previously called Armed Forces Radio) that runs Limbaugh overseas to the bases - with our taxpayer money.

The issue with elections and propaganda is to find something to motivate folks to go to the polls every single year. Not every 4 years or every 2 years. Every year.

The lunatics of the right, who naturally possess a certain temperament that responds to fear (and who tend to flock together to reinforce that fear), do vote at every election, and that is where RW radio fills in as the reinforcement magnifier. But for everyone else, you need to find some other method - including perhaps one that could even get children involved so they learn it is a civic duty to vote when they come of age and have pride in being part of society. Otherwise, regardless of what you try to do to halt the tactics of the other side, most people are tuning it all out.... period. And that is why the state/local governments shift to those who promote fear and hate because those are the voters who turn out. And this cascades to the national level, further frustrating people and causing them to really tune out, after which they explode and suddenly decide to vote, and will vote in someone the "opposite" of whoever is currently in - with a complete lack comprehension as to what was going on and why.
