democrats and liberals have done NOTHING in response while blaming fox, money, deregulation and other symptoms of that unchallenged repetition, believing idiotic rw talking points that a 95% monopoly that spews lies and hate all day is somehow an expression of free speech and the 'market' demand of americans.
political talk radio is the ONLY major medium without challenge and alternatives a click or page-turn away. it is the only unique advantage republicans have
at $1000/hr 1200 radio stations doing 15 hrs/day are worth $90M/week and about $5BIL/YEAR FREE to our corporate masters.
the influence of the kremlin on RW radio has increased since 2008 at least
yet democrats and the left continue to ignore talk radio, analyzing politics and blaming symptoms as if studying fish without water
how fucking sad that the whole thing gets better when limbaugh croaks and the monopoly falls apart without its main rudder (the captains are probably in russia now) without the progressive orgs having never done anything to identify and challenge what's been kicking our ass for 30 fucking years, especially now that artificial intelligence would allow us to digitize and monitor a lot of the repetition and neutralize it before it can create the alternative realities that make it impossible for democracy and the national fact based debate that democracy depends on
