he wouldn't be listening to and summarizing it on his own time.

confirmation bias


in most of the US including 40 states with 80 senators there are NO free easy alts for politics while driving or working.

rw talk raido doesn't just confirm to the faithful or reflect their political 'market', it creates the dominant buzz in much of the us. and it has secondary and tertiary effects outside of the avid listener. there are millions of casual listeners driving and working, trying to get some current events or politics or weather, sports, etc before going home to the tv and family, and the 95% to 5% rw monopoly is protected to ensure there is only one message.

it is a psyops, not a reflection of 'demand' in any way. it's mom and pop vs wall mart and ignoring that continues to be the biggest political mistake in history. there's not much time to start fixing that.
