(9,090 posts)the left and its orgs continue the biggest political mistake in history by ignoring the right's best weapon - talk radio.
at a cheap $1000/hr x 15hrs/day x 1200 stations, rw talk radio is worth 4.68 BIL$/ year or 390MIL$ /month FREE for coordinated global warming denial, pro republican wall st think tank propaganda, free market deregulation bullshit, swiftboating, and the hate and fear used to get people to vote republican.
not only does it intimidate dems and media to go right it enables them to go right- the political center would probably be 20 pts left if liberals would destroy the rw radio monopoly. the sanders and warrens and wellstones wold be the norm instead of the exception.
btw, chances are it's likely that one or more major universities in your state is one of the 90 + that keep the rw radio monopoly going.
