9. why? we let 1500 radio stations excuse racism all day long for 30 years so

republicans could sell voter suppression and divide us - reaching 50 mil/week

we let 88 universities endorse 260 limbaugh stations while he led the way - with bullshit on every other major issue including global warming denial, health care, taxes, media reform, and on and on. spinnign every major issue and event with unchallenged repeated lying

the dem party and the progressive orgs have been negligent.

If the GOP would pay $1000 for a 1 hour infomercial:
x 15 hours/day = $15,000/station/day
x 5 days = $75,000/station/week
x 52 weeks =$3.9MIL/station/year
x 1200 stations = $18MIL/DAY
x 5 days/week = $90MIL/WEEK
x 52 weeks = $4.68BIL/YEAR
FREE
paid for by national and local advertisers
and coordinated on the local level

so the dem party and progressive orgs ignore it and wait for mueller to find out limbaugh has been working for the russians since at least 2008 when manafort/putin used him to force palin on mccain, or something

on the good side, the word limbaugh and talk radio have been used by liberals more in the last few weeks than in the last 30 years
