Anybody get the feeling that a lot of Trump Supporters just plainly

39. i think that talk radio propaganda operation is largely responsible for that ignorance and apathy

when you say:

These are not people who seek out information. Most have never read a book, never looked beyond their own home, family, livelihood. Never doubted their religion or their parent's teachings. They will all watch the Super Bowl, none will watch a debate.

as you say they're basted with team limbaugh and they reinforce it among themselves. thing is, would they be as ignorant and racist if there was a thom hartman or rhandi rhodes or ed schultz available on one of those radio stations they could reach while working and driving?

imo that's a major part of the problem - that there was and is no choice - in most parts of the country there are NO choices

by the time it gets to TV where there is some choice, anything but fox is the librul media. authoritarians need and are drawn to the certainty and it has been a huge mistake that democrats didn't challenge talk radio more than they did, with people living in cities doing all the analysis and management of party and orgs.

even now they ignore the part it played in the trump disaster, that there's evidence the russians have been using it for a decade or more, that the trump team studied talk radio in 2014 while russian trolls were getting lists "of topics to write about".

what would happen to that massive unquestioning secondary and tertiary audience who've been hearing the bullshit repeated by patriarchs and matriarchs etc for years when they find out one of investigations is about russia using talk radio, maybe limbaugh and hannity getting paid laundered money through trump or elsewhere, and maybe russians calling into shows, that russians have been feeding breitbart etc for years, made up the benghazi crap, etc.

the name 'hannity' was probably the redacted name between 'rhona graff' and 'john hawker' in the mueller report - as 'harm to ongoing matters'. why? stone, corsi, and credico are long time talk radio operators - not social media experts.
