39. artificial intelligence makes it easy, cheap to digitize talk radio - ad industry will do the work

work once they become aware of how easy it is for activists to record, transcribe, and list advertisers without hardly any listening required.

30 or so years ago after reagan killed the fairness doctrine they put carnival barkers on every corner and stump in the country, yelling about democrats and liberals the equivalent of "your sister's a whore, your brother's a thief, and yopur ideas are treasonous" and liberals just walked by with their fingers in their ears. while it's not up to any individual to do anything about it it's been the biggest political mistake in history for the progressive orgs and the dem party they'd like to push left to ignore it. they've wasted many millions of donated time and money ignoring the simple math - at $1000/hr x 15hrs/day x 5dys/wk that's been worth $5BIL/yr basically free for the cons.

all they need is a few hundred trained liars to win or get close on any major issue, locally or nationally

it wouldn't take much activism for the ad industry to get the message it has to start asking radio ad clients if they REALLY want to support the global warming denial, racism, hate, and ignorance

RW has perpetuated the myth that the monopoly is a reflection of the market demand for hate and lies ---advertisers will head for the hills and many stations will have to change programming to stay alive

and it wouldn't hurt for students and communities to start protesting anything trump at the 88+ universities that broadcast sports on 260 limbaugh stations
