stations that reach 50mil a week. in 40 statess with 80 senators there are no free easy alternatives for politics while driving working or doing chores - political talk radio is it and 95% of it is a well coordinated protected walmart type monopoly

that includes his hardcore base of dittoheads and then a shitload of people who are too stupid, busy, or apathetic to do their own research and in many cases depend on the hard core (family, neighbors, friends etc) to deliver the bullshit to them with certitude

not long ago the polls showed about 25% of americans get most of their news from radio.

yet the dumbfuck polling cos don't poll for talk radio in trump support even though trump and limbaugh are heavily connected

and in any national emergency those radio stations become even more important

ignoring talk radio continues to be the biggest political mistake in history
