with few if any exceptions all the blowhards on those stations made excuses for lead in the water and now attack democrats. they always follow limbaugh's lead and support anyone's right to carry assault weapons in public and always make excuses for trump and racism. limbaugh and likely all the rest called covid a hoax and a dem plot to attack trump and push socialism and communist.
a few weeks ago limbaugh claimed that BLM protestors in portland "executed a trump supporter" and "cheered and danced". frightened nutjobs like glen beck on those shows are 'predicting' a civil war and they have all spent years lying about dems getting millions of 'illegal aliens' to vote.
and why wouldn't the kremlin be calling rw shows around the country and getting their emails read on those shows - reaching millions - the GOP friendly think tanks have ben doing it for decades.....
we can discuss the legalities and fat chances of legal and legislative action (like a new fairness doctrine) but democrats/progressive groups are missing a huge opportunity to end this shit instead of letting 1500 coordinated radio stations incite violence across the country this election and post election period and then hamstring bidden harris like we let them do to obama
those stations have been deciding who is too liberal for the supreme court for 30 fucking years and in michigan 2 universities, like the 85 others (supporting 260+ limbaugh stations), use their athletes to excuse racism and call BLM unamerican communist terrorists, deny global warming, and stimulate attacks on whitmer. all those stations have been politicizing mast wearing and screaming for reopening, and at the same time blaming democratic politicians in every state for destroying the economy - and these motherfucking republicans can't even supply widely available N95 masks for for under $10 at the hardware store
getting unis like that to announce they will start looking for apolitical alternatives will send advertisers on ALL rw radio stations to the exits and the advertising industry will have to break up the monopoly
