so these harvard authors probably have no clue that at $1000/hr, 1200 coordinated radio stations doing 15 hrs/day have been worth $90M/week or about $5B pr year for thirty fucking years! FREE for the authoritarian republicans. and now king dittohead, the guy who led those stations is dead, and a lot of this current rw hysteria is because they lost their head, the guy who pulled their authoritarian winkie for them every day and told them what to think and what to say to their friends family and coworkers when itt came to interpreting political events.
i will bet anything those harvard authors have no clue how big a part talk radio has had in this shit, like rachel maddow telling us for two nights about giuliani and facebook and dominion, without knowing or mentioning that the giuliani/powell press conference nov 19 was timed to start with the limbaugh show that day, that limbaugh clearly already knew what they were going to say - lying nonstop right along with them while they were doing the conference.
the constant media 'analysis' criticizing dems for lack of messaging vs 1500 free unchallenged coordinated radio stations is truly idiotic.
and lawrence odonnell has on a florida ed official getting threatened and harrassed by dumbfuck trumpers that probably base a lot of their 'outrage' on the emanations from rw radio stations that depend on 5 major fla universities (FLORIDA 20 Florida 10, Florida St. 4 Miami 2, South Florida 2, Central Florida 2) to keep supporting 20 xlimbaugh stations with sports programming.
