(9,090 posts)i would just like to suggest liberals who blame fox give some blame to talk radio too, which dominates messaging in 40 states with 80 senators and unlike fox, is more capable of undetected unchallenged lying, racism, and hate and is coordinated locally and to the state level.
at a cheap $1000/hr x 15hrs/day x 5 = $75,000/wk x 1200 stations rw talk radio is worth $18MIL/day or 390MIL$ /month or 4.68 BIL$/ year FREE for coordinated global warming denial, pro republican free market deregulation and wall st think tank propaganda, swiftboating, and the hate and fear used to get people to vote republican.
where limbaugh and sons make excuses for trump all day, reaching 50mil a week.
the local saturday morning guy is attacking the media in defense of trump. he is really an ignorant fool who in no way reflects the intelligence level or sentiment of the avg citizen within the range of the monster limbaugh station he's on. he's there because he reinforces limbaugh and the other national liars on 1200 stations around the country and democrats and liberals have completely ignored that propaganda operation.
my state is one of the lucky states where there are 2!!! liberal talk stations - but their signals are small compared to the one mentioned above, which reaches 5 states and more at night and is associated with/endorsed by the state's major university sports program. colorado finally got one liberal station after many years without, they went blue and legalized pot, and then the liberal station was shut down.
and my low power liberal station here has a national weekend show is doing a program on immigration that completely ignores what rw radio has been doing by design and strongly for at least since bush rove took the white house - vilifying mexican immigrants to help the GOP sell voter suppression legislation, walls, and more prisons.
