they continue to broadcast sports on more than 260 limbaugh stations and it's fucking absurd.

87 irresponsible universities

they have no excuse for helping these stations attract advertising. same with any pro sports teams. would they endorse those stations if they were bought by the KKK?

and the advertisers on those stations need to be alerted and asked if they really don't believe in global warming. most would leave. the ad industry needs to stop bundling advertisers onto those stations.

all those stations do denial - not only actual denial but attacking protestors like greta and students who skip school and climate scientists but also they can be coordinated locally to stop local legislation and at the national level. and they get deniers elected.

if putin/kochs/fossil fuels paid $1000/hr for a denial radio infomercial then 1200 stations doing 15 hrs/day are worth about $5BIL/yr. for 30 years.
