I have to ask, where were they when conservatives dominated AM talk radio? And, unlike the internet, the spectrum for radio is limited and controlled by the government. If you don't like Twitter or Facebook, start your own social media platform.

(4,723 posts)They want those around them to look, talk and believe like they do. They don't like a world with more than one message, more than one sexual orientation, more than one religion, more than one skin color. FAUX news, a cacophony of AM hate radio statuons, and plenty of other outlets for their message isn't enough. There are still places where alternative messages can be found, and they hate that they cannot control this.

(32,620 posts)All I can see (from my limited perspective) is that the Chump-haters are getting more ballsy about letting people know how terrible a pResident he is. The Chump-lovers are still just as asinine as ever. But just because more people hate Chump now, how is that a liberal bias? Haven't they noticed how many Republicans are leaving the fold every day? There are no new Chump-lovers, only Chump-haters.
