I can't STAND my local talk radio (WWL)

Talking points this AM

-enough of trump bashing
-no evidence of collusion
-dems playing piñata politics

People calling in saying the used to be dems but Obamas racism made them flip

GTFO!!!!

They cherry pick the callers to set the narrative. I was already blocked for texting last summer

Tommy Tucker is the biggest steaming pile of shit in all of Orleans Parish!

For "them" it is a win if you get mad or upset.

They were talking about the Bidens sons, I couldn't believe it I thought I had accidentally turned on some scumbag RW radio I had to check the dial twice.

don't buy time and Tommy Tucker won't get paid. Help them get what they deserve, don't turn them on.

I often tune in to WWL through an app to catch sports coverage from LA and postgame commentary from the area. That being said, your point is spot on. Why tune in to a radio personality you dislike? There are much better options...I usually tune in to SiriusXM Progress in the mornings.

That went 60-70 for Democrats ought to use the power of the wallet and protests to shut down every frickin hate radio station within 100 miles

Let's imagine that instead of 3,000,000 people at the town squares to protest, they showed up at the offices of their local hate radio station

What did you expect? It's bullshit coast-to-coast on the airwaves, with occasional islands of reality intruding.
