The Worlds Biggest Problem Is Rupert Murdoch

[certainot]

9. fox is merely visual icing on the lie turd pie of talk radio. the cartoon cliff notes

for talk radio and blaming fox does not recognize or help solve the real problem. it's a distraction

the record partisanship started in the early 90s before fox in 96. ALEX was suddenly sucessfull in the early 90s - before fox.

fox can't call biden and harris "joe and the ho" or say half the shit rw radio hosts can or 1000th as many times.

fox cannot be coordinated on the local level to distort local issues and attack local dems

unlike political talk radio fox has alternatives a click away

this disaster is largely the result of letting 1500 think tank coordinated radio stations blast the country with coordinated propaganda the last 30 years

democrats and liberals have done NOTHING in response while blaming fox, money, deregulation and other symptoms of that unchallenged repetition, believing idiotic rw talking points that a 95% monopoly that spews lies and hate all day is somehow an expression of free speech and the 'market' demand of americans.

political talk radio is the ONLY major medium without challenge and alternatives a click or page-turn away. it is the only unique advantage republicans have

at $1000/hr 1200 radio stations doing 15 hrs/day are worth $90M/week and about $5BIL/YEAR FREE to our corporate masters.

the influence of the kremlin on RW radio has increased since 2008 at least

yet democrats and the left continue to ignore talk radio, analyzing politics and blaming symptoms as if studying fish without water

how fucking sad that the whole thing gets better when limbaugh croaks and the monopoly falls apart without its main rudder (the captains are probably in russia now) without the progressive orgs having never done anything to identify and challenge what's been kicking our ass for 30 fucking years, especially now that artificial intelligence would allow us to digitize and monitor a lot of the repetition and neutralize it before it can create the alternative realities that make it impossible for democracy and the national fact based debate that democracy depends on
