global warming, deregulation, tax breaks, unqualified supremes, etc, and that's worth trillions.

you can't compare the big city stations to the other 1000 or 1100 or more stations baking 40 red states without competition, reinforcing the same think tank scripted message coordinated at the national and local level.

they bought up and subsidized those stations and they protect their monopoly. the idea that 95% of the people who would listen to talk radio prefer the racist humorless lies and ignorance of rw radio is an insult to americans.

they have a monopoly and liberals have ignored it and never challenged it and that's why we're in this mess.
