1500 radio stations being uncivil 15 hrs/day for 30 years howl about lack of civility.

And the only reason it works is civil people can’t stand to listen to those stations. So they ignore them.

Maybe you’re lucky enough to have a liberal talk radio station in your state but randomly turn on any political talk radio station in the country anytime and there’s a 20-1 chance it’s spewing racist, sexist lies excusing and supporting Trump. Turn them on now and you’ll likely hear them outraged by the Red Hen and it’s owner and employees. They’ve been doing that to good people for 3 decades.

The ‘Left’ continues to analize politics — why Trump is in the White House, how he keeps his base, and so on — as if studying fish without water, completely ignoring the think tank-coordinated media/propaganda monopoly that’s been operating outside democratic free speech challenge for 30 years.

It should be noted that on 9/10/2008 after someone in candidate Obama’s staff made a mistake, Rush Limbaugh used the opportunity to suggest people need to be fired, and used the whole episode in order to deliver this line:

"obama’s head needs to roll"

That was standard civility on 1500 radio stations. Obama’s supporters never heard that and never reacted. Nevver challenged, never got his back

Here is local 770 KKOB Albuquerque talker Pat Frisch, who has a 2 hour show after Limbaugh. He was attacking Santa Fe for being a sanctuary city Nov 22, 2016. This was available on the podcasts collection for the 9AM hour show:

"ever seen the movies "Purge" or whatever they are?.... Some people may say hey maybe that's not a bad idea. You watch one of those movies, OK? Basically what it is in a nutshell is for like 12 hours under this fictitious world in the "Purge", you're allowed to kill whoever you want…"

Republicans talking about civility? They decide what’s civil because the progressive orgs and the Dem party are too fucking stupid to do anything about talk radio.

And now we have these motherfuckers stealing children — enabled and excused by a 1500 radio station monopoly protected from ‘free market’ demand.

Here’s Limbaugh last Monday 6/18/2018 on 1500 radio stations, at least 260 of them endorsed by these 88 universities, excusing family separation and child abuse, using most of 3 hours to repeat all this many times in different ways:

"Trump is standing up for America"

"If anybody is going to fix it. Like everything else it's going gonna be Donald Trump"

"It is an entirely manufactured crisis"

"It's a manufactured political issue designed to change the subject from all the robust goodness and decency that is springing up all over this country."

"Everybody's accepting some vision that helpless needy poor kids fleeing war come to the United States wanting a better life."

"It's all about people attempting to invade our country"

"We see it happening in Europe right now destroying original cultures"

"The idea is to send a signal that we are serious about our laws and create a deterrent against re-entry."

"You're separated from your family because you get thrown in jail robbing the bank. Whose fault is that?"

"Separation happens only if officials find that the adult is falsely claiming to be the child's parent or is a threat to the child or is put into criminal procedure."

"The parents deciding to seek for asylum end up choosing the separation"

"It is the Democrat Party who is seeking to have children brought here"

"Let me tell you who's been busting up families. The Democrats."

"Democrat party literally subsidized single motherhood in the black community."

"They want the United States to become a migrant camp. Those are future democrat voters dependent on government."

"Obama administration placed children with human traffickers"

"You want to talk about separating families look no further than the abortion mills of Planned Parenthood."

Here's Mandy Connell, who immediately follows Limbaugh's show on 850 KOA in Denver, parroting him like hundreds of other pampered and protected Limbaugh radio wannabes all over the country, hiding behind dump buttons and call screeners.

"What has to happen is that all these news media reports have to start trickling down into Central America and mothers need to hear that if they come to the United States their kids are going to be ripped away from them. We need to dissuade people before they try to make that crossing."

"They need to be told very clearly in their language that they understand your children are going to be separated for you from you indefinitely. We don't know when you're getting them back. They need to make that choice."

"If you're outraged about children being ripped away from their mothers after they break the law why aren't we upset about every woman who's in prison? Because they committed a crime."

Ignoring talk radio continues to be really fucking stupid, the biggest political mistake in history.

Artificial intelligence could spell the end of Trump talk radio before November

These universities are good places to protest until they stop endorsing Trump racism excuses.

Or examine the limits of hate speech on the airwaves.

Or both.

OTOH, sabotaging transmission towers for these stations shouldn't be that hard.

at sonix.ai and list advertisers by searching for "dot" - easy

then associate those businesses with the racism and lies in the transcript and ask them if they want to keep supporting trump's crap.

it won't take long for word to get around in the advertising world.

Democrats ignored this advice. And now look!

Nightmare that I agree is the result of the unchallenged hate media.

It's time to throw these loonies out of our restaurants, hotels, any place of business. And publically shame them.

Shame them on Facebook as well.

most of them are living in an alt reality in which hillary is the most corrupt politician on the planet, trump is a brilliant businessman, etc. they're racists who have been hearing excuses for racism from limbaugh for decades.

they need to see their talk radio gods go down and reduced to a few hundred stations in the swamps

shame the universities and pro sports teams that broadcast on rw radio to help pay for and prop up those ignorant liars

shame the thousands of businesses that pay for 1500 radio stations to lie all over the country all day.

it's easy now with artificial intelligence.
