Ladies and Gentlemen, may I present your president. In addition to his...umm...shortcomings, he has demonstrated his incompetence, hatred of women and lack of self control on Twitter AGAIN! And perhaps a penchant for bestiality. Game on, Tiny.

(9,090 posts)limbaugh did to christine blasey ford what he did to anita hill 30 years ago with the same result - with no support from democrats where it counts.
2 facts:
1)there was no one getting hill or ford's backs then or now re talk radio.
2)thomas and kavanaugh sit on the supreme court
the left/dems have learned nothing, that's why we're here, more than any other single factor

(9,090 posts)while it kicked our ass over and over.
trump is a product of that talk radio and the ignorance of it - his team studied it in 2014, probably to help coordinate with putin trolling. new york magazine 4/3/16.
all trump's positions are talk radio enhanced, following years of unchallenged repeated lying and distortion, yet talk radio is seldom mentioned and his followers are never polled for it. he won the primaries because limbaugh excused him and attacked bush/rubio -
the whole benghazi and now deep state bullshit is largely talk radio generated.
someone should sue the party for incompetence just to make the point
at $1000/hr 1200 radio stations doing 15 hrs/day have been worth about [b$5BIL/yr FREE for 30 years.] how could ignoring that not be incompetence?

that's a huge generalization.
most of the advertisers on RW radio don't want to be called trump supporters and deniers of global warming or racists - that's all liberals have to do to democratize talk radio. when that happens the cons will lose the only unique advantage they have
when rw radio advertising is politicized, as is very possible now with artificial intelligence-enhanced transcription, they won't be able to support their radio stations and many will have to switch to music, sports talk, and maybe liberal talk.

(1,388 posts)Starting with Air America and continuing on Free Speach TV and SiriusXM there are left leaning voices out there. Despite having good market share as far as listeners, advertisers wouldnt get on board. The republicans have sold themselves as the party of business. In some cases even when the business model was sound, stations had their formats changed by management.
certainot
(9,090 posts)using public airwaves to scream global warming denial and racism and sexism all day and now we have trump because americans who are not authoritarian racist assholes ignore those radio stations in their communities while they operate for the GOP - instead of telling any advertiser and university and pro sports teams they suck if they keep supporting it.
if those owners want to keep blasting their communities with racism and lies and global warming denial then let them do it with advertisers that will proudly proclaim their love for trump and his orange assholes in congress

(5,770 posts).... I don't think talk radio, at least the rhetoric of limbaugh, is effective for liberal ideas and policies. What do you suggest?
certainot
(9,090 posts)and screams your sister's a whore, your brother's a thief and your ideas are treasonous all day long and you just walk by with your fingers in your ears, you lose.
that's what liberals have been doing for 30 years.
liberals can't wait for a liberal billionaire to buy radio stations so they can compete. they're destroying democracy. it's not about competing - thats rw BS, as if their protected monopoly is some representation of american demand for ignorance, lies, and hate on public airwaves. as if 95% of americans who would listen to talk radio are racist assholes.
destroying rw radio is easy with AI. in the last year it became exponentially easier faster and cheaper to get radio recordings transcribed
Artificial intelligence will force ad industry to kill RW radio. Dems can accelerate the process.
reACTIONary
(5,770 posts)... is a persistent boycott of all advertisers on right wing radio talk shows? That certainly is an interesting idea.
certainot
(9,090 posts)they won't want to risk getting yelled at by clients because they got yelled at for getting put on rw radio stations doing global warming denial, for instance.
AI enhanced transcription makes it very easy to list advertisers and associate them with content - with little listening necessary.
AI makes it easy now and the ad industry needs to get that message it's inevitable. at the moment they shuffle advertisers around onto those stations because they're the loudest in the country and reach the biggest crowds.
ad agencies will want those loud stations and they'll apply pressure to make those stations more palatable to larger audiences

I have the TV turned off again today, because I don't want to hear more and more and more about his latest vile and vulgar outrages. Got my radio tuned to the lasest FM classical music station (WRR Dallas) . Mozart piano concerto right now. A little music from the Age of Enlightenment and the Rights of Man.

Perhaps repetitively snapping the bra strap of the girl in front of him, penning obscene doodles, writing "Donald J. Trump is God" a hundred times down the page. Obviously anything other than paying attention. However, he did inadvertently reveal a truth about himself. He is a total con.

(409 posts)her hush money, and then used his official Twitter account to call her names like horse-face, etc? Seriously, could you even imagine the way Faux News would handle that story?
I can't even believe I live in a world where the President of the United States is using his official Twitter account to disparage the looks of a porn star that he had an affair with and subsequently paid off. It's surreal.
How any woman could vote for this piece of garbage is beyond me. It's evident that he has a great disdain for women and only sees us in terms of a 1 through 10 on a hot-or-not scale. It's so offensive and demoralizing.

Now, all of his buddies are laffing at him. His current mistress, wife, and children are bigly embarrassed. And to the desperate-for-a-paycheck who work in the White House: your boss is the fool of a porn star. It's past the time for you to depart before you are blended into his circus.
