they're all going to follow limbaugh's lead and trash her - and dems have no clue.

dems need offense. destroy the RW talk radio monopoly with market demand - it's not enough to vote, or GOTV or donate.

artificial intelligence makes it easy, cheap to digitize talk radio - the ad industry will do the work once they become aware of how easy it is for activists to record, transcribe, and list advertisers with hardly any listening required.

talk radio is the only unique advantage they have and at $1000/hr 1200 stations x 15 hrs/day is worth about $5BIL/year FREE to them - and the kremlin trolls piggybacking it.. they know how important it is and democratic and media leadership clearly think it's irrelevant. ad it should not be considered part of the free speech spectrum as long as it is a well protected and coordinated monopoly. destroying the talk radio propaganda operation will help on every level, every issue, every election.

it wouldn't take much activism for the ad industry to get the message it has to start asking radio ad clients if they REALLY want to support the global warming denial, racism, hate, and ignorance

RW has perpetuated the myth that the monopoly is a reflection of the market demand for hate and lies ---advertisers will head for the hills and many stations will have to change programming to stay alive

and it wouldn't hurt for students and communities to start protesting anything trump at the 88+ universities that broadcast sports on 260 limbaugh stations

and going back to rather's point - no one helped trump and the russians more than limbaugh and a few hundred other lying blowhards. AND thosse stations have set up the whole "deep state" defense and polluted a lot of jury pools

People like her, and her colleagues who surrounded and supported her, make me so proud to be a Democrat.

The Republicans got some ammunition from the next 15 seconds or so.
