In reply to the discussion: From a teacher friend....the last paragraph nails it! [View all]certainot
(9,090 posts)50. thank your local republican radio stations for selling the deregulation and
monopolization that made the rich richer, that sold public school privatization, trashed teachers and unions, that not only called COVID a hoax for 2 months bus is still downplaying it and calling for back to work, denying global warming, etc
they don't have to pay for that because advertisers do. at $1000/hr x 15 hrs x 1200 stations thats about $90MIL/week or almost $5BIL/yr creating made-to-order constituencies to work and vote for rich people/corporations, mostly all based on bullshit that works because the 'left' and dems never call them on their bullshit until way after the repetition when it's too late and we get shit like trump.
