Reply #77: as long as the GOP has a talk radio monopoly to feed media [View All]

and intimidate politicians it can have it all both ways.

it is the only reason the flat earthers still get 50% of the seats at the table. global warming and health care should be no brainers but the lobbyists get to launder their message through 1000 UNCONTESTED radio stations to create a giant anti- obama ant- progress anti-liberal constituency and the left barely pays attention until it shows up on fox later in the day or week after its too late.

global warming won't wait for demonopolization or other legislative remedies, the left is going to have to start picketing the stations and boycotting their local sponsors.

until then liberals/dems/progressives will keep playing catchup, living in a talk radio vacuum whining about obama's/dem's inefectiveness while 1000 uncontested radio stations pound away at them 24/7/365 framing and intimidating politicians and media.

the internet is helping- it is still mostly naturally democratic, but ignoring talk radio is the reason we're in this 20 yr mess and to continue to cede the biggest soapbox in the country to the GOP and it's think tanks and lobbyists is a terrible mistake.
