General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: Just yesterday, I read an OP asking why we didn't have progressive media to counter Fox/Limbaugh [View all]certainot
(9,090 posts)for white supremacy, misogyny, global warming denial, ignorance, hate, fear and all the other republican crap - which is what liberals/dems do when they lump it into the general spectrum of media.
it is a subsidized and protected monopoly propaganda operation coordinated by the GOP and think tanks (and the kremlin) and the right has protected it by selling the lie that liberal talkers can't compete or that air america failed because it couldn't compete and wasn't wanted, etc.
it does appeal to fear/authoritarianism and liberals may prefer music and internet but in 40 states with 80 senators, by design by the GOP and by lack of action by liberals, there are no free easy alternatives while driving and working.
i can't count the number of times i've seen that crap from trolls and liberals who bought it and continue to repeat it. it lets liberals off the hook and excuses the biggest political mistake in history
