(9,090 posts)subvert US democracy through media and that goes back to 2009 or before then that intent should be extended to talk radio, which had already been going strong since the late 80s. all they had to do was figure out how to feed the vastly underpaid limbaugh.
for instance, if limbaugh was working for american billionaires why would he spend 2 months pushing the teabags to default on the debt? they wouldn't like that.
and why would trump tell sam nunberg to listen to 1000s of hours of talk radio and report to trump in 2014, getting ready for the primaries?
everything talk radio does is geared toward authoritarianism and destroying democracy, why shouldn't we assume the talk radio gods are working for putin, whether they know it or not. consider limbaugh creating "climate gate" from a russian hack and using it to delay action on global warming and save putin billions on oil/gas revenue.
