Philadelphia Charter Change Question - School Reform Commission

3. i used to listen to alan berg in colorado

he was pegged to go national and would have been a direct competitor with limbaugh's national sponsored PSYOPS expansion before he was assassinated. (like this )

i agree with what you say and agree talk radio is destroying talk radio

i don't believe it's a productive strategy to try to buy into talk radio - it would be like ma and pa vs wall mart - it's a well protected and subsidized monopoly that is clearly not responding to market forces. the oft repeated meme that americans prefer rw talk suggests 95% of americans who would listen to talk radio, which dominates many of the loudest stations in the country and in most parts of the country is the only free easy source for current events or politics, prefer the lies and ignorance and hate of limbaugh and sons.

i also don't think it's good strategy to ignore that $5BIL/year pounding out the lies and hate and attacks on good candidates and ideas. and we can't wait on global warming.

it's their best weapon and waiting for it to fade away is not good strategy. it will continue to reach 40- 50 mil a week because it's where people go for sports weather and traffic at least. and those are the stations that will be screaming "ELECTION FRAUD!!!!" soon, as they are gearing up for. the young folks may not listen to it but it's kicking their internet ass and destroying their futures. those 90 universities are places to protest anything progressive and dem as long as they keep renting their logos to 270 limbaugh stations. even just a discussion of those absurd relationships will cause enough advertising loss to finally put rw radio out of it's misery.

as long as a few hundred blowhards can scream their think tank coordinated messaging all over the country they're going to win elections and be close in others that should be no brainers. we need majorities in both houses or we're back to same old, with no major reform. i think the best way to get that is to do something different and destroy rw radio with the university angle. there is no real democracy as long as a few hundred coordinated blowhards can push the country 10-20 points right on any major issue.
