1. They air a lot of right wing bullshit ads on the local AAR station..
Endless anti-pot ads chock full of lies and propaganda, and ads for right wing fascist radio hosts.

Seems they don't care who is buying the time as long as they are willing to pay.

They have changed the format on some of them.

9. I'm being bombarded with Presidential Political ads!
Especially from Paul, McCain, Clinton and Romney! :grr:

I see the others ads too but those four are on every channel constantly!

To the point that I'm avoiding TV and hitting the mute button when they come on. :grr:

5. sigh
they probably don't control the ads, much like DU sometimes get right-wing ads.

The ad server delivers ads based on keywords that are used a lot on the site. If people are discussing Ann Coulter, even negatively, they'll get ads for her latest book.

7. Don't know what to do about the radio ads, but as far as the Google ads go...
That's easy enough to resolve.

Step 1 - Install Firefox, if you haven't already.

Step 2 - Install the AdBlock Plus extension.

No more ads :)

10. I already have FF, the ads are ON their website.
It isn't a pop up ad. It's ON their website!

8. Join AAR Premium and maybe they wouldn't have to...Many corporations boycott AAR

Simply because it's a different point of view, progressive ideology not regressive. Liberal radio will always need our help and support.
