The GOP hold on most of American radio seems pretty unshakable, but Democrats must get into the talk-radio game before ever more damage is done.
There should be regulation around use of the word “news”. Many of these stations call themselves “News Radio” as if they only reported verifiable facts, but well over 50% is opinion.
Speaking of regulation, their hateful opinions getting such a far reach is a direct result of the telocommunications act of '96
Anything presented as news should be kept separate from opinion. If it’s news, you should be able to defend it like it was said under oath.
Personally, I would love it if news channels had to distinguish opinion content from news by removing the word news from the screen and replacing it with the word opinion. That or some other clear and unmistakable signal to the audience should be there to establish whether the station is going on record and asserting facts or whether this is some talking head spewing bullshit.
They tried with air America and it was ok but not really all that compelling. Truth and facts just don’t sell like toxic divisive fantasies.
Isn’t that how we got the national treasure that is Rachel Maddow?
Go to the top podcast lists and you’ll see that one is also dominated by right-wing personalities too.
Even in Canada. Most talk radio stations are right wing hate BS.
“Has arrived,” as though it hasn’t been churning just beneath the surface since the beginning, and succeeding in lifting its filthy maw above the water line many, many times.
I don’t think there’s been one since Air America. Al Franken hung out there. Rachel Maddow.
US fascism arrived before radio was invented.
You’re free to leave.
Hey dumbfuck the Confederates were fascist thats decades before the invention of radio. Also the recognition of this fact isnt bad you fascistic dipshit.
Well, that didn’t take long.
Bye!
Oh, and America isn’t fascist. The only people that think it is are pseudo-intellectual socialists that have no fucking clue about anything.
Can we start labeling opinion articles? It can be misleading
Yeah let’s definitely require AM radio in all new vehicles
