In WIS, MI, and PA, 4 universities could decide the fate of 34 Limbaugh/Trump radio stations. [View all]
Democracy-loving Americans have to go on the offensive.
The University of Wisconsin 5, University of Michigan 7, Michigan State University 11, and Penn State University 11, broadcast sports on 34 right wing radio stations that will say whatever Trumps team and the GOP wants them to say to stop recounts.
Those are great places to protest recounts and anything Trump and Republican.
Those are just 4 of more than 88 universities helping more than 257 Limbaugh/Trump talk radio stations all over the country.
Limbaugh and all the national blowhards on those stations have been opposing the recounts and lying about the motivations and facts involved.
All the local blowhards on those stations will parrot the same crap and will be locally coordinated by GOP for their particular state needs in obstructing recounts.
All of those blowhards will try to intimidate those trying to do the recount and enable those trying to obstruct the recounts. If protestors/mobs are needed to oppose recounts those radio stations will help direct them.
The elected officials in those states depend heavily on those stations. They play a big part in everything Republicans do in those states. They helped sell and excuse Trump and will continue to.
The local blowhards on those stations may be getting very loud and irrational in their objections. One local morning blowhard I heard on WIBA in Madison, Dan Conry, must have called us communists 20 times in the 15 minutes I heard, screaming for most of it. During two short samplings of that the station they played two promos for UW Badgers sports, football, and hockey.
It doesnt matter if the school is actually doing promos on the shows. The ability to broadcast their sports gives those stations a major advantage over other stations in attracting advertising.
Theres no reason the universities can't start looking for apolitical alternatives.
The mere possibility that those stations might lose that ability to use the school brand to attract advertising revenue and may have to find alternative programming will totally disrupt the republican political machine in that state.
Those stations, like all RW stations, played important parts in selling the voter fraud fraud, turning a few cases of fraud into millions and were instrumental in getting voter suppression legislation passed in states across the country.
Americans must stop letting our publicly funded institutions of higher learning to be used to destroy our democracy.
Boycott every business that advertises on Trump radio, protest those 88 universities, and get the House and Senate in 2 years.
