        More specifically, the same conservative owned bullshit. Previously it would have to be different conservative billionaires to stay under the limit for each.

          So true. I just was listening to Best of the Left, and the guy getting interviewed (Matthew Sheffield ) pointed out that conservatives have been and are practically socialists when it comes to massive spending on media - see how they happily pissed away tons of money on hate radio just so they could capture millions with that shit. Hell, the first five years of Faux ran in the red, IIRC. They didn’t spend like that for their health or just go on a lark. They had and have a plan. They want epistemic closure - you could see it in the way they reacted to Air America, LOL.

          Meanwhile, the liberals have to pass the hat around to find funding for one lone outfit like Air America. And even that didn’t last.

          I drove through Utah last year and I could swear I heard Hannity on two, possibly three, different stations when flipping around. It’s a conservative hellscape out there when it comes to terrestrial radio and local television “news”.

          And it’s only going to get even worse, with the FCC doing this, AND threatening broadcasters merely for not running Donvict speaking…

        I knew what that was going to be before I clicked the link. I both love and hate that clip in equal parts.
