I have witnessed the progression Hate radio and it is bad... For the last 45 years, I have listened for at least a little while and it has taken over everything. I listen so I know what the other side is lying about. There are always talking points and they all follow it and never back down. Anyone who does not see what has been happening with this slow and deliberate brainwashing has never listened. What really makes me angry is that Limbaugh is played on Armed Forces Radio on every military base world wide. I can remember when Bill Clinton brought up the dangers of talk radio he was ridiculed so everyone shut up about it. It is propaganda broadcast 24/7 and it is getting worse. Try to find a station in the car that is not Hate Radio or a religious station. NPR is about the only thing left that I can listen to and they are reporting the truth which is not exciting like the hate radio stations and only one little number on the dial. We are losing the information war and there is little we can do about it now. The only thing we seem to have are the comedy shows that are actually telling the truth.
