What you’re describing is simply the Big Tobacco playbook from the 1950s being adapted into modern communications methods. If we didn’t have internet media, I guarantee you we’d still be seeing pandemic misinformation on AM radio and climate change lies on news networks funded by Shell and BP.
I dunno, around here we only use AM radio as an emergency source of information for weather and road hazards.
I’ve never heard a political nutjob advertising any AM radio station. Only ads I see for AM radio is on the side of the highway in case of emergencies.
It is still the number one way to influence the voting population, who are in rural areas in their pickup trucks and listening on farms and job sites. They dont advertise stations; they advertise their syndicated shows. Limbaugh, Jones, Metaxis, Prager, Hannity, Ingrahm, etc etc etc. There is a reason that there has been a steady rise of radical righties and fascists since the mid-90s.
Have you been living under a rock?
