This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Tens of millions of people did.

There was a time when Rush Limbaugh was one of the most politically influential voices in the country.

Not to mention the huge number of evangelical propaganda AM stations.

I think it's safe to say that telecom deregulation and the subsequent AM radio boom is one of the core reasons why American adults above 50 are rightwing/fascist.
