The irony in all of this, is that this is a perfect example of capitalism.



If the viewers/listeners want to discuss voter irregularities, the capitalistic thing to do would be to meet their demands.

They weren't spreading racism, hate, or even endorsing riots. They were discussing irregularities in the election.

They were inciting violence by continuing to insist there were voting irregularities despite a lack of evidence. This is like a law that requires people to wear seatbelts. People should be smart enough to know better, but because so many do not an adult is required to step in and save stupid people from themselves.

That law is to generate revenue under the guise of safety

Stop saying its "censorship", You make it sound like its an attack on free speech.


Then what is it call when one side can't say anything and the other can say whatever they want?

Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) previously stated, “If you see anybody from that Cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd. And you push back on them. And you tell them they’re not welcome anymore, anywhere.

Sen. Cory Booker encouraged people to “get up in the face of some congresspeople.” Nicolle Wallace encouraged Jeb Bush to punch Trump in the face. Madonna thought about blowing up the White House. Actor Johnny Depp despicably commented about assassinating a president. Additional examples abound.

Imagine believing cops pull people over for public safety. These people vote and procreate. Clown world.

I don't think many Repubs were for churches and businesses being forced to shut down for the last year, especially by the government.



No, but they are against legalization of pot, they are against abortion, and they want government to punish companies that are censoring.

That's three examples of wanting more government control in their lives.

What happened is they saw several corporations announce they were suspending political contributions to lawmakers that objected to the election results, and feared that could trickle down to their advertising coffers if their radio and TV personalities did the same.


That's possible. Again, it's all about money. If all they cared about was ideology, we'd have nothing but liberal talk show hosts on the radio.

The government isn't stopping people with threatening arrest or shutting down new outlets.

My guess is for every 1 listener that wants to discuss it, 3 listeners want to move on.

Majority rules, right?

Don't let the echo chamber of this board fool you. Right or wrong, the vast majority of people are ready to move on. If you find actual proof, come back and bring it up. Until then, it's time to discuss something else.

Yep. No way in hell are you allowed to talk about the president-elect and pedophilic tendencies.

And then some things you have to talk about endlessly like Orange Man Bad and golden showers.

Radio is now monopolized. It needs to be broken up. There was a time when it wasn't legal to own more than one station in a given market unless it was a combo.

Yes. Mark Levin, Ben Shapiro, and Dan Bongino definitely do this.

Well I’m for legalizing pot and I can’t think of a single republican that I personally know under 50 thats against it. Abortion is murder so of course we are against it, but that’s for another thread

LOL, I got confused, I thought this was on the PT board. =)

This should be on the P-T Board, which is that echo chamber.

I've said this before. It's not a monopoly but you can make the argument, I think, that it's an oligopoly.

Now, should they be allowed to be that?
