I love how history is repeating itself. Remember the Democrat's response to the success of Rush Limbaugh and other conservative radio voices last century? Now it the start of the twenty-first century, with the rise of a different media platform...and they expect that dollars will get massive number of eyeballs and more to hear to their message.

I wait to see how the Democrats market their new outlets. More important, I wait to see the numbers.

Air America Radio. It was a desperate attempt to copy Limbaugh's success. I used to listen for the ridiculousness of it. The Al Franklin Show always had some unknown person laughing in the background at all his jokes (so that we'd know what was funny). Rachel Maddow had her little slot to bash Republicans while trying to be funny. Mike Malloy was the craziest of the bunch, screaming and calling everyone on the right "rat bastards". They eventually went broke because no one was listening.

Thousands of these types on Tik Tok, Instagram, Youtube, Snapchat and Twitter have dramatically changed attitudes to Israel.

But clueless Boomers are oblivious, and can’t imagine anything except another Air America.

Repub billionaires could fund their own on social media, but they are too cheap and can’t see the immediate payoff.

Left billionaires are willing to invest for the long term.

Hey !... Who is it that has the “high time preference”, again ?...

I got a funny feelin’ that the undisciplined and uneducated “influencers” are going to be pissing all over one another and pay no attention to the Republicans or to issues. It will be a huge echo chamber. But at least it will keep the base from looking at the world outside the Democratic Party.
