“Local” news reporters are among the most contemptible; almost all “local” news stations are owned by large conglomerates like Cumulus, Townsquare, iHeart, or are “affiliates” of national networks.
They posture as “local” but mostly all report the same nationally-curated crap.
If you’ve ever lived in a “red” programming market, you’ll know that any station owned by these companies basically acts as a subversive force on the local culture.

DFW radio is a wasteland. AM and FM.
Gallagher is like an even more boring and repetitive version of Hannity, which is really saying something.
All of the Salem Radio hosts are RINO lightweights though so it figures.
No wonder Audacy is bankrupt.
That must have been it
The morning segment with Gallagher and Davis has absolutely no value whatsoever.
Even "The Ticket" went woke.
Jon Justice in the Twin Cities market is worth a listen. KTLK am 1130. He has a podcast. He’s a voice of reason in this crazy world. M-F 6 to 9. Good guy.
Yes
You beat me by 8 seconds
Aww, who’s counting? We think alike and that’s all that matters.......;)
Wow. Chi-Coms paying for this article?
I was up there to pick up a skid steer with my cousin about a week ago. I was surfing AM and FM. Both bands had nothing.
I headed south on my way to Giddings and was able to pick up a good country station out of Waco.
Stop Listening to “Talk Radio” Shows

They posture as “local” but mostly all report the same nationally-curated crap.
If you’ve ever lived in a “red” programming market, you’ll know that any station owned by these companies basically acts as a subversive force on the local culture.
iHeart and ABC News are never going to allow anything transgressive on their assembly line.
You basically have to seek out underground citizen journalism and “outside the beltway” publications that aren’t owned by these companies if you want any actual local reporting.
The worst is when these phonies host call-in shows where they dutifully ridicule any caller who manages to sneak a dissenting opinion past the screener.
Doesn’t happen often, but the hosts become audibly upset when it does. You can hear the anger in their voices.
People who work in this industry are unimpressive and dim, almost without fail; being handed a curated list of stories and talking points makes them feel important and sharp, so when somebody goes off-script they take it with personal offense.
The real redpill on talk radio is that the call-ins are intended to be stupid by design as a way of bolstering whatever narrative the show is pushing.
Some programs make a big show of “inviting disagreement,” but this is merely a set-piece meant for the host to just over-talk the dissenters.
If somebody brings hard facts, the host will just say stuff like “I dunno about that one there bud” in his 90-IQ Fred Flintstone voice.
I am forced to conclude that talk radio is essentially a form of psychic terrorism with a dual-purpose depending on the intelligence of the listener.
For the dim, it’s comforting containment.
For the mentally curious, it’s akin to Chinese water torture.
Living in a “red state” teaches you some hard lessons about how clueless your average GOP voter really is; although they may superficially recognize that “The Left Has Gone Insane,” GOP voters have a deep naivete that permeates their entire understanding how our political system works.
In the online “dissident space,” we more or less take it for granted that the institutions are totally corrupt and functionally perverse, that the media misrepresents basically everything, and that the idea of democracy is more or less a farce.
But your typical GOP voter in “red states” is, at best, mouthing the words along to observations like these.
They’ll turn on Dan Bongino or the local Boomer Talk Hour and listen to screeds about how The FBI Is Corrupt and Joe Biden Is The Most Corrupt President In History and all the rest, but then pivot to talking about the election.
It’s like there’s no functional understanding of how bad things actually are.
They still believe in our elections and in the legitimacy of the institutions.
The stuff about “corruption” is just empty words for them, a set of dopamine-generating slurs they can hurl at Democrats they dislike and not much more.

In many markets talk radio has excellent (conservative leaning) talk show hosts who cover local issues—and do a great job of it.
Howie Carr has been killing it in Boston for decades—from the Chappaquiddick days to the anti-white racism of the current Boston mayor.
Local” news reporters are among the most contemptible; almost all “local” news stations.
Radio and TV more so people view it that’s what keeps them ignorant of the facts they take the bait they pimp.
81.000.000 votes didn’t just come from rigging alone.
I did......the day talk radio died.......Rush Limbaugh
Seriously, MegaDittoes brother.
Nobody will ever fill the big shoes Rush left, but I do like Michael Berry out of Houston.
He is also syndicated in markets all around the U.S.

Seriously, MegaDittoes brother. Well I appreciate that. I raised my grandkids on Rush.....Rush babies so to speak. They’re all grown now and we’re so proud of them. Good upstanding, hardworking adults.....except for one who won’t be 18 until next month but she’s a heck of a ball player that would have probably gotten a scholarship but she fell in love and all that talent and hard work went down the crapper but she’s a hard worker and trying to make up her mind about college......a radiologist or skin care expert.....don’t ask, it has a name but I still don’t understand it......lol......btw I’m a “sistah” and lots of people get it wrong and I’m not offended in the least....I took parts of our grandson’s name and made it my posting name. I see by your name “dr.Steve”......could that be Dr. Steve Turley who I love and respect?
“The Ticket”
That sounds familiar. Is that the one that has the guy who imitates Nolan Ryan? Our son, who lives in the Ft. Worth area told us about that and we listened to it and almost died laughing.
