Marketing doesn't care if you like the show.
Marketing doesn't care if you hate the show.

Marketing DOES care if you listen to the show. That's what sells commercials, and selling commercials is 100% of what radio is all about.

I chose to ignore them, the numbers they get for ratings will not be affected by my radio.

That relies on the assumption that this is a commercial venture, which is an untrue assumption in this case. This is a propaganda medium, not an effort to make money.

Who needs marketing when you have George Soros? This is just a front-venue, another way to launder foreign money.

You can listen to them for laughs, if you want to. If you aren't an Arbitron diary keeper, you won't affect their ratings.

Unless you're an arbitron member, or part of some other ratings service, your listening to them will not affect the ratings one way or the other.
