There was a radio in every house and America listened to FDR all the time. Every big city had multiple newspapers and there were often three editions a day. FDR had powerful enemies. His programs were constantly under attack. But he kept us together. We need a man with Bush's ideas and FDR's ability to keep us together. It betrays the ideals of self-responsibility to keep blaming the other side.
People spend more time with TV than the folks of the 30s & 40s with radio and most was general programing.
In no was can the radio argument be equated with TV of today.
Not only the Leftwing words but selective films which stays with people the most.
