Record hits dont mean agreement. Since they opposed Trump, of course they got hits from libs to mainstream media, to real cons who wanted to drive slowly by the car crash that is National Review conservatism.
Are you kidding me!? The libs police their ranks like no other. Can you say political correctness? That jersey professor with loads of political power had the temerity to say that women are different and lost his job. He was a lib. Nah, what’s pissin cons off is that Trump is an unknown quantity. We like the status quo. To our fault. We haven’t had such an unknown entity in the white house since Eisenhower. We cons don’t like change or different. Thats ok, I just want the house and the senate to give him a chance.

LOL of course. VDH is great. All the others though? Jonah Goldberg...out. Notice how they are doing the magicians trick. Look at all the issues we have in this hand, dont notice that conservatives are pissed off about what is in the other hand. National Review in my opinion is not doing any self examination. None of them. They want to steer us back to the comfy middle business as normal area. Notice we have been trying a reasonable response to immigration and we get Bush going for amnesty. Bush was NR’s guy. National Review is dead.
Don’t get me started on net neutrality. Bandwidth sells. An ISP can sell to a high volume page and charge them a volume discount and can try to get the most hits from web pages(guess what) get the most hits and make money. Or they can be forced to forced to charge even the most idiotic page the same amount even if it doesnt get more than 3 hits a month. Shoot, let me put it like this. JC Penny’s Kmart, Walmart, and Sears didn’t make their money, employ millions, and help our economy by being forced to sell products by the government. For every cheap and affordable product that they sold there were a million idiot/bad products they didnt sell. Same goes for ideas on radio.
No, there was always a market for talk radio, but during the 60s and 70s it was stifled by the fairness doctrine. It was the law of the land that said that for each opinion, an opposing opinion had to be aired at the same time, same bat channel. Its an oversimplication but it meant the destruction of the free exchange of ideas. Ideas are like everything, for sale. If they don’t sell, they should go out of business and businesses shouldnt be for forced to sell them. That means radio stations shouldnt have to air opinions that don’t sell to their listening audience. Listen if you think I am wrong, tell me why ABC, CBS, and NBC aren’t held to the same standard?
Hopefully and republican controlled House and Senate but I ain’t holding my breath. Congress could use the threat of underfunding ICE unless they toe the line but I ain’t holding my breath.
