    This needs to be the mission going forward. Rush Limbaugh started it and now the people of America need to end it. Right wing media has brought us to Nazism in America.

      The real problem is who do you go after first? It ain’t just Limbaugh now, ya got everything from mega churchs to podcasts to YouTubers to local talk radio. Personally I think going after churches would be best since it’d have an outsized impact and work on multiple levels.

        I think social media plays a far bigger influential role nowadays in terms of raw numbers. A lot of younger conservative boomers and Gen Xers really consume the shit out of platforms like Facebook. If you regulated Facebook as an actual Media Outlet, they’d suddenly be liable for outright libel and other grossly false ads they permit and promote.

          Not disagreeing moreso gonna elaborate on my point, when I say attack churches I specifically mean the big ones like the Seventh Day Adventists, Mormons, and Southern Baptists. They are all directly associated with the conservative movement on some level, damaging their attendence numbers will do an outsized good since it may strip them of some cash flow. Also it’s a lot easier to damage their influence than a large amorphous corporation like Facebook, far easier to make a church unlivable by pouring liquid ass or cat piss concentrate into the HVAC system.
