I didn't care about Twitter before then, and i don't care about X now. Don't even have an account. He can run that thing into the ground, for all I care.

I too share the general concern that a politically active wealthy person is purchasing a large media conglomerate. While it's too soon to know how Soros will influence the direction of the radio stations he has purchased, we can look at what's happened at the television stations bought by Sinclair Broadcasting - in particular during the period when stations were required to run an opinion segment from Trump adviser Boris Epshteyn - as an example not to follow. We may also see a change in real time as Sinclair CEO David Smith and conservative commentator Armstrong Williams take ownership of the Baltimore Sun.

Are you familiar with modern music stations? Sounds like you haven't listened to radio since the 80s. Most music stations don't have news at all anymore. Some of them don't have DJs anymore. You're hearing either music or advertisements. Mostly advertisements.

Yeah, 30 news stations out of more than 200. What an impact they must make. Dontcha just hate how political they get when giving traffic updates or weather reports, which is at least 25 percent of each hour.

I wish someone would change the formats of the sports gambling stations. Annoying.

Not it won't. I'm a Democrat. We don't limit ourselves to one ballot.

Same in NY, all right wing radio including Giuliani having his own spot.

Is the timing of the biggest Lib on Earth buying America's 2nd largest radio company 9 months prior to a national election a coincidence?

I think not. These radical Libs will not go away quietly.

210 radio stations are involved.
Can you name any of these 200+ stations and their listening audience.

That's a quote from Soros. That's how HE defined himself. He derives this title from his , also self proclaimed, "abstract philosophical ideas". Take issue with him, for ill defining himself. By the way, I couldn't give two shi*'s if you take it seriously.

Soros says, "the thoughts of these participants are part of the reality about which they have to think". Every Marxist understands these insights as aspects of dialectical materialism, and even Soros feels that he must explain that "the only reason I do not use 'the word' more prominently is that I do not want to be burdened by the excess baggage that comes with it". Soros's notion of an 'excess baggage' carried by Marxist philosophy is based on his distorted perception that "Marx propounded a deterministic theory of history".

Fair enough. Generally speaking those words are meaningless. In this case, I won't argue with you.
