I do give Koch credit for promoting prison reform, I was surprised.

No, not controlled. When it comes to radio you would have a hard time finding a left leaning source in any market, Rudy Giuliani, Hannity and others dominate AM radio. Fox News is number one on cable. There are newspapers throughout the country that are a mixture.

I read many newpapers throughout the country, I always like to hear a local perspective when a national event occurs in state or small city or their opinion on national events.

The Tennessean newspaper is a very good news source, do you read them.

Given the number of MAGA loving republicans going to jail, it's probably a professional courtesy.

Check out Hartmann today about rural rage and how the rural areas control the country.

I was surprised to read there are 1500 conservative radio programs daily. I doubt Soros can beat that with his little part of radio.

Soros may try to buy another radio conglomerate (Cumulus) if the FTC allows it:

There are laws regarding how many radio stations 1 entity can own, so Soros will have to set up a shell corp to acquire Cumulus.

History... thread from Nov 2022...

Panic Move: Soros Funded Group To Purchase 18 US Based Spanish Radio Stations

So it looks like a longer term plan for Team Soros.

All this fuss about how Soros spends his money. The public will never hear the names of the true controllers of this country. The two that control Abbott and Texas are just recently getting revealed.

You'll never know their names.

Two are west Texas oil bajillionaires. One is from Pa. They all want vouchers. Rural Texas and the suburban non religious right do not. But it will happen next session.

Not all control is bad. However... Soros's attempt to control the narrative has but one goal, to create hate and division.
