      An AM station, in a smaller market, that caters to those 50+ is what has you worked up?

        Are you asking conservatives or liberals? Pro-Russian outlets I've seen like RT push progressive politics more than they do conservative politics. The only area they might align somewhat with alt-conservative views is on foreign policy.

          I'm asking if you're ok with Russian propaganda being broadcast on American airwaves. It sounds like you are? Holy hell.

            Is it any worse than the liberal propaganda that we're inundated with on a daily basis?

              If everyone knows what it is then I don't see it having any effect one way or another.

              It's kinda like my cable provider. There is a Chinese news station done in English way up "the dial" that is pretty obviously getting their instructions from Beijing.

              I'm always still in trouble again

                      Retired folks are probably one of the most consistently active voting blocks. Just look at the power groups like AARP wields.

                        That post seems really dismissive of older people. Why would they be less important?

That's right! Blast the children in other nations into eternity, or limbless misery as they lay crippled from "OUR" bombers! This does not jell." - Leonard Ravenhill

                          Given that the US broadcasts Voice of America, which is by definition propaganda, it seems hypocritical to then say that other perspectives couldn't be allowed. I generally think there should be much more leeway with freedom of speech when the context is politically charged, which is the case here.

                          This is a totally different question from whether the station should actually do it.

                          (And no, I am not a Trump supporter. I voted against him and plan on doing it again.)

                              True, but old white guys, living in the Midwest, listening to AM talk radio, are already likely Trump voters anyway.
