How can Michigan State (11) and University of Michigan (7) continue to broadcast sports on 18 radio stations that excuse racism and the kind of terrorism we saw exposed in Michigan?
Their black athletes, all their athletes, have been used to excuse racism on those stations since they were bought by Republicans to create the propaganda monopoly that has dominated political messaging in the US the last 30 years. Those 18 stations feature the Rush Limbaugh show and tomorrow Fri Oct 9, Trump and Limbaugh will hold a ‘virtual rally’ when Trump calls the show.
And those are just 2 of 87 universities supporting 260 Limbaugh stations.
A few weeks ago Limbaugh claimed Black Lives Matter protestors “executed a Trump supporter” and “danced and cheered”.
Limbaugh pushed Trump through the primaries and called COVID a hoax. He has denied global warming for 30 years.
All those stations have local talk show hosts who likely followed the Limbaugh lead and cheered on and then excused the armed protestors at the Michigan capitol building.
How can these universities continue to associate their schools with these despicable racist COVID-denying assholes? They already broadcast sports on apolitical radio stations like sports talk and music stations and nothing’s stopping them from finding more apolitical alternatives.
This whole disaster is coming full circle — the single most important voice in creating this disaster will interview his friend, golf partner, and boss. None of this ‘greatness’ would have been possible without Limbaugh’s help as point man for 1500 well-coordinated radio stations that Putin has probably been feeding since at least 2008.
Will they continue to attack Governor Whitmer tomorrow from radio stations that would probably fold or have to change to other programming if Michigan State and the University of Michigan re-read and finally honor their mission statements?
Both of these despicable cretins have lung problems. Limbaugh has stage 4 lung cancer, likely from the cigarettes he told tens of millions of listeners for many years didn’t cause cancer. Trump has COVID, who Limbaugh, in coordination with Trump, told tens of millions was a hoax. Today Trump was coughing on the Hannity show.
I’ll probably have to listen.
