[grc] The Left's Low-power Coup -- Prometheus WON!

[Max]

I want in on that Soros money as well!

Seriously ... If we're going to get painted as some vast well-funded
Network it would be nice if that were actually true !

Because I do think the United States would be a much less insane place if
Amy Goodman, Jim Hightower and other such people regularly got a chance to
inform local debate fueled with the hearings of local City council's and
County Commissioners and supervisors that were aired on the station for all
the citizens to hear what they're doing locally and connect the layers of
the political onion from the local through the state levels to the Federal
and stop focusing all the attention only on the presidency Congress and the
Senate.

In fact, to heck with LPFM-only as some kind of vast conspiracy!
 I have a friend of mine who I just installed a solar panel system for that
edits a radio magazine who thinks that we should set up nonprofits to
receive failing rural AM radio stations and convert them into Community
radio stations.

I have a diagnosis of cancer and so I literally cannot live with the world
that Donald Trump and his minions would foist upon us from their 25%
support condemning the 75% of us to early Graves and so I feel that I am on
now on a "what's left with my life" mission to build as many Community
radio stations in any format that I can!

So how do we fund this for real and fulfill their accusations?

Sincerely, Max

Wow is all I can say -- this turned up in a google news search for
Prometheus...

Here's some high-quality (well-written, good research, credible-sounding)
conservative fear-mongering propaganda, and an elevation of Prometheus to
considerable lefty heights!  It's built on a bed of unstated false
premises, for example that because LPFM was most-visibly started and
supported by lefties, that LPFM stations only run lefty content. This is a
variation of the false, but historically effective, "myth" of the "liberal
media", which is itself also loosely based on shooting the messenger
(surveys that most journalists are not Republicans) rather than systematic
analysis of the content produced.  It's also interesting that of the
rotating photographs on our web page, they chose the one most frightening
to many altrighters: _women_ of _color_ with _children_ -- translation: end
of the white race. Probably will be quite effective in Trumpland.

Can I please have a decent salary to write propaganda? Oh wait, of course
Soros is handing me money already! How could I have missed that?!
