In the past 5-10 years all the populist idiot politicians came to power because of internet media, young people sharing hod knows what bullshit with eachother without ever thinking what’s true and not.
The pandemic and climate change are two enormous problems (one likely terminal) that were riddled with misinformation that caused so much suffering for nothing…
The next generation is just as bad as the current, and previous
What you’re describing is simply the Big Tobacco playbook from the 1950s being adapted into modern communications methods. If we didn’t have internet media, I guarantee you we’d still be seeing pandemic misinformation on AM radio and climate change lies on news networks funded by Shell and BP.
I dunno, around here we only use AM radio as an emergency source of information for weather and road hazards.
I’ve never heard a political nutjob advertising any AM radio station. Only ads I see for AM radio is on the side of the highway in case of emergencies.
It is still the number one way to influence the voting population, who are in rural areas in their pickup trucks and listening on farms and job sites. They dont advertise stations; they advertise their syndicated shows. Limbaugh, Jones, Metaxis, Prager, Hannity, Ingrahm, etc etc etc. There is a reason that there has been a steady rise of radical righties and fascists since the mid-90s.
Aren’t easily influenced?
Have you been living under a rock?

isn’t OP making same point? That is, every generation is similar innterms of being influeced. Why are you guys arguing? 😅
AM radio is still the #1 method of propagandizing
