On Monday, The Washington Post reported that Cumulus Media, a broadcast owner that employs several of the country's most successful right-wing talk radio hosts, is ordering an end to conspiracy theories about the election being stolen — and threatening to end the contract of any host who continues with them.

We need to help induce national calm NOW," wrote Brian Philips, the executive vice president of content for Cumulus, in an internal memo. He added that "will not tolerate any suggestion that the election has not ended. The election has been resolved and there are no alternate acceptable 'paths.'"

"Atlanta-based Cumulus owns 416 radio stations in 84 regions across the country. Many of its stations broadcast a talk format, a medium that has been dominated by a conservative point of view for decades. In addition to its national personalities, it employs local talk-radio hosts in many of its markets," The Washington Post reported. "Cumulus's biggest stations include WMAL in Washington, KABC in Los Angeles, WLS in Chicago and KGO in San Francisco, all of which air a news-talk format."

Cumulus, which is the third-largest AM and FM broadcaster in the United States, has frequently put a thumb on the scale for Republicans, at one point blocking its radio stations from running an interview with former South Bend Mayor and Secretary of Transportation nominee Pete Buttigieg.
 
Great, only about 25 years too late.

These mongrels at the capitol have been fed right-wing idiocy and lies for almost 2 generations, much of it fueled by Cumulus. Fuck this guy.
 
it is a fine line between censorship and doing what needs to be banned. nobody with an IQ believes it is an easy, black or white issue. I just got banned on facebook for a month for calling ted cruz a fake christian pig. how does that make any sense? but it is their forum, their rules, and i have no real recourse. but life goes on. but i do believe speech that incites violence has to be banned, and there is nothing wrong with flagging posts that spew conspiracy theories that are blatantly false.

But this was (and still is) OK.


It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.

Is this more "the shit hitting the fan" or "the chickens coming home to roost"?

Hopefully the end result will be a lot less hate in America.
