4. A State Senator here in the poorest part of our state
Sun Mar 15, 2026, 02:54 PM

just bought a radio station, with the expressed purpose of making sure these kind of feel good stories get prominent coverage, instead of stories that put America in a bad light, i.e true reporting. His is an area that has just had FEMA deny critically needed disaster assistance, basically because they live in a Blue State -- which is kinda funny as it is a Red voting region.

Whether it is Sinclair or Clear Channel buying up local TV and radio stations, or CNN getting to purge its real journalists, or this crackpot here in Vermont, the goal is the same. Happy talk us to death, and make an increasingly ignorant population even less informed.
