In reply to Mark Levin is really painful

Philip Bump of WaPo has got Mark Levin's number, which is basically "nice gig if you can get it,. getting paid for ranting whatever you can think up alongside name calling":

Read the article that prompted Mark Levin to repeatedly refer to me as fat during his little radio show this evening. https://t.co/9ejKi9O5DN

He has fun on his radio show! It's a nice thing he has, good for him!

Anyway, listening to Levin one becomes less surprised that 69% of Fox News-viewing Republicans think left-wing activists are to blame for Jan. 6 while only 3% think Trump was.https://t.co/9ejKi9O5DN pic.twitter.com/Dke93Iz94H

two very different people interestingly opine that to their surprise, TikToK seems to be a uniter, not a divider:

Obviously, my Twitter and Facebook feeds are full of anti-Trump white people, but like this guy, I've noticed the way TikTok contradicts impressions one might get from other apps. Maybe vice versa, too? pic.twitter.com/n6CnNXjIab

Terrible, but it seems GOP in general won't be the cash crop we are used to: https://youtu.be/1q1jqbJM2v4

Heh I always felt that too! Way back, way before even the Obama presidency, always always an extremely painful listen. One of the worst. His only talent is incitement! Even just his intonation.

In reply to oh wait, my bad, I forgot,

When fascist movents have taken off elsewhere, they had no problem taking on conservative religious or political groups when they didn't cooperate with what they sought after. The Catholic Church has been a frequent target of death squads. When you really think the whole system was against you, censorship just validates that persecution complex.

from Forbes coverage by Jack Brewster "Stop Disputing Biden’s Election Win Or Be Terminated, Radio Chain Tells Conservative Talk-Show Hosts"

[....] KEY FACTS

“We need to help induce national calm NOW,” Brian Philips, the executive vice president of content for Cumulus, wrote in an internal memo to employees Wednesday, which was first reported by Inside Music Media and the Washington Post, as the pro-Trump rioters stormed the Capitol.

The company “will not tolerate any suggestion that the election has not ended,” Philips went on, adding, “The election has been resolved and there are no alternate acceptable ‘paths.’”

In the memo, Philips writes that if an employee breaks this policy, “you can expect to separate from the company immediately.”

Cumulus Media, which owns more than 400 radio stations across the country, including WMAL in Washington and KABC in Los Angeles, is home to prominent conservative hosts such as Mark Levin, Ben Shapiro and Dan Bongino.

In a statement to Forbes on Monday, Shapiro said he never received the memo from Cumulus and was not one of their employees, adding he had “never failed to accept the result of the election.”

Levin, Bongino and Cumulus did not respond to Forbes’ request for comment Monday. [....]

there really is big anti

In reply to Talk-radio owner orders conservative hosts to temper election fraud rhetoric

there really is big anti-Trump culture change along these lines going on (whether it holds is another question).

I've noted lots of examples with a snowballing effect in two threads

big corporate (and even the PGA) disowning anyone supporting, tons of em!
big social media "de-platforming" extremists in mass quantities

I haven't seen any evidence of this trend abating, it's growing apace. The amazing thing is that there seem to be few grifter contrarian types looking to prosper off marketing to the damned, basically right now they have no where to go in "respectful" society (Not all good, does set them up further to present themselves as persecuted victims of the elites and "the man".)

Interestingly Murdoch/Fox was actually an early adopter as far as cracking down on the election conspiracizing I had a thread on that too, with some related media business reactions, but there's chaos on that right now after Jan. 6, they're all confused on coming up with alternate lies to splain: what happened.
