I live in Grand Rapids, Michigan. I’ve been doing this for years, BUT…
I think now is the time where we go national and call our local radio stations asking them why they continue to support hate speech. Here in Grand Rapids, we have AM 1300 (WOOD), and the program director is Phil Tower. In my case, I ask why he supports Rush, Hannity, Shapiro, Beck, Kilmeade---all of them.
He never has a good answer, but I think we are near or at critical mass. I firmly believe that hate speech is a huge part of all of this. Hannity is the worse, because he has the largest audience, but we need to confront our local radio stations with the idea that hate is not supported. Ask them to provide radio that is more uplifiting—whatever that means to your community. One of the worst things about Hannity is that he lies. Over and over. Anyone who listens to his show can recite his mantra about locking Hillary up (even to this day) because of bleach bit, the Clinton Foundation, etc. etc.
In Grand Rapids, it is:
Help make a dent. Call your local station and demand action.
It’s beyond time that this type of hate speech ends.
Thanks.
