They've basically conceded the AM airwaves to the radical right. A DUer once wrote that AM frequencies are great for broad, open regions, while FM frequencies are more suited to cities & urban areas. Too bad billionaires like that Tom Steyer guy don't put their money into a liberal AM station, even at a loss.

This is what we need more of. I don't get why we don't have an entire force of dem politicians tweeting/posting/talking about issues in this way.
