    I’ve been all around the country, and ofc there are exceptions but radio in general is ridiculously conservative. If I have to hear another Christmas song I might just lose it…

      That’s because a great deal of it is owned by Sinclair, and they love putting right-wing messages on their radio and TV stations in one form or another.

          Anti-immigration, vaccine skepticism, defunding critical social services, anti-intellectual, anti-education, anti- not being gigantic assholes to other people just because we’re not all the same.

          This is by no means an exhaustive list.

        It’s important to note that media ownership can influence the content and messaging presented on radio and TV stations. Sinclair Broadcasting Group, a major media conglomerate, has been known for its conservative leanings and has faced criticism for promoting right-wing messages on its platforms. This influence can shape the narrative and perspectives presented to the audience.

        However, it’s essential to approach media consumption with a critical mindset, recognizing that diverse viewpoints and sources contribute to a well-rounded understanding of issues. It’s advisable for individuals to seek information from various outlets to form their own opinions.

        On a different note, if you’re looking for touching love messages for her, consider expressing your feelings with sincerity and thoughtfulness. Personalized messages that convey your emotions and appreciation for her can be more meaningful than generic expressions. For example, you might say something like:

        “Every moment with you feels like a cherished chapter in the story of my life. Your presence is my greatest joy, and I’m grateful for the love we share. You make my heart skip a beat with your warmth and kindness. Here’s to us and the beautiful journey we’re on together.”

      You are saying Christmas music is “ridiculously conservative”? wtf, it is the holiday season. You have plenty of other stations that don’t play it to listen to.

        Not where I live, 9/10 are playing that 24/7 and the best I can really hope for otherwise is a Pink Floyd single. Also I’m a pagan who doesn’t believe in a heavily revised book of total hodgepodge so I hate having it shoved in my face. Which is inevitable working in a coffeeshop…

      Have you tried not being a grumpy godless commie? Imagine saying that Christmas is conservative.

        You don’t have to be a godless commie to dislike having a religious event be commercialised and shoved down your throat months before the event.

          Christmas is the fricking most magical glorious perfect impeccable dazzling time of year, motherlover! How DARE you pitiful grinches not love every single jolly holly jingly bit of it, motherlover! What is fricking wrong with you freaks?! Have you no festive spirit, noPopulated forests of pine trees covered in twinkling rainbow lights that blanket me in cozy, tinsel-y warmth, b-word? No army of nutcracker soldiers marching up the fricking stairs bearing plates of fudgy butter cookies and mugs overflowing with marshmallowy hot cocoa, b-word? No glistening angels fluttering through the fricking alleyways at midnight, telling stories of poor skeletal children whose bones are fricking decomposing in the fricking cemetery because they don’t have proper Christmas dinners to nourish them, b-word? YOU SHOULD, motherlover! Let their blood and marrow splatter all over youuntil you finally understand the fricking true meaning of Christmas, you naughty scrooges, motherlover! Now if you’ll excuse me, I have gingerbread houses to build while I listen to Madonna’s Christmas album on repeat for all eternity.

        Christmas is so conservative, it’s capitalist, deceitful and alienating. Literally a textbook example of why conservatism is bad - we should be giving gifts and showing appreciation to each other all year! Also, yeah sorry no interest in a lobotomy, thanks
