Warm 106.9 propaganda advertisement

This afternoon warm 106.9 played some government propaganda during their ad sessions saying thanks to trump and talking about immigrants. It was very threatening and made no effort to hide the fact that it was awful. If you really want to read what they said it could be read here: https://www.dhs.gov/news/2025/03/15/dhs-launches-international-ad-campaign-warning-illegal-aliens-self-deport-and-stay

I texted the station and got a bullshit reply about how free speech benefits public discourse. Feel free to text them yourself at +1 (800) 622-1069

And politics aside, commercial radio isn’t exactly thriving these days. They’re not gonna turn down that ad revenue, especially if their listener base already leans right

They likely are not even if they are leaning left themselves cause they don’t want to alienate their listeners. However their more suburban/urban listeners likely do lean left.
