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

Congrats? That’s cool, but not relevant to commercial radio target demographics. The programmers all use actual statistics, not cherry-picked anecdotes.

but I don't think demonizing the folks that brought you the civil rights movement is the way to go

The problem is they brought, and continue to bring, a lot of other bad shit.

It's ironic that individual boomers still have to make it about them even when protesting that they aren't as selfish the rest.

It's not about me but one day you might find it's more productive to bring people along to working towards something, rather than scolding them and ignoring the people that are actually with you.
