What you're describing is simply the Big Tobacco playbook from the 1950s being adapted into modern communications methods. If we didn't have internet media, I guarantee you we'd still be seeing pandemic misinformation on AM radio and climate change lies on news networks funded by Shell and BP.
isn't OP making same point? That is, every generation is similar innterms of being influeced. Why are you guys arguing? 😅
I dunno, around here we only use AM radio as an emergency source of information for weather and road hazards.
I've never heard a political nutjob advertising any AM radio station. Only ads I see for AM radio is on the side of the highway in case of emergencies.
