Talk radio is conservative where I live, and I am not aware of talk radio nation wide.

You're basing the political "bias" of social media platforms based upon donations? Are you kidding me? Look at the actual content. It's 100% dominated by right-wing conspiracy B.S. and misinformation. I watch YouTube all the time but I can't escape all the right-wing garbage.

And yes, talk radio EVERYWHERE is dominated by the right. I live in Madison and it's still dominated by the 'wingers.

Weird...when I have been on some those platforms, and I didn't see any right-wing conspiracy b.s....saw a lot of wrestling clips, police videos, animal videos, and...well let's just say videos of beautiful "scenery".  But you saying it's 100% dominated by right-wing conspiracy B.S. and misinformation isn't totally made up....

Good grief, if talking Madison WI they were liberal in the 80s before liberal was a thing.  They were the most liberal Big 10 campus.

It's an advertisement.  She's paying for it to be shown.
