    The thing about American freedom is that its freedom of the powerful over everyone else.

    Oh, there’s no more AM radio to broadcast right wing news? Force it in all cars. Customers don’t deserve the freedom to choose.

    Yet they call themselves the free world.

      What the fuck kinda comment is this? Want freedom to choose? Don’t flip on the AM radio then. That is literally more freedom than not having the option.

      AM radio has longer reach than FM and is how emergency information for interstate highway travel is communicated. Keeping it is a good thing.
