Wanting to hear the reaction of US talk radio to the election results I tuned into WBEN and WHAM with portable near
a window and also WABC online. Limbsugh,Hannity, Bauerle, Curtis & Juliet. You would think that the world is coming to an end. The Democrats with their mail-in ballot campaign have somehow through a monstrous conspiracy
through massive amounts of fraudulent ballots staged a Biden victory resulting in a stolen victory which rightfully
belongs to Trump. What a bunch of garbage. This is dangerous propaganda because these guys are also urging
listeners to do something otherwise the Democrats will control their lives and destroy the constitution. The programs
are basically commercials interrupted by this drivel. I am all for freedom of speech but this has gone too far.

Turns out you didn't have to go to U.S. radio to hear it.
Mark Patrone, who's on our old favourite Sauga 960 in Mississauga between 9-11 AM weekdays, has been sending this stuff out since last week's vote. He claims the coronavirus was all a plot by China to ruin the West's economy, which would then take down Trump, resulting in all future business investments being redirected to Beijing, because they own Joe Biden & Justin Trudeau.
Or something like that. The fact that it would be almost impossible to carry out such a complicated plot without anyone knowing or leaks developing doesn't seem to have occurred to him.
It makes my head spin. As many here know, I listen to a little bit of everything and up to now, I actually liked some of Patrone's show because he has interesting guests and some of his criticisms of the Liberals in Ottawa were actually thought provoking. Plus, he's a former CTV reporter and an ex-CRTC Commissioner.
But he's spinning this so far into the Twilight Zone, that I half expect Rod Serling to come on and do his extro.
