You are saying Christmas music is “ridiculously conservative”? wtf, is the holiday season. You have plenty of other stations that don’t play it to listen to.

I’ve been all around the country, and ofc there are exceptions but radio in general is ridiculously conservative. If I have to hear another Christmas song I might just lose it…

Not where I live, 9/10 are playing that 24/7 and the best I can really hope for otherwise is a Pink Floyd single. Also I’m a pagan who doesn’t believe in a heavily revised book of total hodgepodge so I hate having it shoved in my face.

Have you tried not being a grumpy godless commie? Imagine saying that Christmas is conservative.

You don’t have to be a godless commie to dislike having a religious event be commercialised and shoved down your throat months before the event.

Christmas is the fricking most magical glorious perfect impeccable dazzling time of year, motherlover! How DARE you pitiful grinches not love every single jolly holly jingly bit of it, motherlover! What is fricking wrong with you freaks?! Have you no festive spirit, noPopulated forests of pine trees covered in twinkling rainbow lights that blanket me in cozy, tinsel-y warmth, b-word? No army of nutcracker soldiers marching up the fricking stairs bearing plates of fudgy butter cookies and mugs overflowing with marshmallowy hot cocoa, b-word? No glistening angels fluttering through the fricking alleyways at midnight, telling stories of poor skeletal children whose bones are fricking decomposing in the fricking cemetery because they don’t have proper Christmas dinners to nourish them, b-word? YOU SHOULD, motherlover! Let their blood and marrow splatter all over youuntil you finally understand the fricking true meaning of Christmas, you naughty scrooges, motherlover! Now if you’ll excuse me, I have gingerbread houses to build while I listen to Madonna’s Christmas album on repeat for all eternity.

Christmas is so conservative, it’s capitalist, deceitful and alienating. Literally a textbook example of why conservatism is bad - we should be giving gifts and showing appreciation to each other all year!

You know you’re in Lemmy, right?

That’s because a great deal of it is owned by Sinclair, and they love putting right-wing messages on their radio and TV stations in one form or another.

Oh yes Sinclair Media the only company that could make Clear Channel(I Heart Media) look like the good guys

Serious question: what’s the deal with iHeartRadio? It seems like they are involved in podcasts and the local radio station, but I usually download my mp3 and don’t use apps, so not sure what’s going on there…?

They’re a media conglomerate that gobbles up radio stations
intensely_human@lemm.ee 11 months ago
What kinds of right-wing messages do they put on their air?
AnxiousOtter@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Anti-immigration, vaccine skepticism, defunding critical social services, anti-intellectual, anti-education, anti- not being gigantic assholes to other people just because we’re not all the same.
This is by no means an exhaustive list.

Thanks for elucidating on this!
