Find some talent and make the pitch for the format.

But remember you cannot make people listen. And if they do not listen, it will go the way of Air America.

It must be able to compete in the Market Place of ideas, as Rush would say.

Talk Radio could use some pro Labor folks not too far off the deep end and vice versa.

Problem is the Internet acts like the recent assassination attempt didn’t happen.

It is answering more questions by AI without linking to websites for that information.
“the more questions Google answers without a click, the less traffic those “answering” news sites will get. Less traffic means fewer ad impressions, which means lower revenue.”
“Google is working hard to reduce the number of times searchers need to leave google.com to get answers to their questions. For all the times that Google has said it’s not in the content business, it’s not hard to imagine a future where its mission to “organize the world’s information” goes way beyond spidering and linking and into algorithmically processing for answers instead of PageRank.”

(Old link but I couldn’t find the new information on the latest steps they’re taking that was in the news lately)

A list of 23 alternatives to google, most I never heard of, and they missed others like “qwant” for example.

Remember the motto “don’t be evil?”
The propaganda has gotten to the point where they believe they’re the only truth available, and if they’re AI does not know it it will come up with a make-believe story that sounds convincing and call that the truth.
It’s funny to hear Kim commando ask AI if that’s her real name… it made up a story, giving her a new real name complete with background that was generated from thin air. Never trust AI answers, how many people have died following roads on Google maps that didn’t go were they said they did?
