He brags about the carrot, but is real quiet about the stick–a bill in Congress to give the National Highway Safety Administration the power to force the issue.
Yes, kids: Pete Buttigieg as the head of the Department of Transportation, is the boss of that.
Bacon disingenuously claims this is all about safety.
In a pig's eye it is.
AM radio is the #1 conduit of right wing propaganda in this country and Bacon knows it.
While it's true that many people rely on AM radio for Emergency Alert System and FEMA announcements, it is also true that participation in EAS is optional for both AM and FM radio stations. If Bacon were less hypocritical (dream on) he would be cheerleading Big Government to mandate that all radio stations, including FM, which most people listen to, become part of EAS as part of their license to broadcast on airways owned by the public.
