By Internet do you mean Western Civilization?

I'm not sure what I would be called, but institutionalizing the perpetuation of a particular party using hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars through propaganda, favors, and ki…

In the 80s, college stations were all I listened to other than WXRT when I was visiting friends in Chicago.
