New electric cars won’t have AM radio. Rightwingers claim political sabotage

Conservatives say liberals want to kill talk radio. But there's plenty else on the AM dial - much of it essential

Charlie Kirk, radio host and founder of the rightwing youth group Turning Point USA, believes that a conspiracy may be afoot. Whether they're doing this intentionally or not, the consequence will be ... an all-out attack on AM radio," he told the listeners of his popular syndicated show.

In an appearance on Fox, the television and radio host Sean Hannity gave his viewers a similar warning: This would be a direct hit politically on conservative talk radio in particular, which is what most people go to AM radio to listen to." Mark Levin, another longtime radio host, agreed: They finally figured out how to attack conservative talk radio," he told his listeners in April.
