I thiiiiiiink this was fear mongering in line with the whole uh... Hannity? Whatever that maniacs name was who has/had the AM station. Basically the pre-fox republican mouthpiece.
Are you thinking of Rush Limbaugh? Who later actually died of (lung) cancer because he wouldn't stop smoking?
Uhhhhhhh I've mostly blocked it out, but maybe? It was just some dude that yelled a lot and I vividly remember being in the car when the soliders or whatever had recently been beheaded (it was on the news cycle?), and he was like "hrrr drrr people are trying to keep the truth away from 'mericans!" so he aired part of the audio clip of them being beheaded???!?!
idk it was fucked.
No this was on AM radio 0: my mom specifically listened to him on AM because idk he was too radical or whatever for FM? lol idk how it works, but they have been at it for a long while.
George Norry?
Someone else suggested Rush Limbaugh in a different comment and it is ringing a bell, I'm thinking it was him?
Ah ok I see. I just remembered he had the coast to coast AM radio station, and he got into some wacky stuff.
