"Radio Sputnik, a media service funded by the Kremlin, airs daily on three stations in Kansas City. Alpine Broadcasting Corp. owner Peter Schartel is paid by Russian interests to broadcast pro-Vladimir Putin programming on them all."
"“Live from the divided states of America,” announces the host of “Fault Lines Radio” show. Produced in Washington, D.C., the program airs locally on AM radio station KCXL. Yes, we’re talking about a radio station spouting Russian propaganda from the heartland — just outside Kansas City. And why, you might ask, are Russian talking points airing on area radio stations? Money talks. Or we should say rubles."
"If Schartel had ethics, the show’s run would end here. It’d be no surprise if it doesn’t. KCXL was a standard-issue, right-wing propaganda station before it became Putin’s Midwest hub. But apparently, rah-rah Moscow agitprop paid better."

Where else, but Kansas, but I am sure in time, given the financial benefits, it will spread throughout several Red States, demagoguery always sells big on the right, regardless of its origin

If we do it would be nice if we could somehow spare Overland Park. My 1st wife was from there and Im kinda partial to the area.
