I think that was their point (though I'm not altogether sure where they were going with it). Anyway, there's a case to be made that radio and television advertising are less malign by virtue of being less targeted. They can only run adverts which appeal to everyone in the region they cover, which is a much less powerful tool.

Until you consider groups like Sinclair Broadcast Group[1] who control enough region's media to start playing games.

I've read about that. It's astonishing. That's much more of a worry, admittedly, the way they target local news. It's still much less potent than Facebook-grade targeting, but it's a rung above national news, granted.
