Nope: documenting all of the awful and shitty things conservatives said on the radio wasn't a thing back then.

As a kid in the 80s who detested the evangelical churches I was forced to attend, one thing I do remember: Literally dozens of people in these churches were going to Ethiopia at a time, and constant food drives as well. I've been on mission trips myself to Haiti.
Have you ever gone to Haiti? Have YOU ever handed out food in any third world nation? Say what you want about the evangelicals (believe me, I have more resentment than anyone), at least they actually DO stuff instead of just virtue signaling.
edit: tribalism has existed for all of human history as a function of brain structures older than the written word, which new thing are you referring to?
edit2: what have you done for us lately? In other words, the fun part about the 80s being 20 years ago is that they were actually 40 years ago. Consider a local food drive that does not require jet fuel? You are probably surrounded by unmet need.
edit3: republicans didn't include a 'moral majority' of evangelicals who openly claimed AIDS was literally an act of god in punishment of homosexuality? 1> https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2007/05/07/see-aids-as... 2> https://jme.bmj.com/content/medethics/14/3/154.full.pdf 3> https://digitalcommons.cedarville.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?ar...

HN guidelines state we must assume people are telling the truth. Funny I didn't get that assumption. Just pointing out the hypocrisy.
Also, it isn't really "charity": they force people to worship their god by withholding their aid until they do so. There is a long history behind this. That's largely why they are despised.
But seriously: if you believe 100% of the people on the internet, especially when they are enraged and trying to prove a point, I feel bad for you.
Partisan capture of media is a disaster. Once CNN/WaPo/NYT followed the Fox News model of catering to partisans and ideologues, things got worse. Fox News was a short term benefit to GOP, long term disaster (turned them into whacko echo chamber). Increasingly, we see this for Dems not realizing that NPR reporters aren't great proxies for working class voters (shocker).
In other words, it was made up.
And you should have heard the horrible things liberals were saying back then. Truly awful, despicable things.
But as you said, sorry, no sources, you'll just have to believe me.
