Ford recently announced that starting in 2024, they will be phasing out AM radios in most of their new car models. The company cited the fact that a majority of U.S. AM stations, as well as a number of countries and automakers globally, are transitioning to modern radio options such as internet streaming, FM, digital, and satellite radio. However, some have raised concerns that the frequencies used to receive AM stations are directly impacted by interference from electric vehicle (EV) drive-trains.

While it’s unclear whether this is true or not, it’s worth considering the potential reasons behind Ford’s decision. Some speculate that it could be a ploy to charge consumers for data plans in their high-speed EVs. Others suggest that it may be an attempt to silence conservative talk radio, which is often broadcast on AM stations. Regardless of the reason, the move raises questions about personal choice and the ever-increasing control of our lives by those in power.

As a consumer, you have the right to decide whether or not you want to purchase a car without an AM radio. However, the fact that this option is being taken away is just one example of the erosion of our liberty and choice in a world that seems increasingly controlled by an overreaching government. It’s important to stand up for our right to free speech and conservative values, and to fight against the radical left’s attempts to take away our freedoms.
