right-wing blogs we like
The Reagan Wing Hearin lies the real heart of Washington State Republicans. Doug Parris runs this red-meat social conservative group site which bars no holds when it comes to saying who they are and who they're not; what they believe and what they don't; who their friends are and where the rest of the Republicans can go. Well-written, and flaming.
Orbusmax inexhaustible Drudgery of NW conservative news
The Radio Equalizer prolific former Seattle KVI, KIRO talk host speaks authoritatively about radio.
"The bad news for the rest of us was that Beck was on CNN at all." so says News Corpse.
Glenn Beck, (KTTH m-f, 3-6p) the pop-eyed, Mormon schmegegge-spreader
with the penchant for mean, filled in for CNN's Paula Zahn last week.
It wasn't very impressive.
Beck’s HLN program averaged 139,400 viewers in the 25-54
demo the week prior to his CNN stint. Moving to the much more widely
viewed CNN, he was only able to increase his audience by 1.7%. Even
worse, he under-performed the teetering Paula Zahn by over 23%. Zahn,
it should be noted, is rumored to be on the way out because of her
lackluster ratings.
As a radio guy, he can probably make it- Can this CNN experiment in clown-shoe TV newstalk be far from being flushed?

I'm not a Beck fan and was surprised to see him on last week, but let's be honest, the July 4th holiday week was a vacation week with subs in for many cable news hosts... it's just not a fair comparison

I read that he actually tones it down a bit for TV from his radio show.
Maybe his "style" is finally going OUT of style.

Yeah, I just can't see this guy sticking around too long. He's just a loud-mouth rabble rouser who probably belongs on Faux (if any where)?

Off topic: has Dave Ross been "disappeared"? KIRO is playing re-runs today. I hope he is OK.

Yes I noticed Dave's absence also. Seems like a strange way to celebrate a fat new contract.
