    The quirky talk radio trade mag. Check the Talk Radio Research Project- it's not very scientific, but places on the top 15 talkers list (scroll down to Talk Radio Audiences By Size)) are as hotly contested as Emmys (and mean just about as much).

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.

One might wonder if Reagan didn't break into the Newsmax office and sneak this column into the issue past an unsuspecting editor.

One might wonder why Chuck Norris or George Bush aren't invited to pen a column in Mother Jones.

But one might never vociferate this wonderment, for it doesn't fit the drumbeat of this reactionary blowhole blog.

People confident in their position need not shudder in fear at the opposition voicing theirs.
Laudits to Newsmax.

Duffman

Whether you like Newsmax or not, it's a popularly-read thread and Reagan knows that. As an 'aspiring' radio talk-show host Ron understands exposure and therein was his motive in that piece. Much like Saturday Nite Live gives so many 'aspiring' politicians exposure - so does venues like Newsmax, Drudge, etc.
I'm sure you seen pics of politicians (including the climate guru, Al Gore) in front of his computer terminal with the Drudge Report appearing on his screen. This is nothing more than astute marketing. Over and above everything else, I'm sure Mr Reagan realizes this and will continue to attempt to further enhance his image and popularity in like manner. Good Luck, Ron - with Air America, you're going to need it.

joanie

it's a popularly-read thread

And what does that say about its readers?


Reagan's got a good sense of humor and I bet his dad would be proud of him if he were here today. In fact, I bet Reagan SR. would be ashamed at what the Rethugs have done to his party. Even though he started it all.


Keep on baaing, Baart. :)

Duffman

A professed liberal-progressive predicting (after the fact) what some former conservative President with Alzeimer's Disease would think is a bit of a stretch....at best! But your comments are always welcomed herein none the less.

Duffman

..and I doubt he (or his son Ron) would say "The Republican Party needs to be executed as quickly as possible." - as your hero talk show host Mike Malloy apparently spewed.

joanie

your comments are always welcomed herein none the less.

WHo asked you?

apologizer

Duffman - on behalf of Joanie, I'd like to thank you for your kind words toward her. I, too, have been working to create a more welcoming environment.

Let's all join together to make her feel welcome. She's done an incredible job posting here considering the challenges and impediments she faces and is an inspiration to us all. If I could deliver a fruit basket to her, I would. It would be filled with delicious kiwis, sun-ripened raisins, ripe oranges and exotic guava.

Yummy-yummy in my tummy-tummy!

Newsmax evidently matters and Ron Reagan is smart enough to see that.

Malloy is a real winner - maybe the progressives like him are the ones who should be sent to reeducation camps. Malloy should just be glad we are not under Sharia law and existing in a Dhimmitude.

    • KIRO 710ESPN Seattle 710 KHz
      Games and sports-blabber
    • KIROFM 97.3
      Multi-format: news and nearly all local talk. This is where classic KIRO AM news talk radio went... hopefully, not to die. The home of Dave Ross & Luke Burbank, Dori Monson, Ron & Don, Frank Shiers, Bill Radke, Linda Thomas, Tony Miner and George Noory.
    • KUOW FM 94.9
      Seattle's foremost public radio news and talk.
    • KVI am 570 KHz
      Visit the burnt-out husk of one of the seminal right-wing talkers in all the land. Here's where once trilled the reactionary tones of Rush Limbaugh, John Carlson, Kirby Wilbur, Mike Siegel, Peter Weissbach, Floyd Brown, Dinky Donkey, and Bryan Suits. Now it's Top 40 hits from the '60's & '70's aimed at that diminishing crowd who still remembers them and can still hear.
    • KTTH am 770 KHz
      Right wing home of local, and a whole bunch of syndicated righties such as Glennn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Michael Medved, Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham, Lars Larsony, and for an hour a day: live & local David Boze.
    • KPTK am 1090 KHz
      Syndicated liberal talk. Stephanie Miller, Thom Hartmann, Ed Schultz, Randi Rhodes, Norman Goldman fill in the large hole to the left on Northwest radio dial.
    • KLFE AM 1590 kHz
      Syndicated right-wing 2nd stringers like Mark Levin, Bill Bennett, Mike Gallagher, Dennis Prager, Dennis Miller and Hugh Hewitt inhabit this timid-voiced neighbor honker for your radio enjoyment (unless you're behind something large like Costco).

      News, traffic, Ken Schram and John Carlson.
    • Washington State Radio Stations
      Comprehensive list of every danged AM & FM station on the dial.
