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.
m.steele-
No, I would say it was fine. When using the ultimate gauge of "fairness" (Faux News), we can see that it is, in fact, fair and balanced:
Gaseous Leafblower of the Airwaves Limbaugh in the middle, with Coulter on one side and Ingraham on the other. If it passes the FNC litmus test, what else do ya want?
Stewie:
Don't dis' Fox. They are fare. As in carring the water for me. Reading thru the the talking points, I see they read them diligently. That, may I say, pays the fare.
That's it, Steele! KVI needs to get a thicker skin. For God's sake, she's a republican, and that means she can have it piled on her plate and eat it up just as easy as she and her beloved GOP can dish it out. Coulter, Limbaugh and Ingraham (so eloquently displayed here) do much worse, yet KVI and her crew don't have a lot to say about that.
As for you and Fixed News, yes, you're right. But in the ongoing Limbaugh vs. Steele Death Match, Newscorp reaps a lot of benefit from the infighting going on at the RNC. Keep up the good work-Faux news isn't the only group cashing in on this!
Apparantly there is a snag in getting that Captain released from the Pirates. It seems President Obama wants the Pirates to fire thier leader before they hand over the ransom because he thinks they should have been able to hijack the entire ship instead of just the Captain.
Ladies and Gentlemen- the previous comment from Steven was not actually news. In fact, at best, it was merely a composite of several of the neurotic wanderings of a neo-con, who desperately wishes he could somehow implicate Obama in this mess. It's part of his boyhood dream, (which began a few months ago) that Faux News could hire him as a reporter. Clearly his overactive imagination makes him very qualified for such a position, especially since Jeff Gannon was exposed. (oooh, that was an embarrasing time for the Bushler, wasn't it..)
oops ! Sorry Pirates ! Didn't mean to shoot you guys in the head, We were just trying to negotiate your ransom terms. My boss said you would understand. Oh, you thought he was some lame liberal terrorist supporter ? Sorry !
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).
KOMOAM News, traffic, Ken Schram and John Carlson.
I love it!

THAT was excellent! And the additional touch of Coulter and Ingraham was well done!
