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.

Cool.

I've always like Rich Johnson as a news reporter.

KS

liked

chuck says joanie is a liar. (because she lies)

He can't help but be sucessful at Fox. He will probably retire from there, going out "on top".
Good for him.

joanie

So, is fox news now suddenly reliable? Or is there a different news side from the fixed one?

Rich Johnson

I'm trying to remember where that pic was taken (Iowa caucuses?) - and am again reminded that I really need to think about some sit-ups.
Joanie: Listen to the Fox News Radio Hourly newscast (KTTH, or foxnewsradio.com) and tell me where you find any spin. The great joy of doing what I do is that there's literally no time to do anything but the straight-up facts. Then the talkers get to have all the fun!
Thanks to all for the kinds words. And damn you all for making me perpetually homesick!

Rich echoed this well.
FNC is has been reliable for most Americans, except for the brazen statists like yourself and a few others resident to this blog :)

KS

In fairness, for the umpteenth time; you and your ilk keep getting the political opinion shows - mainly conservative right-wing intermingled with the news wing of Fox. They are two separate entities who are on the same network.

For one thing, it is difficult to accuse Shepard Smith, one of the main newscasters of right-wing bias - more than not, he challenges conservative viewpoints.

Woody Held

I like Rich Johnson. He is a homey, sort of. He can hold himself professionally even working for the3rd Reich. Mazeltop, Richie!

Coiler

I liked Bill Vitka when he was still at CBS, before he started pimping for FOX.

joanie

Well,I guess it is possible to be an honest legal counsel for the mob. But, I'm not counting on it.

Still, I don't begrudge a step up in the profession.

I'm pretty cynical about anything Ailes and Murdoch and the Saudi family has it's hands and money in.

Debates like this are why I can't wait until hurricane season. Part of my new gig will be the opportunity to cover non-DC, non-political news. Eventually. And now I know all about Christian Louboutin shoes. Talk about win-win!

Erictheeditor

I don't know about the radio side of Fox News but the Daily Show with Jon Stewart has featured many examples of right-wing bias on the news programs. Also there was a documentary a couple of years ago that showed the same thing.

Jaynie Dillon Jones

Who wouldn't/doesn't like Rich Johnson? But it's sad that he's been swept up by Fox...

chuck says joanie is a liar. (because she lies)

Do you suppose that Jon Stewart would feature examples of left wing bias on his program?

Puget Sound

I like rich johnson and he'll do fine.

looks like david shuster is smelling the coffee and jumping ship to CNN. but he got caught....


Shyster in big trouble....

D.J.;

Read about your Dad today in The Oregonian. My best to you and your family. He was a good man, and a great fisherman.

    pacific nw talk stations

    • 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).
    • KOMOAM
      News, traffic, Ken Schram and John Carlson.
    • Washington State Radio Stations
      Comprehensive list of every danged AM & FM station on the dial.
    • KKOL am 1300 KHz
      Once a rabid right-wing talker, except for Lou Dobbs, it's all business....
