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.

Sarkus

So I guess you've completely given up on actually listening to Seattle talk radio now, right? I mean you clearly have time to take more shots at political groups you dislike, but can't be bothered to, you know, cover changes in Seattle like Lars Larson switching stations.

Blatherwatch used to be an interesting take on what was going on, but you've clearly changed its focus.

Pete

Since when is Lars Larson Seattle talk radio?

Jovita

You mean his nationally syndicated show? That doesn't make him a Seattle talker.

Radio Queen

The point made by Sarkus is valid. This blog has turned into a political bash fest--and it's always at the expense of conservatives. Perhaps Bla'M should retitle the blog to fit his mission...and he does have one.

StarTheWonderDog

But, you see it's HIS blog, lest you not forget that and as far as I know NO ONE is twisting your arm to either read or participate in these topics. So get-a-long little doggie if you must. Bwahahaha

Radio Queen

But you see, the title of HIS blog is misleading...It actually used to be all about radio. Just suggesting that the blog be labeled to reflect what it really is. Truth in advertising, you know...

fremont

There is absolutely NO (peer-reviewed) evidence that Bla'M is NOT listening to talk radio so we don't have to and your claims are not scientifically validated.

Johnny Sombrerro

Listening to talk radio includes topics covered....

Nearly impossible to prove a negative.

As for finding out what science is up to...don't ask Al Gore -all you will hear is a biased and blasphemus opinion from a corporatist.

...don't forget the carbon offsets he's willing to sell ya also. how much money has that man made on those things?

blathering michael

Hey Radio Queen, Sarkus, Miles ... this blog has always had about a 40/60 mix liberal politics to radio stuff.

But if that's not OK, I'll send you your money back... oh yeah, that's right, YOU DIDN'T FUCKING SEND ME ANY! Guess I still own this rag unencumbered...

RQ

Bla'M, just curious...what are the "costs" in running this, as you put it, rag? I thought cutting/pasting from other sources was free.

Jovita

I believe the snarky personal attacks are passe here now, RQ. Plenty of other blogs on the intertubes if you are dissatisfied with this one.

sparky

Queen, who cares. Life is short. Too short to get concerned about the small stuff. It is what it is.

    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....
