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.

FOX News going soft?

Teabagger_signs_912_0cee6

 

That is what the Tea Party is claiming in light of the Benghazi accusations going nowhere in an article from the Daily Beast:

“Particularly after the election, Fox keeps turning to the left,” said Stan Hjerlied, 75, of Fort Collins, Colo., and a participant in the boycott. He pointed to an interview Fox News CEO Roger Ailes gave after the election in which he said that the Republican Party and Fox News need to modernize, especially around immigration. “So we are really losing our only conservative network.”

Evidently, there is a boycott of FOX News but no one noticed, it supposedly ends Sunday. Kathy Amidon, leader of the boycott based in Nashville (where else?) said a previous boycott resulted in a 20% loss in viewers. The Daily Beast has found no data to support her claims.  Amidon has directed the rest of the press to her website  but has declined a formal interview.

TeabaggerIf all else fails, there is also the announcement made at the not-so-big-tent CPAC conference last week in which a new conservative news channel will be launched soon. 

The One America News Network according to the Daily Beast  "is a production of Herring Broadcasting, the San Diego-based company behind Wealth TV, a channel dedicated to appealing to and documenting the lifestyles of the rich and famous."

Their mission:
"provding opinion-free straight news reporting and right-leaning talk shows." Moran

Sez Charles Herring, president of Herring Broadcasting:

"With only one outlet, if you happen to be an independent or a libertarian, or you are on the outside, you only have one platform right now, which is Fox,” he said. “There just isn’t enough time in the day to have those voices heard. I see us as opening up another front, another platform.”

What Herring and others are saying is, FOX is not ugly enough even with Ted Nugent's soiled britches stinking up the studios along with Bill O'Reilly's bile infested rants.

FOX's purpose is to make money and promote republicans. If their product suddenly isn't right enough for the very pissed-off tea-party monster they basically created (oh the irony) I'd suspect they'll replace that migration by tweaking their brand - in time. The priority right now is to dig-out on immigration, or there won't be any republican party for Ailes to promote at all.

    • KIRO 710ESPN Seattle 710 KHz
      Games and sports-blabber

    • 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.
