Who is your local radio Conservative hack?

[Earth_First]

In Rochester, New York we have the self-righteous hack Bob Lonesberry...

[hobbit709]

1. don't know, I don't listen to yatter radio.

[Earth_First]

3. I understand...

Once in a while I will flip over just for the sake of hearing the other side of the arguement. It never lasts long, however...

[B Calm]

4. Same here!

[darkangel218]

2. Bud Hedinger.

The moonbat of Orlando.

[rppper]

19. Good ole Bud.....not! We have Mark Bernier...

And his little band of coastal moonbats to the east in Daytona....the radio stations here are all locally owned....4 channels....WNDB1150 is talk radio....all conservative drivel....WHOG 95.7 is album rock, but it has a definite righty slant....93.1 is country, no need to expound here....the other is top 40/r-n-b....no news or talk....

All the Orlando stations seem to be owned by clear channel.....

5. Limbaugh

and this is the parking lot where his housekeeper bought some of his drugs

[Tommy_Carcetti]

10. Now the Palm Beach Bar Association HQ, I believe. nt

6. ack. he's awful. I'm

I don't know who the local conservative hack is in vermont. there's not a big market here.

[oberliner]

21. Not a big market for conservatives or not a big market period?

Isn't the state pretty evenly split between Dem/Rep/Ind?

[cali]

30. both. and no. Vermont is solidly liberal

How liberal? Democrats have a veto proof majorities in both houses- and these are liberal dems. There is only one republican is state wide office. Vermont has a viable third party- the VT Progressive Party and its represented in both the House and the Senate.

And republicans here are by and large of the liberal new england type.

[oberliner]

31. Pretty sure you are wrong on that

Vermont had a Republican governor for most of the 2000's

Jim Douglas was re-elected three times.

He beat his non-Republican challengers fairly easily (well over 50 percent of the vote).

I think I had it right. It's pretty much an even three-way split between Democrats, Republicans, and Independents.

[Phillyindy]

7. To many to name in...

Philly. ALL talk radio is conservative here, not a single liberal voice on terrestrial radio, even though its a yard core blue city.

[Hayabusa]

8. Tom Bradley and Gary Nolan

Bradley's the least worst of the group while Nolan is an ultra-libertarian. "Why should we pay for anything" type.

[deutsey]

9. I have no idea about radio (I assume it's Limbaugh)

but there's a so-called political cartoonist in our local paper who's a right-winger. His drawings/caricatures are sloppy and amateurish and usually push the standard conservative claptrap they spew on FOX.

It's hard to get angry at his cartoons, though, because they're so lame. Every once in a blue moon, the cosmos will align in such a way where I actually agree with one of his scribblings, like when he took some potshots at Bush in the waning years of his regime. But even those were ham-fisted and about as politically clever as a Family Circus comic.

[ChisolmTrailDem]

11. Mark Davis in DFW... Ugh! I used to be a regular caller

to his show and loved to debate his POV during the Clinton years. He was relatively reasonable back then but he's a full-blown idiot these days.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

12. Greg Garrison (Indy)

Local stations also pick up Limbaugh, Hannity, and some nationally syndicated teabagger lady (Diane Loesch?) in the afternoon as well. It's all the same tripe and if you've heard it one place you'll hear the exact same junk from another one. One of our AM stations used to have Michael Smerconish, who isn't a conservative hack by any means, and his was about the only political radio shows I was ever able to listen to on a daily basis. I can't tolerate Limbaugh or any of the others for more than two seconds and I don't even bother to try. Most of our talk radio here has been systematically replaced by sports talk shows, which I have absolutely no interest in. When I'm driving around (which I do a lot of in my job), I find that popping in a Michael Moore, Bill Maher, or Al Franken CD and/or burning some liberal podcast programs onto a CD to listen to helps a lot to ease my stress living in a right-wing regressive state (though in a fairly progressive area)

[LWolf]

13. I have no idea.

I don't listen to talk radio of any kind.

Really, since the availability of cheap mp3 players, I don't listen to radio at all except to wake me up in the morning.

[oberliner]

23. Do you have a car?

That's the only time I use a radio.

[LWolf]

32. Yes, but the radio is never on.

If I want music while driving, that's when I use my mp3 player.

Then I don't have to listen to vapid, annoying djs who think they're witty, as well as avoiding commercials.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

14. Technically, Limbaugh's local. But in terms of local Limbaugh wannabees....

This douchbag Steve Kane and his cohort Brian Craig.

They have an odd obsession over both race baiting (Kane, who is white, once insisted on using n___r, claiming it was no more offensive than calling someone "right wing&quot and gay issues (which is curious, because Craig strikes me very much as being a self-hating closet case).

Oh, we also have Joyce Kaufman, who was once tapped to be then Congressman (and disgraced war criminal) Allen West (R-Crazytown)'s chief of staff until a speech of hers at a tea party rally came to light where she proclaimed, "If ballots don't work, bullets will!" She claimed that she was taken out of context and that you needed to see the entire speech to understand what she actually meant by that. I then watched the entire unedited 9 minute speech and understood what she really meant: That if you don't like the result of an election, you should threaten armed revolution.

[OmahaBlueDog]

18. The thing to remember about Kane is that he is first and foremost a showman

..which I suppose is equally true of Limbaugh, Michael Savage, and the rest. If you don't have controversy, then nobody listens. Look at the ratings on Democracy Now! or NPR. The problem is that we now have a generation who have confused entertaining radio for effective public policy.

[JohnnyLib2]

15. Mandy Connel has been in Louisville, but just left for Denver.

She'll thrive in that gun lovin' area.

[CherokeeDem]

28. She filled in at WLAP in Lexington...

what a tool. Glad to hear she's left the state and you are so right, they will love her there.

Good riddance...

[backscatter712]

16. Mike Rosen's one of Denver's resident doucheclowns. n/t

[backscatter712]

17. Another one is Michael Brown. Yes, Heckufajob Brownie. n/t

[frylock]

20. roger hedgecock

[The Straight Story]

22. I got one here. I call in to his show, and now he has promised to call into mine

So it should be fun because he usually takes my call, listens, then hangs up to answer with no follow ups. Now I do a show 3 hours a week and he is planning on calling in bwahahahahah.

[1-Old-Man]

25. Morgantown, WV - virtually every radio announcer is a right wing hack.

There are a handful of local for-profit stations and every single one of them (Even the University's student station often echos the right wing messaging) is a voice of ignorance, prejudice, and the war on the working person.

[graywarrior]

26. Howie Carr

WRKO, Boston.

He's a colossal dickhead.

[CherokeeDem]

27. This little jerk....

Matt Walsh. He follows Limbaugh and rehashes whatever Rush has talked about. I have been forced a few times to listen to him and he makes my blood boil. He's a libertarian conservative and worships Rand Paul, who is a frequent guest. There are other idiots in Lexington, KY, but this guy is the worst.

29. Oregon: Lars Larson

He calls what he does 'talk journalism'. Only if lies, rumors, theories and slander are journalism.
