Decline of Radio Talk

Seattle once had pretty good talk shows. Then something happened. The right erupted with tabloid vitriol ... Rush Limbaugh, the drugged voice of anti feminazis everywhere, engendered Medved, Lapin and Savage. KIRO remained an island of middle roadism. Some of this reamins ... their all star property is Dave Ross, a voice of reason. KIFO also runs Ronnie Reagan II, a pleasant voiced liberal apologist for his Dad. Then there is a guy called Monson, more or less Rush without the hate speech. Otherwise KIRO this has gone down the tubes, so to speak. Now we have hosts whose erudition is well represented by Ron and Don ...
These guys (the two book ends), prove that one can look as dumb and dumber as one sounds. They chase each others inane comments ... pitying each other for having fled from Katrina threatened jobs in N'Awlins' Big East for the Big Wetness of Seattle. If these guys have abny cultural value it is growing as a fungus on the walls of their former apartments in the French Quarter.
