Of the latter, Doug Sovern is getting to be a local treasure. And Mark Sandalow eminently valuable. Phil Matier's acerbic declamations on local issues are always fun. But these types are getting ever more rare. I'll include Dave Bryan of the KCBS-TV/KCAL duopoly in Los Angeles--informative and impartial, specializing in Sacramento machinations. And who spent much of the eighties at KPIX.Nicknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-45384748352296898462012-06-06T19:12:20.087-07:002012-06-06T19:12:20.087-07:00Sandalow is great!

Is he still doing any of that, or is it only on KCBS radio that I would hear him now? First I found his little stuttery, lispy delivery a bit distracting - Like: How did he get in to broadcasting? - But then I started listening to what he was actually saying, and he's always spot on and (although I've been accused of being quite liberal)to me, at least, he is very good at pointing out both sides of an issue. Love him on KCBS. Does that mean he'll be fired soon, or am I being too cynical?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-46113803164409648452012-06-06T13:08:44.026-07:002012-06-06T13:08:44.026-07:00not to mention that Walker's campaign spent 10...not to mention that Walker's campaign spent 10 times what the Dems could.. thanks to Citizen's United.

It is certainly not "thin" as some reporters suggest, but it is hardly a "mandate" as you suggest. It's not a precise term but in political speak, a "landslide" is usually considered 60 percent of the vote or better. One who wins in a landslide can usually claim a mandate. Again, Walker's win is significant, but it is not a mandate for anything.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-71018870349957199742012-06-06T10:20:16.806-07:002012-06-06T10:20:16.806-07:00Once again Wolf Blitzer made himself look stupid w...Once again Wolf Blitzer made himself look stupid when he went on the air and declared that Wis Gov Scott Walker won by a thin margin.<br />False Wolf.

We need a local voice in that time slot. KSCO goes to Alex Jones and 910 am goes to Combs at 7pm. Fans of Combs and Jones can find their shows online easily enough. I bet Rothman could at least equal if not supersede Combs' ratings. What a delight to hear John for 3 hrs last nightAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
