Carlson is back on the radio.

update of a post from 2012

Carlson is old news now, but John Carlson once ran for governor of our state. Back in 2000, Carlson got trounced by Gary Locke, %8% to 40% in an era when one might imagine a Republican retaking the mansion in Olympia.

The question today is does Carlson believe the stuff he now mouths or is he paid to act a role like Joaquin Phoenix in the Joker? To be fair, Carlson seems a bit saner than Hannity, Rush, Savage, Ingraham, Monson, Coulter, Lapin, Shapiro or Malkin,  These guys ‘n gals prove that paranoid schizophrenia is a viable persona on the right.  So does Carlson actually believe anything he says?

Carlson is employed by KVI, Seattle’s outlet for the right-wing radio chain “Sinclair.”  Sinclair has been called out not only by mainstream media but even by its own station employees, for the conservative slant of news reporting.  The critics note that the network goes so far as to distribute daily talking points, much like paid operatives of the Trump GOP.?  What I wonder about is the conscience of smart righties like Carlson.  My hunch is that these folks are rather like von Braun .. they enjoy getting paid or they enjoy watching their rockets fly,

To make matters worse, Carlson is now playing a conservative political commentator on Seattle’s public radio station, KUOW!  KUOW’s “Crosscut” .. supposedly a non-biased news agency … pays Carlson an annual salary as a commentator but does not even identify John as a paid personality on KVI!   I wonder if Crosscut might also want to “employ” some folks who speak for Russia, Antifa or the KKK?
