How does a Conservative talker survive after taking the path against candidate Donnie and swallowing their pride with the “I told ya so” callers? For some, it’s pulling up their big boy pants and trying to maintain hope that sanity overcomes the insanity- PB/TK
Conservative Seattle talk show host Michael Medved opposed Trump, now tries to maintain hope – Nina Shapiro Updated February 14, 2017 at 10:58 am
Seattle’s nationally prominent talk-radio host Michael Medved, having faced a backlash over his campaign-season stance against Donald Trump, tries to stay positive as the administration gets under way. It isn’t easy.
“We’ve got breaking news,” Michael Medved announced 15 minutes before he was to go on air. It was almost noon, and a half-eaten pastry lay on his desk, competing for space with a jumble of newspapers.
On a TV in the corner of his office, housed in the Eastlake headquarters of conservative talk-radio station KTTH-AM (770), CNN was abuzz with the top story of Day 5 in the Trump administration. The president told congressional leaders that as many as 5 million people had voted illegally, robbing him of a popular-vote majority.
“It’s not true; it’s stupid,” said Medved, a Reagan Republican and syndicated talk-radio host, ranked number 30 in trade publication Talkers Magazine’ 2016 list of the 100 most important such hosts in the country.
