Stephen King is offering an antidote to what he sees as the biases of right-wing radio talk shows by hiring a former Green Party vice presidential candidate to co-host a morning talk show on two stations he owns.
In a rare public appearance, the horror writer held a news conference Tuesday in Bangor, Maine, at the headquarters of his three-station Zone Radio network.
"The Pulse Morning Show" will be co-hosted by 50-year-old Pat LaMarche and 43-year-old Don Cookson, a former television reporter. LaMarche ran for vice president as a member of the Green Party in 2004.
During the news conference King said, "We're a little to the left, but we're right."

Real original. Nobody ever thought of that one before.

Always knew I didn’t like him. Crass and overblown. Perfect spokesman.

Liberal Stephen King is using his own money to promote liberal talk shows?
Damn! This really may cause the big one Elizabeth.

“We’re a little to the left, but we’re right.”
Wow! This guy ought to quit writing books and start writing campaign slogans!(S)
To: ZGuy
Perhaps he can get Randal Flagg or the Clown from It to host the show. It would be entertaining...
To: ZGuy
Well, he DOES have a reputation for scaring the bejesus out of people.

Another doofus lefty who cannot get it thru his head that the left is splintered into various sub-cults that must be rigidly segregated lest they fight for the spoils. Yeah I’m sure the racist left who clamors for bling is going to listen to a green crackpot telling them they have to go back to farming with donkeys.

Glad I stopped reading his books decades ago... I did too. Then last week at the library on a whim I picked up an audio of "The Dome". My opinion is that guy has some serious issues with Christianity.

In the fall, after the Autumnal equinox when the days get longer with a hint of melancholy and umber, pamper yourself with something by Algernon Blackwood. He will not disappoint.

This clown still alive?
What was the last thing he wrote that was worth a damn?
I quit reading his recycled garbage back when I was in high school in 78.
What a tool.
