This article requires attention for the following reason(s):
  • The starting sentence.. "The following is a list of right-wing media groups" is very boring and needs to be replaced and expanded.
  • The article is a FrankensteinWikipedia of stub articles, but it's never been merged into a coherent whole.
  • This article requires update. It is rather stale.

Alt right?[edit]

If these are indeed alt-right media outlets, I think that there should be a paragraph in the beginning that says why they are and what distinguishes them from other right-wing media outlets (e.g., Fox News). Bongolian (talk) 20:31, 3 September 2017 (UTC)

This is a strong label with almost no evidence presented in-article. "Right-wing media groups", perhaps -- but then why not just make a page on "Media groups"? 32℉uzzy; 0℃atPotato (talk/stalk) 02:53, 4 September 2017 (UTC)
Yes, this page should be renamed unless the creator (or someone) can make a case otherwise (unlikely). Bongolian (talk) 03:06, 4 September 2017 (UTC)

My two cents on Hugh Hewitt, as someone who ended up listening to him almost every weekday (it's complicated)[edit]

Despite listening to it every day, most of the material leaves my head after a few days, maybe sooner. That said, one thing I've caught that's not surprising is that he has complained about "wokeness" several times.

Some other things I remember picking up on

  • He's called Joe Biden an "infirm" a few times
  • He's not a fan of Trump being charged federally (though I don't remember what his reasoning is)
  • He's had a few stopped clock moments
    • During the pandemic, he urged viewers to get vaccinated
    • He stated outright that the people who have been arrested for that whole Jan 6th thing were not political prisoners and they definitely "broke the law"

Alas, I don't have citations for any of this. I don't remember what days these conversations were on.--DoomTay (talk) 02:36, 17 September 2023 (UTC)

This is the standard response to anything and everything heard on Salem radio. —cosmikdebris talk stalk 04:28, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
