We had a chance to catch up with editor in chief, Ronnie from The Ronnie Republic and get his thoughts on the recent dust up involving Kathy Griffin and her visual thoughts on donald trump.

Well, it is always a tough decision in these kind of situations but at the end of the day we have to remember we have the privilege of  living here in our great country of The United States and one of the things that makes our values so sought after in comparison to other countries on the world stage is that we do have freedom of speech, in no uncertain terms and that is all there is.

No, I said the same thing when they asked me about Colbert--it boils down to one thing.  We can express our opinions without retribution.  We have the right to think out loud.

Ronnie also feared that in reality much more harm will be done by the literal assault of donald trump on our environment than the promotion of one picture by one lady.

Ronnie felt like the folks are getting fed up with the antics of the donald and we are likely to see more protests with similar sentiment.

When asked if his paper would continue to report on Kathy Griffin and other comedians of the same philosophy Ronnie indicated that he would still be glad to cover this kind of story.  He added that he did not want anyone to think that he did not take things or consequences seriously but he is still driven by his love to tell a story.

Just like reporting on the insanity of bill o'reilly or sean hannity The Ronnie Republic loves to get the word out on all sides.

The Ronnie Republic will even report on our own whining republican, Carl DeMaio.  Not only does this individual suffer from the lack of a sense of humor but he apparently also does not want anyone to have healthcare judged by his rebuke of the facts after an interview yesterday afternoon.  AM radio in San Diego is so ultra conservative,  KOGO made a poor decision in going all Carl and losing Sully.

Just like Jim Carrey, Don Rickles observed that we are lucky to have comedians--sometimes they are the only ones who can really tap into the sentiment of the people.

Don Rickles who has been known for having a sharp tongue has also been one to be truthful yet humorous--not too many of us possess that talent.

Ronnie and Don Rickles have been friends for a long time and he often looks to Don for input on this kind of issue.

Thanks, Ronnie, for taking a few minutes out of your very busy day to give up your take on this giant media issue.

Carl DeMaio and KOGO 600: Lose the Gotcha Mentality

Seriously, Carl DeMaio and KOGO 600 AM News/Talk Radio in San Diego should lose the "gotcha" mentality.  It does not serve anyone well in the long run, Carl, the station or the listeners.

It turned out to be very informative about San Diego Radio, their philosophy and news/talk radio, in general, to follow a recent converstaion on San Diego Radio. org.  This is a blog by Joe Nelson, a San Diego Radio veteran.

Carl DeMaio is on KOGO 600 in San Diego from 3-6 PM weekdays.
it is baby owl season in San Diego--from The Grape Street Dog Park 

here is a recap of the conversation...................

I loved Carl when he was with Sully on KOGO because I think he is a gifted radio personality even though we are on different sides of the fence politically. Once Sully left and he was on his own the show is so crazy one-sided ultra right wing with the accent on punishing.

Every time I turn on the radio and hear his voice he is going on about Hillary: how she is going to jail, laughing at her, making fun of her personal traits......why?

It's not a fair show or a news show or a political show when he talks that way, it is just his own hatred of women.

If they want to have a show like that they might as well bring back chip franklin.

KOGO just can't help themselves.

When you have Rush and Hannity as your lead-ins, you tend to pander to those listeners to try and bring them to your show. Dont look for Carl to be fair and balanced. He may be directed by management to "righten up".

Then I must ask this question: Does KOGO want to be known as a station that promotes the bashing of women--because in the long run how will that work out well for the station and for Carl.

Sully may have been a Republican, too, but he was at least conversational, not to mention his work and interest in trying to help the homeless folks in the city. That is a giant problem for San Diego and for the safety of the individuals, as well.

Particularly, when this is someone who ran for mayor of our city--as an elected public figure he would have had to represent all of the people of the city--rich, poor democrat or republican.

Either way, KOGO and Carl DeMaio are a sham....and boring as a radio show.

Chip Franklin bashed women on a daily basis and KOGO and The Reader looked the other way--one has to ask why.

Carl DeMaio has brought the ratings up in his timeslot big time and KOGO has skyrocketed from a 1.5 to a 3.8.

Sounds like a bunch of sour grapes posters here today.

No one reads the Reader and KLSD was a big failure as was Err Amerika


It is fun to hear both sides of the political conversation--but the sense of glee Carls conveys at the possible demise of Hillary Clinton crosses the line from news or journalism or a political talk show to a one-sided rant and like Hannity and Trump it turns into ugly comments obviously just to get ratings as suggested in the previous comment.

Of all people, like Roger Hedgecock, Carl DeMaio has more to offer that the average talk show host because he really does know something about politics.  There was nothing more interesting than to hear Roger describe how politics work in the city.  Roger and Carl have a unique take on local actions, regardless of their political affiliation, that most folks just do not know, and that is really quite a lucky opportunity for the listeners.

Carl should really rise to the occasion regardless of KOGO's bid for ratings because in the long run KOGO may throw him out like others once the wind changes for some reason that has nothing to do with Carl.

Seriously, it is his own funeral in talk radio--just look at the history for KOGO.  They were very willing to cover up and deny and remove disgusting comments from their podcast in the past.  I know this for a fact because I followed it up.

Talk radio seems to be a very weird world--it does not take too long to figure that out once one focuses on it for just a little bit.  It seems like they were very willing to go along with someone like Dr. Laura until the big sponsors like Motel 6 left--then everything changed.

AS far as Hannity, this is someone particularly not to follow--this man is almost a racist although he works very hard to cover it up.  He stopped saying "taking back America" after President Obama was elected for the second time.  That is a horrible statement and it has also been noted by others. I notice Hannity has started using that phrase again perhaps empowered by donald trump.

Carl should try and take a higher road--he was interesting yesterday and has a very unique position--he has a lot to offer personally and politically.

He can be very funny, too.

If I was Carl or KOGO Hannity would be the last person I would use as a role model.

Our conversation has been so interesting and revealing re:  KOGO and talk radio in San Diego.



I wonder who anonymous is--not only do they seem to have a dog in the fight but it looks like they know everything.


The thing is I love Hillary Clinton and I have been waiting for her forever--of course folks are going to disagree, but why make it personal.

Carl DeMaio on KOGO 600 San Diego: A One Sided Report

I loved Carl when he was with Sully on KOGO because I think he is a gifted radio personality even though we are on different sides of the fence politically.  Once Sully left and he was on his own the show is so crazy one-sided ultra right wing with the accent on punishing.

Every time I turn on the radio and hear his voice he is going on about Hillary:  how she is going to jail, laughing at her, making fun of her personal traits......why?

It's not a fair show or a news show or a political show when he talks that way, it is just his own hatred of women.

If they want to have a show like that they might as well bring back chip franklin.

KOGO just can't help themselves.

from the KOGO website:

DeMaio Report. Investigative journalism and inside knowledge with an eye on solutions. The show focuses on the issues that matter most to you.

This false and ridiculous statement appears on KOGO's website--I guess that's true if you are an ultra right-wing nut that hates women and democrats.  I do not really call his show investigative journalism--perhaps he is drinking the same Kool-Aid as Bill O'Reilly.

The DeMaio Report airs on KOGO 600 AM news/talk radio in San Diego weekdays from 3-6 PM.

from the ronnie republic radio round-up: Carl DeMaio and Sully--News/Talk Radio--KOGO 600 AM San Diego

Carl DeMaio likes cats

Chloe Louise


Long time KOGO listener and Sully fan for a very long time.............


Sully, Merrill, Kevin Finnerty...........they make news/talk radio enjoyable in San Diego........Sully's conversations re:  the individuals without permanent housing in San Diego is admirable........former mayoral candidate, Carl De Maio is a brilliant addition to the afternoon line-up.

KOGO and the San Diego listeners are lucky to have his opinion on local and national political topics. 


Carl....love your radio show on KOGO 600 and listen to it whenever I can. 

While I am a dem and disagree with many of your policies I still always want to hear both sides and you present your case very well without anger and bashing. 

By the time you and Sully are finished discussing an issue I feel well informed. 

I really like getting to know you on the radio and you have so much to offer about San Diego politics and that kind of information is always interesting and valuable. 

Well done on not just being a one dimensional angry Republican. 


Seriously, the GOP can use more people like you and less like Bill O'Reilly.......good job.......always listening to the radio.....chloelouise from the ronnie republic.
