Sad to hear. Prayers for his wife and daughters.
I remember him voicing liberal or middle of the road opinions 20 years ago. That’s not where the big money is, obviously.
Yeah….It is clear, that he took his cue from Rush Limbaugh, and has done regionally, that which Rush did nationally…a good career move for him…his former “liberal” talk was not doing so well, in Schizoid Pacific NW media….Remember when Radio KING 1090 was a liberal format?…Jim Althoff and the others are long gone–Dori is still here. As for KIRO–they have not had a true liberal host since the demise of Mike Webb….Tom and Curley are a radio “act”, and now they have some younger super-conservative guy on in the evening, who somehow credits his former status as a drug addict as qualifying him for being a “born again” conservative!…Crazy times we live in.
The entire education complex teaches Wokeness 101. No surprise here.
The woke mob strikes again.
Dori knows the “risks”…and does not care…I would guess though, that his losing that pre/post game radio show gig does bother him…but, as he occasionally tells us, he is well-set financially, and close to retirement. No worries for him!
