Mark Fuhrman: Smart Guy, Bad Radio Host — Coyote

MF was really very good when he was talking crime or police issues. That is when he could be riveting. However when he tried to cross over into politics he really did come off as political neanderthal with no real moral or philosophical compass. Yet he talked about politics with the same tone and inflection that he talked about crime and it gave folks the idea that he may have had an idea what he was talking about. When he was probably just winging it (I mean I hope he was winging it an not really serious in those moments). In the end I figured it just had to be a matter of time before they dropped his show. It was local talent, which costs more money than syndicated talent. And it was local talent that was too ascerbic to create much local revenue/Coyote, NW Republican. Full post here.

Question: Has Fuhrman accomplished enough as a writer and talk show host to improve his image since the O.J. Simpson investigation?
