Thank you again.

For those that just must cast those pearls of negativity and disbelief, you have missed one of the “Better Men” of our time. Mr. Harvey was part of America, and will be missed.

I never missed his early-AM 5-minute or noonday 15-minute program. I'm a day early on this, but it's my favorite "Harveyism": "Good morning, Americans... IT'S FRIDAY!" Vaya con Dios, Mr. Harvey. Be young and strong forever, with your beloved 'Angel'.

A good man which is more than I can say for most. By the way Macarthy was completely wrong about how he want about it and was an unpleasant person so say the least but it turns out that most of his accusations were right. Yes I know, working to overthrow capitalist pig representative government is a noble work for some but hey, I don't have to believe it.

It was never applied toward the print media, so of course they were "untouchable." Blumer demonstrates his ignorance of the Fairness Doctrine with this quote:
