An editorial in Rochester, New York’s largest newspaper started out as a warm tribute to Paul Harvey ended up as a cold attack on Rush Limbaugh.
The editorial, headlined “Talk radio needs a little more Harvey,” went down hill quickly and contained these gems:
“A lot of word pictures are drawn every day purporting to describe how inflexibly partisan and flat-out angry the world of popular communication has become. But few things tell the tale better than two names.”
“In short, Harvey was the velvet glove. And Limbaugh is the iron fist. Take your pick.”
“Limbaugh is really a politician who campaigns constantly without actually running for office. Harvey was pure radio — a great voice, stories to tell and information to impart. Without the clenched fist.”
Guess we shouldn’t be surprised, because the name of the Gannett newspaper is the Rochester Democrat.
