Paul Harvey mixes up his fundie nuts - ABC radio freaks out

[LTR]

A mixup in ministers prompted ABC News Radio to issue an emergency order to 1,300 affiliates to kill Paul Harvey's news and commentary broadcast on Wednesday.

Harvey, 86, whose Chicago-based broadcasts routinely rank at or near the top of the most widely heard radio programs on the planet, meant to deliver a commentary on the controversy over Christian Broadcasting Network host Pat Robertson's call to assassinate Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez.

But after the 15-minute taped broadcast already had been fed to affiliates for airing, sources said, it was discovered that Harvey had mistakenly referred to the Rev. Jerry Falwell, another prominent Christian minister, instead.

ABC immediately sent out an urgent "mandatory kill" order and re-fed affiliates a corrected version. It is not known whether the first version aired anywhere.

10. Why was my first reaction

to laugh hysterically? 'Cause it seems, to me at least, there is not much of a difference. Falwell? Robertson? :shrug:

14. Is Harvey a right winger? ive never heard him

[BrotherBuzz]

21. Right winger dressed as a neutral news/story teller

Every program has a very small subliminal rightwing message hidden in it. It's worded in such a strange way that his audience doesn't even know they are being brainwashed, brainwashed a little bit at a time.

[liberaliraqvet26]

22. the most dangerous kind

[me b zola]

15. Best thread title of the week!!!!!!

Okay, maybe best of the month.

17. And I just made that one up on the fly

Too many times my thread titles are boring as hell.

The result? About 5 replies.

Didn't like the title of the article, and just threw this one on.

19. The first version was aired on KGO am radio in San Francisco

We heard it and I thought I just imagined it but wifey confirmed he made the blunder. All in all, I would choose to tune him out but I have become hooked on his crappy program because he hides a little political spin in every broadcast and we make it a game to identify the spin du jour. It's become something sport in our household.

23. Doesn't Harvey have his own section on Snopes.com from all his BS?

I swear, that old man is going through reverse-puberty with that voice...

"thIS is PAul HArvey, and here's the NEw'S!"

He's fallen for so much inbox bullshit, it's unreal. Time to put his ancient ass out to pastor.

[BrotherBuzz]

24. He only falls for that inbox crap when it serves his purposes

You know what I mean, Vern? ;)
