Folksy radio commentator--definitely not a journalist. Born in Tulsa, Oklahoma, he started working in radio in 1933 and has stayed in the industry more-or-less continuously since then.

Harvey broadcasts a daily "News and Comment" show that actually contains almost no accurate news. Most of his show consists of urban legends reported as fact, rants against immigrants, foreigners, Democrats, and/or conservative bugaboo X, editorial slander thinly disguised as news reports, and Bose radio commercials. He also does a frequently inaccurate program called "The Rest of the Story." His broadcasts are syndicated nationwide.

I worked in radio and news radio for years. I learned the skills of interviewing, accurate reporting, and how not to be a grandstanding editorializer. I hate Paul Harvey passionately for all the ways he's violated the news radio ethics that I worked hard to uphold, and I will dance a very merry jig on the day the old fucker dies.
