1. People are alarmed by RWers in media now should really investigate

our history. I remember Winchell as a real POS who had power to destroy careers and reputations, and used it often. There were other earlier RW even fascistic media powers, such as Father Coughlin in the 1930's who railed against FDR and all things progressive and Democratic, like unions and Social Security.
Nothing really new, is there?

6. Matt Sludge patterns himself after WW

going so far as to affect the fedora. In the same way that Winchell had his head up Joe McCarthy's ass, Sludge found a comfy home in Turd Blossom Rove's colon.

9. We had our own Walter Winchell in our time named Paul Harvey

Two things they have in common: they're both liars and they're both DEAD.
