"he seems to be one of the nicest newsmen around"
translation-"known Pro-Labor leftard".
Same as that useless tabloid idiot that wasted the 60 minutes interview opportunity with John Howard Sunday night.

OMG the dreaded leftists seem to have infiltrated everywhere. I know who Peter Harvey ("Peter Harvey - Canberra") is of course but I hardly ever watch the news on the commercial channels. I don't intend anything snobbish or grandstanding by that remark. In fact these days I think the standard of news presentation on the ABC - particularly on News 24 - has become so dumbed down that the ABC could end up being a serious place-getter in the race to the bottom. Their breakfast television is particularly painful to watch. So what I meant by "hardly ever watch the news on commercial TV" is that while I know who Peter Harvey is, I had no idea he was supposed to be a "lefty".
I'm intrigued! Remember the Channel 9 guy who retired 10 or so years ago, Brian Henderson? Was he a "lefty" too?
So ... Peter Harvey on the electronic media, Paul Kelly on the print media ... "lefties"? Anyone else to add to this rogues gallery of "lefties" that have infiltrated the commercial media?
Am I missing something here? Is this the "long march of the soft left through our institutions" that John Howard referred to in a speech he gave at a Quadrant dinner some years ago?

Brian Henderson?? Aka Bandstand? He was just a newsreader, nothing more. Wouldn't have mattered what he was but as he resided on the upper North Shore, I'd have to say he was a rightie.
As for Peter Harvey ... couldn't stand him!

Poor chap....such is life,...why I am not a fan of 60 minutes and the few times I have caught the show, I was under the impression Peter Harvey was fairly right wing in opinion, he does or did have a good deep resonating voice.
Unlike Flagg who talks like a girl..
