 Hey, I don't care where you get your game show news, either. I just think you deserve to get it accurately and without editorial, and the Perfesser has come up short repeatedly on both of those criteria.

You want news _and_ comment, Paul Harvey is on twice a day.

 Time to Paul Harvey nitpick...

Isn't just the 15-minute version news and comment?  The early morning Harvey segment is just a 5-minute recap of what happened overnight.  In addition, there's The Rest of the Story, a brilliant 5-minute segment about a historic figure or event.

To bring this back on-topic, has Paul Harvey ever been on a game show?  I don't see why he couldn't have been a WML? mystery guest or even the subject of a game of TTTT.

Paul Harvey's morning segment is a shorter news and comment.

As to the Professor's site, I guess I just filter out the editorials, then...YMMV.

He did share a stage with John Daly on ABC-TV's election night coverage in 1960, with Senate race analysis.

 Right. I only mentioned it because if you check out ABC Radio's website, you'll find that the official name of the news segments is "Paul Harvey News & Comment".

And then, of course, there's.....The Rest........Of.....THE Story! It's true!

 I love Paul Harvey. In the past few weeks his voice has sounded a little weaker though. Something is a bit different. Maybe he's been under the weather or Maybe it's just because he's 120 years old. I don't know. He's Still As interesting as ever though.

Fine. Three camps:

1) Those pro-Perfesser
2) Those anti-Perfesser

 Hey, Chris?  Did you notice who leads the pro-Perfessor camp? ;-)

A REAL professor who's in the anti-Perfessor camp.

I've always been curious:

Why is Beverly called the "Perfessor" ?

 It's a derogatory way of spelling "Professor" (much like Cal students refer to the other major Bay Area Pac 10 school as "Stanfurd"), designed to illustrate the irony of the fact that he teaches college-level journalism while demonstrating in practice a complete inability to observe basic journalistic tenets and ethics.
