The very first time I was on WLS, over 20 years ago, one of my co-panelists was Cliff Kelley. We agreed on nothing and spent most of the hour arguing over the issues from radically different perspectives. However, at the end of the hour, Cliff leaned over to this rookie and told me: \"You were great,\" to which I responded: \"So you were.\" Two observations: First, back then, people in media (and I use that term broadly when referring to myself!) didn't feel the need to be personally hostile toward one another just because they differed on the issues. That made for good radio, or at least I thought so. Apparently, not a lot of people agreed or I would still be on talk radio. Second, no matter what legal problems he may have had long ago in his life, Cliff Kelley is a gentleman. I wish him well in whatever he chooses to do in the future. Godspeed, Cliff Kelley.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Robservations on the media beat: This is big.
