Ed Schultz gets his own show on MSNBC

[sealybobo]

NEW YORK (AP) — Veteran radio host Ed Schultz will have his own hourlong program on MSNBC, starting Monday.

Schultz has spent 30 years in talk radio and has a syndicated show that airs from noon to 3 p.m. each day.

MSNBC announced Wednesday that he'll replace a politically oriented show currently anchored by David Shuster at 6 p.m. on weekdays.

He's another liberal voice for an MSNBC evening audience that's already used to a leftward tilt with Keith Olbermann and Rachel Maddow. MSNBC calls him an "avid voice for the middle class."

Also, did any of you see Rachel Maddow's interview with Colon Powell? He may have endorsed Obama, but he is still covering his own ass on the Iraq/WMD/torture thing.

How blessed we must all feel.

never heard of him.......won't watch him

The parameters of the "debate" regarding whether sleep deprivation, stress positions and waterboarding are torture are absurd to begin with. They clearly are, but such a "dialogue" begs the question in assuming that torture is morally wrong to begin with.

And this pertains to this thread how?

You didn't see the comment he made about Powell, nor the interview he linked to?

We executed Japanese officers in WW2 for waterboarding our boys.

No wonder the rest of the world hates America. We are hypocrites and bullies.

But my theory is that the rest of the world doesn't hate liberal America. Look at how they love the Obama's but hated Bush.

They only hate the Republicans/neo cons/right wingers. And I tend to agree with the rest of the world that they suck ass.

Anyways, hope you enjoy Ed. He isn't my favorite but he's 100 times better than anyone on Fox.

Too bad MSNBC didn't give us these liberals back when Bush and the GOP ran the government. A liberal media might have prevented Bush from lying us into Iraq and everything else he did that was fucked up/illegal.

Instead, the corporate media helped Bush sell us all his lies. Way to go Fox, CNN, etc.

Even MSNBC didn't do their job. Sure, give us some liberal shows now that we are in power. A little late, don't you think? Back then all we had was Olbermann.

So it was Keith vs. CNN, Fox, ABC, CBS, NBC, etc. Hardly fair.

That's why you remain under informed and wrong on every issue.

 

[Agnapostate]

We executed Japanese officers in WW2 for waterboarding our boys.

So? That fails to differentiate the difference between "is" and "ought," between a descriptive observation and a prescriptive recommendation. That alone has no bearing on the moral status of torture.

You are too deep for me my brother.

I didn't see the interview but I DVR'd it. I won't be back home until Sunday but I will catch it then.

Love Ed Shultz. I never could get into David Schuster, he just gets on my nerves sometimes. Shultz is a Lefty but I wouldn't say he's a Lib. He has a sense of humor and a a way of persuading people to say things they normally wouldn't.

Now if they could just get rid of Scarborough and MiKa....

Did you know that Ed used to be a conservative?

I like Randi Rhodes better, but too many people view her as the left version of Rush.

So I think Ed will be better at selling the progressive agenda to America because he is rational and makes sense.

A republican called his show yesterday and told him, "i'm a republican but i like you because you are fair...i only disagree with you 55% of the time."

So he should represent Progressives well.

I'm so happy for ya bobo,, I'll send up some balloons for ya Monday. They're left over from O'Reilly's recent celebration of being NUMBER UNO for 100 straight months..

I thought he used to be a con. I really like Mike Smerconish too and he, as a con, supported Obama this year. He is on 1600 Pensylvania Ave a lot so Shultz and Smerconish should be interesting together.

I'm so happy for ya bobo,, I'll send up some balloons for ya Monday. They're left over from O'Reilly's recent celebration of being NUMBER UNO for 100 straight months..

I really don't care that O'Reilly gets better ratings, as long as we are winning the elections.

But you are starting to see more balance. Notice when Bush was breaking all the laws he was breaking, we didn't have Ed or Rachel on TV to tell America that he was a criminal.

Better late than never though.

PS. It took time for O'Reilly to get the ratings he has now. Stay tuned. I think Ed will end up beating them all.

And it doesn't matter really. If O'Reilly's ratings start to translate into winning elections, then I'll worry.

Right wing idiots just need to hear from O'Reilly and Rush that everything is ok.

PS. Rush's best ratings were when Clinton was in office.

It's boring when the show doesn't bitch about the current administration. Thats why I haven't been listening to progressive talk as much lately.

My party won. My party is in charge. And I don't need Ed to tell me that things are going great.

 

[Agnapostate]

So O'Lielly has high ratings. There was a big Web turnout to watch that guy commit suicide a few months ago too. We have a morbid fascination with the morally perverse.

"Your party" doesn't give one rats ass about you ......

When the GOP were ruining America, I was never more interested in liberal talk radio.

So it doesn't surprise me that right wingers are flocking to O'Reilly & Rush now
