So glad to see Ed kicked to the weekends. O’Reilly gets the bad rap, but Shultz’s vitriolic, hate filled assaults made Bill look like a kitten by comparison.
Fox and MSNBC are both entrenched on the extreme sides of the aisle
O’Reilly is the one with hate filled assaults.
Ed is far better than him.
The ratings, and well the fact that he was just kicked to the weekend curb, say otherwise.
But hey, go ahead and continue thinking that, Derrick.
Congrats to Steve on his new position. I have always admired his work. Ed Schultz used to be a staunch Republican…until he got to see first hand what the average American worker endures at the hands of Corporate America and how the US Government cowars to the corporations. Chris Hayes and Steve Kornacki appeal to the younger Americans…college grads to 40-something! It is their future that America is riding on. Many of whom are war veterans of the last decade…dealing with job loss, lack of jobs and health care skyrocketing.
They appeal to some of us past 40, I am 55 and never miss UP. Just hope the show remains as good as it is.
I doubt Ed is being kicked to the weekends. He also has a weekday 3 hour radio show, and his wife is fighting breast cancer. So, I expect he just wants to have more time at home with her. Ed is not hateful, and he treats guests with respect. He is passionate about standing up for the middle class, though.
By alienating and attacking them repeatedly?
Oh yeah, my hero.
Love, love Ed & miss his week night spot already. I always felt I could count on him for the truth on issues along with Rachel, Lawrence, Chris & all the rest on MSNBC. Frankly wish the execs would stop shuffling people around.
To compare Ed to O’Reilly from Fox is absurd. The thing I have always liked about MSNBC is that they clarify the truth and FOX deals primarily in falsehoods and obfuscation- be it on polls about Romney’s impending victory in the election, on jobs reports or on the heinous stranglehold of the NRA. Fox has no connection to truth or reality, whereas Ed and the whole team on MSNBC make truth their mantra and are even willing to take exception with a liberal administration should they stray from the high standards they are held to.
