Political commentator and former MSNBC host Ed Schultz has died at the age of 64.

Schultz died of natural causes in Washington D.C., according to WDAY-TV, the Fargo, North Dakota, the station where Schultz got his start.

RT America, which aired Schultz’s “News with Ed” program, confirmed the news on its website.

“We at RT America are sad to announce the passing of Edward Andrew Schultz. Ed Schultz passed quietly early morning on July 5 at his home in Washington, D.C. This announcement comes as a shock to all of us here at RT America,” said the channel’s official statement.

1. Other than his regrettable affiliation with RT, a good commentator.

3. A huge "other," surely?

Failing truth, honor, journalistic ethics, integrity, and responsibility to his listeners are not too unimportant to consider against what he did right. Sadly, his field is the better for his loss.

Politico's article started out by calling him "liberal" in its first word. Calling someone who's behaved as Schultz did in these past few years liberal makes that a hit piece on liberals and the liberal-dominated Democratic Party all by itself.

RIP.

4. its pretty major and specifically why I didn't watch him in recent years ...

however he was a good liberal and a good commentator on other venues than RT.

5. Just "some" betrayal is far too much.

In promoting the intensely conservative Kremlin's agitprop war against liberalism, Schultz absolutely betrayed our liberal democracy, and with it all of us.
