Related: About this forumLooks Like Ed Is Going Out With A Bang.....
He's really coming down hard on Hillary and is very pro-Bernie. I wonder if he is trying to go off the air sooner rather than later. I don't know if he is defying MSNBC or if this is just normal for him.

Sorry, he's lost a LOT of credibility and more importantly, ratings.

(10,558 posts)You would be correct in saying that there was a time in Ed's past when he supported the Keystone XL but after doing his own research he made a dramatic and quite public change of heart in his position. Ed has been a very outspoken critic of Keystone XL since that time.

(86,650 posts)follow him on his radio show... I think he and Papantonio have a partnership and are advertised on The Raw Story.
He's not disappearing. Guess I'll have to donate more to those who provide me with actual news while I have my summer job. I am glad he's going out full scream ahead... might as well while his mic is still on.

(4,452 posts)He got his ass out there and learned and changed his position.
Even if I have hundreds of things that we disagree on I'll give him credit for being able to learn.
What current Republican can you say that about?

(5,082 posts)She enrolled in college in 1965 and was President Of The College Republicans. Have you ever met one of those? I have and they are rabid. She was still a Republican until age 22.

(5,082 posts)And that is 4 years too late. It was a strategic move as she was already on way to a political career. We aren't electing a homecoming queen or king. This is real life. These little Louie's like Jeb or Marie Antoinettes can eat dirt.

(14,195 posts)LOL!
Nice try. You can't have it both ways. if i am supposed to accept Hill as a dem ignoring her Goldwater girl roots then I can accept him and ignore his R roots as well.
George II

(29,067 posts)So he was once a Right Winger -- Hillary was a Goldwater Girl.
They changed, and admitted they were wrong
More power to them.

(67,782 posts)The right-wing version of Schultz opposed abortion in all circumstances, mocked homeless people by sneering, How about getting a job? and proclaimed that Id like to see the president get all the illegals out of the country, so we can start all over again. And in an homage to Limbaugh, Schultz would tell listeners that he was broadcasting from high atop the studios of his Fargo radio station.

If you don't believe people can change, I guess that's your issue.

(39,909 posts)I listened to him when he broadcast out of Bismark (I was in Minnesota).
Ed "tells it like it is",
and if the boss gets mad....so be it.
I believe Big Eddie gave more mid-westerners permission to vote for the Democrat than anyone else in the Media with his "Red Meat Eating, Gun Toting, ass kicking, UNION Democrat" format.
The Right had done an excellent job stereo typing Democrats as lily wristed, limousine riding, latte drinking, effeminate New England effetes. Bid Eddie exploded that myth.
He has turned it down a little since those days, but is still effective.
Good Job, Eddie,
and good luck
Cleita
(75,480 posts)great working with Bernie's press and website people. If Bernie wins, there might even be a place for him in the West Wing of the White House. That would be a sweet revenge.
If I ever have to walk the strike line, I wan to be next to Big Eddie,
and not someone who can't find his "comfortable shoes".

(41,148 posts)there are so many other choices- TYT, FSTV (Free Speech TV), overseas news and internet smorgasbord. Comcast is nuts- who wants to follow Trump, Huckabee and the Clown Car for 1 1/12 years. I'm already over GOP/RW infotainment.

and after his last show, that's it
bvar22
(39,909 posts)and she does.
Do you remember the Iowa Caucus in 2008?
Obama WON.
Edwards took 2nd,
and Hillary was a distant 3rd.
I tuned into Olberman and Rachel to hear them trumpet the news,
but guess what.
Neither mentioned the 2nd Place Edwards....never.
The praised Obama for his WIN,
and praised Hillary for 3rd Place,
but never mentioned 2nd Place, Edwards by name,
or that there was even a 2nd place.
Neither one.
The "fix" was IN.
I had to stop watching MSNBC after that.
That wasn't "news", or even balanced commentary.
They were distributing Corporate Propaganda.
Yes, Rachel and Olberman too.
They were under orders to make it a media horse race between Obama and HIllary.
appalachiablue
(41,148 posts)so yes they tow the corp. line I suppose. Read today somewhere (credible) that Phil Griffin (?) the head, dislikes Ed but likes Chris Hayes. Bright guy, watched him start off like a rocket to decline to a mediocre, nothing special generalist. A lot of it's the limitations by the mgmt. I realize, so they can't focus on more edgy stories.
Hayes the other night was good though when he had on a sharp young tech exec. who kept repeating the terrific 'sharing economy' (so much repetition of pop phrases by bus. types) with enthusiasm over and over until Hayes asked, 'what was shared'? The guy paused and said, 'we share platforms, ideas, all kind of things". But you're still SELLING products and services in a Market, you're not 'sharing' anything, Hayes said. It was correct and cool;, he's going to waste there. But NOMB.

(113,069 posts)I'm surprised you think that Ed, who I love, is somehow 'defying' MSNBC when the entire network has been far more pro-Sanders than pro-Clinton. Suits me fine, but, I'm not going to lie and pretend that Clinton hasn't been getting raked over the coals daily for months now. I'm like Bernie - I don't play the media's BS perception games, and I don't think he WANTS his supporters to play those BS games, either.

(2,682 posts)His show comes on at 2:00 PM Pacific, 3:00 Mountain, 4:00 Central and 5:00 Eastern. His show is particularly aimed at the "worker" demographic. So, just when, during those hours, is a worker likely to tune in? And of the other shows (Matthews, Hayes, O'Donnell, Maddow), only Ed and Sharpton are NOT repeated during the evening and night. Ed's placement in the line-up was guaranteed to draw smaller audiences than the rest. And, interesting isn't it, that he is cancelled just as we are going into the election cycle. I'm retired and home a lot so I have the good fortune to be able to watch him when his show comes on at 2:00 PM Pacific.

(6,719 posts)Is it on regular radio? Something nagging at the back of my mind thinks he is on satellite and I don't have satellite but I do have wifi. Don't laugh! I am asking honestly. Thank you.

(39,909 posts)We live out in the Woods where even Limbaugh can't get through.
All we have is Jesus Radio, a local swap shop, and Canned Radio from Clear Channel.
We got XM 7 years ago to remain sane.
Ed is on the Progressive Channel 127 on my XM.
There are several websites that claim to offer Internet Streaming of Ed's show,
but I can't vouch for them.
Here is one:
http://tunein.com/radio/The-Ed-Schultz-Show-p20211/
Some of those are scams, so I would search around the many offered until I found one that was free,
and had a quality broadcast.
Good Luck.
