Good News; Ed Schultz will have a new

[SamKnause]

show starting on January the 26th, at 8:00 PM, ET.

It will be on RT.

This is what is says under the video announcement;

RT, formerly Russia Today, is not beholden to any corporate

interests by virtue of being owned and operated by the Russian government.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

1. But...

How beholden is RT to the Russian government?

[Omaha Steve]

3. We will have to watch and see

I'd rather it not be RT, but any port...

OS

17. It's a Non Union Shop. Knock yourself out.

Not my thing.

[Omaha Steve]

18. Ed never helped his crew at MSNBC organize even after a petition went around

After they fired him maybe he wishes he might have helped them. Most of the MSNBC help isn't union either.

4. Extremely. (nt)

[redstateblues]

2. Seriously?

Not beholden to any special interests? Congrats Comrade!

[Human101948]

11. Where have you been for the last twenty five years?

That smear went out with the Soviet Union and the demise of Communism.

Now, Putinism is another thing.

[OffWithTheirHeads]

5. I seriously doubt Comcast carries RT

Better than nothing I suppose but if you can't watch it, what's the point?

[SamKnause]

6. I think you can watch it online at RT.

[KamaAina]

14. It is on Comcast in San Jose

on one of the leased access channels. Whoopee twang.

[WhaTHellsgoingonhere]

7. Thom Hartmann has explained this dozens of times

...he has full editorial control. Thom and MSM are incompatible. He wouldn't be on RT if he was beholden to Putin. Can't wait to hear Big Ed cut it loose.

[SamKnause]

8. Agree.

[SoapBox]

9. Excellent! Just came to post this as well...

[SamKnause]

13. Thank you !

10. RT has been called a propaganda outlet for the Russian government

“RT has been called a propaganda outlet for the Russian government and its foreign policy by news reporters, including former RT reporters.
It has also been accused of spreading disinformation.
The United Kingdom media regulator Ofcom has threatened RT with sanctions because of repeated violations of its rules on impartiality.
The network states that it offers a Russian perspective on global events."

[Human101948]

12. No more misinformation than we have on CNN, Fox, NBC, ABC and CBS...

They have an oliarchic U.S. perspective on global and domestic events.

[Duckfan]

15. K & R

[Bluenorthwest]

16. Another Non Union shop, this one with extra bigotry sauce.

He was so good on the radio. It's too bad what he's done.
