Shultz at 6 - its official

[Stinky The Clown]

KO sez

[Dennis Donovan]

1. I consider this very good news!

:thumbsup:

[Stinky The Clown]

3. Still waiting to hear about Shuster

[Dennis Donovan]

7. Good question - they should put him on either at 7 or 10pm...

[Rhiannon12866]

47. KO said they're moving David to the afternoon...

And that he'll still sub for KO when "they let me out of here..." Rachel congratulated both Big Ed and David, but it doesn't sound like a good thing for David, to me... :shrug:

I have missed Big Ed, though, used to listen to him on AAR at noon, weekdays, in my neck-of-the-woods. Is he still going to be on the radio? And will he still broadcast from Fargo? Can't imagine that he'd give up either... :shrug:

[roguevalley]

55. he has 2-5 I think. Or 3-5., He's still on.

[Patsy Stone]

2. What are they going to do with David Shuster?

This is what I want to know.

[Stinky The Clown]

6. Me too. I like Shuster

[Patsy Stone]

13. 3-5 daily.

An extra hour! Yeah!

[Raine]

27. I hope they will repeat

Shuster later cause for me that means he's on at 12:00-2:00 which is an impossible time to watch. :-(

[Patsy Stone]

29. Oh, don't get me wrong, it's not like I'll never be able to watch him either

without a repeat, but I'm happy for him. :)

[pacalo]

40. I like Shuster, too.

[Catshrink]

4. Talking about the "attack on labor"

:applause:

[shaniqua6392]

5. That is great news!!!

What is on the kitchen table in America.....That is what he wants to talk about. MSNBC rocks! He will be focusing on labor in America.

[Tangerine LaBamba]

8. As we say back in the old neighborhood -

"FUCKING A!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

MSNBC just took a HUGH leap over to the left.

A progressive with his own show?

Good. That hideous David Shuster show will be gone, and, with it - I hope - Mrs. Greenspan, Harold Ford, Pat Buchanan, and various and sundry dinosaur suckasses.............

This is really great!

[Stinky The Clown]

14. Shuster goes to a two hour 3 to 5 slot ...... does that cover Mrs Greenspan's gig?

I will miss her like I would miss hemorrhoids.

[Tangerine LaBamba]

23. There's a death slot -

Mrs. Greenspan currently has that, right? I don't watch enough to know for sure.

Who watches 3 to 5?

Well, besides us.

Sometimes.

When we're bored, or don't want to do something, or have a cold, or AMC isn't showing "The Godfather, I and II". (They were on again yesterday!)

I can't stand the lot of them. Harold Ford, like, WTF? Why does he have any kind of credibility?

And why does Buchanan keep rising from the dead? It's starting to annoy me..............

[Rhiannon12866]

48. I think that Norah O'Donnell is on at three...

I can't take her... x(

Since he did so well reporting on the latest Middle East crisis, Rick ("Please taze me, bro!" :evilgrin:) Sanchez gained credibility with me and I switch to him on CNN, if I'm around... :-)

I think Mrs. Greenspan is on earlier. Two? :shrug:

[Tangerine LaBamba]

49. I don't usually watch TV during the day -

the occasional movie on AMC if something great is showing.

Or if there's a newsworthy event.

But, if I watched MSNBC all day, I'd be opening my veins before sundown ...................

[Rhiannon12866]

50. I have MSNBC on most of the time that I'm home...

Just now, it's the third or fourth repeat of "Hardball," which is not my favorite, but they've had regular discussions of the special congressional election in NY-20th, which I've worked very hard on, so it's worth sitting through... :-)

I turn to AMC if I've already seen and heard everything MSNBC has to offer, or if my head is about to explode... :crazy:

But you're right, LOL. No wonder I feel depressed much of the time... :-(

Rhiannon :hi:

[Lugnut]

52. I'm thrilled to be losing her.

I'd much rather watch David from 3 to 5.

[Rhiannon12866]

53. Me, too!

I'll watch David Schuster whenever he's on, has turned into one of the best, while I can't sit through O'Donnell. Sometimes I even check out the sitcoms on WTBS during her hour... :evilgrin:

[shireen]

35. mrs. G is on at 1pm. nt

[livefreest]

19. come on, Dave Shuster is pretty good.

but Ed Schultz is great

[Tangerine LaBamba]

25. No, I don't think he's pretty good -

I remember how he went on and on about "the impending Karl Rove indictment," and should have shut up when even I could see that no indictments were coming down. That was shameful pandering to the good people who desperately wanted such action taken, and he just blew it.

Stuff like that bothers me, and stays with me.

Schultz, though - holy cow! What a big move for MSNBC!

Now, when the GOPigs squeal about the "liberal media," they'll at least be a bit closer to the truth. Not much, but a bit.........

[eleny]

30. The difference I see between the two is that you know where Ed will come down on an issue

With Schuster, not so much. I do like his Hypocrisy Watch and expect he'll keep that segment.

I listen to Ed's radio program occasionally during the week and I'm not often surprised by his stand. I like that he doesn't shy away from being challenged by people to his left when Ed is in the center on an issue.

At first I didn't trust him. I do trust Mike Malloy's sincerity when he alleges that Ed is a right winger in disguise. However I don't let Mike make up my mind for me. Over the course of the campaign, Ed was solidly in Obama's corner. There weren't many who were as loyal every single day. And he's not afraid to call Obama out now that he's been elected and making policy.

That all adds up to winner for my taste. The decision to make the program's focus be kitchen table issues is clean and fresh and old fashioned at the same time. Look out Fox, CNN and President Obama, too. I'll be watching.

[Tangerine LaBamba]

32. I agree, and I

liked his loyalty to Obama.

But, what I like most about him is that he knows the working class, and has a solid blue-collar mentality coupled with a definite pro-labor bias. All the things I happen to embrace.

It just feels like someone I grew up with has finally gotten his own show, and that's very wonderful.

It's going to flip out the Faux News folks.

Oh, let the games begin. "Serf's UP!"

[eleny]

36. Oh yeah, for sure!

Fox doesn't have a working guy Ed equivalent who can take him on.

O'Reilly's attempt at populism, who's looking out for you, has given way to Bill's defending himself full time against Keith and the MSNBC menace in general. I doubt Hannity has had a callous on his hands since he gave up wanking and Glenn Beck is too busy working on his a "newsavangalism" schtick. Any day now he'll be showing up with pink hair and a tie to match.

Fox now has it's hands full. I predict that Ed's numbers may one day eclipse Keith's even though KO remains my favorite. He's the trooper who hung in all alone for years.

[Stinky The Clown]

42. Did you say Cerf's up???

[Tangerine LaBamba]

46. Awwwwwww.............

He was such a cutie, and his kid did all right, too.

[shireen]

38. i adore Malloy, but he's wrong about Schultz

Schultz may be more centrist than other talk show hosts, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.

[Stinky The Clown]

43. I don't even know that he's centrist so much as iconic

He is what he is. he's far left on some stuff and pretty center on other stuff. On balance, he's a true liberal.

[lifesbeautifulmagic]

9. "I am going to talk about the war on labor that has been going on for

the last 30 years."

Oh HELL YES...

[ColbertWatcher]

10. So, what's MSNBC's schedule now? n/t

[texasleo]

11. Tweety, Ed,Tweety, Keith, Rachel

[Born_A_Truman]

15. What about West Coast?

Does that mean 3pm here? What about repeat? It's 6pm here now and Rachel is on.

[roguevalley]

56. Alaska: Schuster, Tweety, Keith, Rachel, Ed, Keith, Rachel, Ed

[Stinky The Clown]

Shuster, Matthews, Shultz, Matthews, Olbermann, Maddow, Olbermann, Maddow

[Pirate Smile]

41. with 2 hours of Shuster before the first Tweety (according to people above)

Sounds like a good block to me.

[Stinky The Clown]

12. Shuster goes to 3 to 5 and stays as KO guest host

[walkaway]

16. I'm hoping this is just an audition for the morning program

Ed would be great and everyone hates Joe. I see his face and turn the channel.

[Bonn1997]

54. That would be ideal!

[roguevalley]

57. it goes a long way for me with David that keith calls him friend and

sticks up for him it seems. I like david anyway but that matters.

[livefreest]

17. awesome

oh my god did you hear him? where was this gem of progressiveness?

[Mojambo]

18. He's a little bombastic in style for my tastes

But another prog talker on cable news isn't a bad thing.

[madfloridian]

20. His support for labor makes "bombastic" fine with me.

I differ with him on some things, but he is great about supporting the working man. We need that right now.

[Mojambo]

22. Agreed about having someone willing to support labor.

If he makes that the focal point of his show then he can be as bombastic as he likes.

[Tangerine LaBamba]

26. The louder the better!

Maybe we Dems have been too well-mannered so far, and a bit of big noise will be a good thing.

I love this ..................

[Stinky The Clown]

24. He represents a blue collar attitude. We need that.

We'll all find reasons to disagree with him. For you, it might be his style. That's okay. But listen to what he says. He's kinda moderate on some issues, but mostly he's a solid liberal. I especially like his stances on labor and unions, and on health care.

[Mojambo]

28. I don't disagree with him on much

I just don't enjoy his broadcasting style. It's the same "problem" I have with Randi Rhodes.

I wish him VERY well on the show. I probably won't watch much. But I don't watch much cable news anyway.

I agree that he is a MUCH needed voice on labor and unions.

[eleny]

31. We've got Ed Schultz talking blue collar issues and the right wing has Joe the plumber

Oh dear.

[Odin2005]

21. As a fellow Fargoan all I can say is WOOT!!!

EDDIEEEEEEEEE!!! :woohoo:

[eleny]

33. MSNBC reaching out to the upper Midwest for a host

That in itself is nice.

[shireen]

34. it's a good thing

i think Schultz will do good.

[Occam Bandage]

37. Neat-o!

[UTUSN]

39. K&R big #5!1 for, I've only seen/heard Ed once, but sounds good to me!1 n/t

[mzmolly]

44. I'm thrilled!

I love Big Ed. I don't always agree with him, but I look forward to his show.

[HughMoran]

45. Alright!

I like Ed - I used to listen to him back when we had liberal radio, so I'm glad I'll be able to get his perspective on things. Finally a guy that unabashedly supports unions!

[ddeclue]

51. Now I've GOT to get my satellite back...
