Honesty doesn't sell. Ed has done more for liberal politics than anybody else including Obama.
Posted by: Mary | January 06, 2012 at 06:07 PM
interesting and telling that when Ed Schultz tries to bring a little objective opinion to the table that many of the usual suspects get upset.
very telling.
Posted by: Puget Sound Blathers | January 06, 2012 at 06:12 PM
Schultz is a piece of work. He and Al Sharpton are a couple of reasons why MSNBC's viewership for their shows is miniscule compared to Fox and even CNN - even worse than when Olber-fuhrer was on.
Posted by: KS | January 06, 2012 at 07:34 PM
OLBY is in the process of imploding over at his current network.
he is running true to form.
ESPN, Fox, and MSNBC all got tired of him and his crap.
As Big Ed found out: 'The Truth, the Usual Suspects can't handle the Truth.'
Posted by: Puget Sound Blathers | January 06, 2012 at 08:17 PM
Anyone watching TV Newser, and the buzz in cable in the last year knows Schultz has come a long way in a short time, and MSNBC with Maddow, Schultz and O'Donnell are starting to give CNN and Fox some real competition.
Posted by: Rod Blume | January 06, 2012 at 08:18 PM
"Many" get upset. I see just one person making a comment that could only barely be thought of as complimentary and you say "many".
Interesting hyperbole.
Posted by: jph | January 06, 2012 at 08:20 PM
It's more about who watches TV. People who self-describe as liberals watch less TV than people who say they are conservative, according to Pew. Same with talk radio.
Posted by: Mungo | January 06, 2012 at 08:22 PM
I meant my comment to be highly complimentary. "usual suspects" - ??????.
Posted by: Mary | January 06, 2012 at 09:11 PM
I have to say this about the people that Schultz is yelling at: at least Dems don't allow them to run the party. Unlike a certain political party I know.
"MSNBC's viewership for their shows is miniscule compared to Fox and even CNN"
Posted by: KS | January 06, 2012 at 07:34 PM
FOX's viewership continues to drop while CNN's and MSNBC's continues to grow. Time ain't on your argument's side, KS.
Posted by: Mike D | January 06, 2012 at 10:16 PM
LMAO - you won't live long enough to see MSLSD overtake Fox News, Mike D and CNN is still quite a ways behind FNC. Au contrere, time is not on your side.
How about supplying some factual numbers that prove your argument ?
Posted by: KS | January 06, 2012 at 10:38 PM
Fox and CNN (digital economy)come cheaper than MSNBC (digital preferred). Rocket science, KS?
Posted by: Mary | January 06, 2012 at 10:47 PM
At the end of any given month Fox always has more viewers than CNN and MSNBC combined, all day long and, through most of the day, you can add HLN and CNBC and Fox still beats them all combined through a large part of the day.
It has little or nothing to do with cost. Just to the point that people who pay good money for TV demand quality and integrity.
Don't worry too much about it though. There is always a market for freak shows and that will sustain MSNBC and the fools that buy in to it.
Posted by: Chucks | January 07, 2012 at 12:22 AM
The deal with MSNBC is that they are for those who want to hear their viewpoints validated instead of being informed.
Their is a crowd for that, a small crowd, but a very loyal one.
So when Ed Schultz tried to introduce a little perspective you can see how that went over with the kool aide drinkers.
The challenge for MSNBC is to find out if they are willing to broaden their appeal or will they elect to remain an insignificant cable network that rarely is able to support live coverage on the weekends and so we are offered yet again 'To Catch a Predator' or 'Amazingly Dumb Criminals' repeats.
Posted by: Puget Sound Blathers | January 07, 2012 at 07:12 AM
Fact meet one opinion and one meaningless fact: nice pontification, Puget.
As for chucks:
EVENING NEWS (Week of December 26, 2011)
Total Viewers Adults 25-54 Households
ABC 7,956,000 1.8/6; 2,154,000 5.1/10
NBC
8,706,000 2.0/7; 2,356,000 5.6/11
CBS 6,159,000 1.5/5; 1,805,000 4.0/ 8
Source: The Nielsen Company,
Nobody watches cable really. A few of you who fit Puget's pontification.

Same song different verse.

so what you're saying is that MSNBC is just a materially less successful version, eh? LMAO
Posted by: Puget Sound Blathers | January 07, 2012 at 02:25 PM
remember president obama's poor plan to avoid fox news? that didn't last long now did it.
he caved to fox.
LMAO
Posted by: Puget Sound Blathers | January 07, 2012 at 04:30 PM
And up until then you made fun of him as being too scared to do it. Now that he has, you still laugh at him.
The PS brand of logic.
Posted by: sparky | January 07, 2012 at 05:07 PM
I haven't seen Borat Obama on Fox News in the last 6 months.
Maybe he is waiting for Fox to host a General election debate, which I hope occurs, so that a moderator who is not a liberal progressive will be asking questions. That will be the real test to see if Mr. Obama is not a chicken***t !
Posted by: KS | January 07, 2012 at 05:57 PM
president obama wasn't "scared." that sounds very juvenile aka "Sparkly Logic"
being a very smart politician he later realized that he was better off renouncing the pledge to boycott fox and going on the very popular fox shows such as bill o'reily. he did well on the show and was treated fairly by o'reily.
see Sparkles, he wanted to appeal to a broader base. he did fine and no doubt picked up some votes in the process.
as big Ed points out, the koolaide drinkers gotta grow up.
Posted by: Puget Sound Blathers | January 07, 2012 at 06:02 PM
If you're looking for logic, Sparky, don't look to Puget Sound. Changing the subject is is answer to most debates. materially less successful - interesting point of view. I always thought quality cost more. Isn't that why more people go to Target than Nordstroms or Macys? Or is the Viacom Corporation afraid of giving people MSNBC at the bargain rate they give away Fox and CNN?
