Big Dumb Ed. He is still on maybe a few dozen radio stations daily. In Boston he had been on AM 1200 which later went to Spanish-language, conservative talk, comedy and is now Bloomberg financial...Remember the Ingraham comments...and so much more...
Anything but fair and balanced:
>>Ed Schultz Explains Why He Doesn’t Have Republican Guests: “I’m Sick Of ‘Em!
(May 2011)>>”MSNBC suspended host Ed Schultz for a week on Wednesday after Schultz called rival pundit Laura Ingraham “a right-wing slut” during a radio broadcast teh day before. “
Ed was supposed to be the democrats answer to Rush......
I grew up in the Fargo, N.D. market listening to big dumb Ed reading high school football and hockey scores on the evening news. He hasn’t had that big of an audience ever since.
Almost forgot Boston also had him on AM 1510 for awhile; a station where someone paid (”brokered time”) for libtalk to be on. The money started drying up after awhile and the guy had to resort to podcasting libtalk instead, and the owner of the station flipped to the more profitable sports format anyway.
Love to see him pull a Howard Beale....
“I would like at this moment to announce that I will be retiring from this program in two weeks’ time because of poor ratings. Since this show is the only thing I had going for me in my life, I’ve decided to kill myself. I’m going to blow my brains out right on this program a week from today. So tune in next Tuesday. That should give the public relations people a week to promote the show. You ought to get a hell of a rating out of that. 50 share, easy.”
