You stay classy, you canceled MSNBC hosts [One of them used an expletive to sign off]
American Thinker ^ | 08/01/2015 | Rick Moran

Posted on 08/01/2015 7:13:26 PM PDT by SeekAndFind

In the wake of the decision by MSNBC to drop three of its most incendiary liberal programs, former hosts Ed Schultz of The Ed Show and Alex Wagner of Now with Alex Wagner exited with about as much class as you'd expect.

Schultz apparently threw a tantrum and refused to appear on his last show.  In his place, Michael Eric Dyson gave what Mediaite calls an "understated" farewell.

First and perhaps most importantly, Ed Schultz wasn’t even present to give his final MSNBC farewell — due to “pre-existing scheduling conflicts,” MSNBC told us.

Instead Michael Eric Dyson guest-hosted the full hour and saved the goodbyes for a question to progressive journalist John Nichols: “What has The Ed Show meant for middle-class Americans over the past six years?”

“If this show wasn’t around, I think some fundamental issues — like trade policy — wouldn’t have been explored,” Nichols replied. At its nadir, The Ed Show only had 25k demo viewers watching.

By contrast, American Thinker gets nearly four times as many readers as Ed got viewers.

But Alex Wagner made a memorable exit, using the word "s***" to sign off with:

MSNBC’s Alex Wagner, in closing the final edition of her canceled liberal commentary program Now With Alex Wagner, said “Woo! S***,” as the camera faded to black one last time.

It is unknown at this time why she did this.

While it is no surprise that these libtards would act disgreacfully at their exit, it is for the betterment of the country that they are now unemployed.

Typical libs, throwing a tantrum when they don't get their way. I have no idea who Alex Wagner is - we don't even get PMSNBC through our carrier (thankfully), but I'm glad to see FathEaD got the axe. He's a belligerent, loudmouth thug. He'd have a great second career as a corrupt union boss.

Calling Al Sharpton a reverend is like calling Jeffery Dahmer a chef.

Makes no difference. No one was watching anyway.

If a MSNBC swears on air and no one sees them, does it really matter?

Why would you allow anyone on the air who knows they are about to be fired?

Sharpie is black. If MSNBC fired him there will be riots and looting in front of MSNBC studio’s.

There was a talk show host in my region who was on for years. I thought he was an absolute jerk. Occasionally I would listen to him for a minute or two just to see if he was still a jerk, and a jerk he always was. You could wait two years, then turn him on for ten seconds, and be guaranteed to hear him say something stupid and obnoxious.

Anyway, when the station (owned by Clear Channel) finally fired him a few years ago, they wouldn't let him on the air to say goodbye. They fired him without any warning, and that was it, he was gone.

I'm quite sure they did it that way because they weren't sure he would conduct himself professionally if he knew he was being canceled.

It must really kill Wagner and Sgt. Schultz that they were bounced from their big bucks jobs......and Sharpie Sharpton remains....rakin' it in.

The two liberal big mouths were so, so fond of forced "affirmative action" and "diversity" for others to swallow.....now they're hoist by their own petard.

Poetic justice at its finest, hah, hah.

Most of his viewers only tune in to see how bad he flubs his lines.

Even the libtards at MSLSD have to respond to their advertisers, or in the case of people like Ed Schlitz, the lack of advertisers. Can’t keep putting blowhards on the air if they’re not generating the advertising dollars or ratings to justify keeping them on. Anyone surprised that Schlitz threw a tantrum because he was being canceled? Dude is a legend in his own mind.

I have a feeling that the motivation for toning down the rabid hard leftist rhetoric on MSLSD is to give a bit of moderation as they still continue to support government leftists, but be sneaky about it appealing to more of the "middle of the road" voters that might swing to the left ic only for election day if the DNC scripted and paid for message comes across more positively, more gently.

I just wanna know when Rachel Maddow is gonna shave her legs and grow her hair out... put on a high hemmed skirt and low cut blouse... and get a new desk to show off her gams, Fox News Babe style.
