Political pundit, former MSNBC star Ed Schultz dead at 64
FOX News ^ | -- | Brian Flood

Political pundit Ed Schultz has died at age 64, his employer RT America announced on Thursday.

"We at RT America are sad to announce the passing of Edward Andrew Schultz. Ed Schultz passed quietly early morning on July 5 at his home in Washington, D.C. This announcement comes as a shock to all of us here at RT America," the network said in a statement.

Schultz began his career with a successful stint covering sports in the Fargo-Moorhead market. He launched his political career as a conservative talk radio commentator in the early 1990s but he eventually changed his views and aligned with liberals on many issues. He called himself "a gun-toting, meat-eating leftie" during an interview with the Los Angeles Times back in 2004.

Schultz gained national fame when he hosted “The Ed Show” on MSNBC from 2009-2015.

“The Ed Show” was canceled by MSNBC in 2015 when MSNBC president Phil Griffin decided the network needed a new look, which resulted in a drastic overhaul featuring additional breaking news coverage replacing daytime opinion content.

Following his stint at MSNBC, Schultz joined RT America in 2016.

>> just didn’t see it in his RT show or recent interviews. Like Ed said “I don’t agree with Trump on everything” but still lavished praise on his work ethic, executive experience and ability to connect with voters. A far cry from the Schultz of “Trump a racist and “nobody” was interested in seeing him become president” circa 2011.<<

Perhaps he found some grace. God knows I have had some major league changes in attitude in my days.

Wasn’t Ed the one they can canned because it was pointed out that their on-air talent was lily white so they fired Ed and made a show for Al Sharpton?

No. 64 is NOT TOO YOUNG for anyone to pass away. Just think of how many lives would have been saved if 64 year old Nazis and Communists and Islamists would have died instead of living longer and destroying humanity.

Some evil people deserve to die long before 64. Don’t know how old Hitler, Stalin, Lenin, Beria, and others were when they committed their Holocausts and Genocide (Pol Pot too), but the world would have been a better place if they had all died at age 30.

Crazy Ed Schulz. His own worst enemy. Maybe he deserves some peace now. However, I won’t miss him though I would rather keep him around despite his “Russian Collusion” (aka RT), then have Lawrence O’Donnell, Chris Matthews, Rachel Madcow and the other elders of MSNBC and CNN.
