Maybe the MSNBC management structure is starting to take to heart the news about how few Americans like to watch them. TV News is reporting that Schultz has drawn the ire of his bosses yet again by saying:
“Here’s the bottom line. What we’re seeing out of this governor of New Jersey is just go to the money, cut whoever you have to cut. There is no ramification for any of this because he’s a cold-hearted fat slob anyway.”
There is no official statement from MSNBC. Just this:
TVNewser hears Schultz has been reprimanded by MSNBC president Phil Griffin.
Not that this news of the reprimand will matter much in American since 70% of Americans don’t even know he exists.
TV Newser also adds:
Just last month, Schultz got a talking to from Griffin and from NBC News president Steve Capus for yelling in the newsroom, “I’m going to torch this [bleep]ing place.” Schultz was upset about not being included in promotional spots for upcoming primary election coverage.

This is so very true. I had no idea who he was either and from the many comments, I am not the only one. I have never watched MSNBC and wouldn’t even think of watching them. The MSM and the cable news as far as CNN & MSNBC go and even certain Newspapers (NY Times, etc.), have clearly shown that they are not News and will never report anything factual. They are a joke.

Posted on September 29, 2010 at 9:00amWhen Comcast gets final approval to take over that sick and disgusting MSNBC it just may not be the Obama State Run Network it is now. It’s amazing how on FOX they have even on Hannity, O’Reilly, guest with opposing views and have great discussions, but on the other ones it’s bash bash bash the Conservatives with NO decent opposings views.
ED? I know who you are, and you’re no good dude, get your bags packed jerk. Your pink slip is on the way

Posted on September 29, 2010 at 9:00amThis is what passes for political analysis on MSNBC. It’s easier than thinking and is a pretty good representation of what their approach to news—call names, ignore facts, circle the wagons. Not working. It demonstrates why Christie’s popularity is ascending and MSNBC is failing.

Posted on September 29, 2010 at 8:50amEven if they got rid of all their hate-America first talking heads it would not bring me back to msnbc or nbc. They have helped the left destroy this nation,they lied and deceived the American public and I would never trust that sickening network ever again. They need to be shown what it is to be run out of business for lying and fraud,just like the political ruling elites.

Posted on September 29, 2010 at 11:01amAgreed, Pale. I am now in the process of looking for a new cable service at home. I have Comcast in my area, and while I like the service, the merger with NBC is just around the corner – I’ll be damned if NBC gets a dime of my hard earned money.

Last month he threatened to torch this {blleeping} place because he wasn’t included in promotional spots? Maybe that’s because 70% of Americans don’t know who he is.

Posted on September 29, 2010 at 10:06amJealousy takes many forms. The lefty demolibersocialcommies are puking their pablum vitriol all over the place because they are starting to see that most of us no longer see them as “cool.“ It has become ”cool“ to stand up for America and her Constitution now and they are all so ”left out.” (pun intended!) My heartfelt prayer is that we never let the giant go to sleep through apathy again and that we have the strength to remain vigilant. “Eternal vigilance is the cost of freedom.”

Posted on September 29, 2010 at 10:09amIt is so obvious this Schultz guy is a loud-mouthed bully! Do you think Ed Schultz and Rachel Maddow are good friends? Do they chat about their favorite vegan restaurants and hybrid cars in the hallways of MSNBC every morning? Do you think Olbermann invites Schultz over to share a pinot and cheese during the football game?
He’s like an SEIU Bull at a fashion show – he’d be the guy who “accidently” made a move on the transgendered “hot babe” because he was too tanked up Old Milwaukee to notice the the knuckles when he shook hands with herm.

Posted on September 29, 2010 at 10:16amWhen all is said and done, the elections are over, I hope there is a long list of news people that will be blackballed. There should be consequences for lies and rudeness and I hope they come home to roost. If the bosses at these liberal stations haven’t gotten the message yet, then perhaps they should be fired along with their obnoxious employees. I believe in freedom of speech but not freedom to lie, slander and persecute just because it suits your agenda. Grow up! Go get a job where you can’t hide but will have to face real people, not the pseudo-elite.
