Schultz Fail: Will MSNBC Host Admit His Rally Prediction on Friday Tanked?
October 04, 2010
Through the end of last week, MSNBC host Ed Schultz believed Saturday's One Nation march was going to be a hit. On Friday he predicted that the liberal rally was going to draw "over 300,000":

You might remember that he made a similar prediction on his radio show in early September:
At least he's consistent. However, as we have pointed out, even the mainstream media is estimating rally attendance between 100,000 to 200,000, and has pointed out that Glenn Beck's 8/28 rally drew far more.
The Washington Post goes as far as to reference the event's organizers as saying the rally "drew a crowd of 175,000 people," and then adds an interesting caveat: "about what they expected."
Unfortunately for Ed, that could mean two things: neither WaPost nor event organizers listen to, or watch, his show.
Either way, the unofficial-official estimation from "event organizers" raises an interesting question: will Ed admit that his "over 300,000" prediction -- on two occasions -- was wrong?
