Shout out to Ed Shultz....anyone with me? [View all]

Ed has really come a long way. I realize he is not everyone's cup of tea, and I used to be lukewarm about him myself. But he covers issues that I really care about in a way that I think the average person can relate to.

For example, tonight he covered public education again, and as a public school teacher I really appreciate that. He flat out calls out conservatives on their hidden agenda of privatizing education. I'm just not hearing that anywhere else.

Also, I used to cringe whenever Ed talked to a female. He seemed awkward and/ or condescending. Now he covers the "War on Women" as much as Rachel, and always with female guests. He seems comfortable and does not try to monopolize the conversation. He really listens to the women.

I think he is maturing as a journalist and a liberal, and proving that middle-aged people can evolve and begin new careers. That's an inspiration to middle-aged people like me!

Good job, Ed!
