Post on the Ed Show's Facebook page!

I did that yesterday, myself.

We need to build up a visible bulwark that has his back. If the MSNBC brass and other hosts and producers and directors in the control room see this is something their viewers like, it might just spread. LET THEM KNOW this is a workable, and definitely effective tactic on OUR side. This is a teachable moment, that will hopefully get the lesson out there in the open - "HEY CONS, You will NOT go motor mouthing on our shows. You will NOT be rude. You will NOT interrupt. You will NOT just keep on talking over everybody even when asked to stop - and you even talk over the host who's asking you to stop!!!! You will NOT because if you do, your mic will be cut."

And that message should end with ... "And then you won't be invited back."

We have to be there to reinforce this good behavior - CUT HIS MIC. CUT HER MIC.

Have Ed's Back! PLEASE DO!!!! Write him and say thank you! Post it. Tweet it. Email it! Text it. Don't let this go unrewarded! The MSNBC brass needs to know their audience approves. Maybe they'll make it policy then. Or at least they won't discourage its being used as a (hopefully) regular tactic.

The bottom line on all this, PLEASE remember: "If they think YOU don't care, THEY WON'T EITHER!"
