In reply to the discussion: Veteran journalist Ed Schultz returns to primetime on RT America [View all]dreamnightwind
(4,775 posts)107. Awesome, cant wait!
Most people here have probably seen this very recent Ed rant on TYT, anyone that hasn't might want to check it out:
I can imagine RT allowing rants like that. MSNBC, CNN, FIX, ABC, CBS, NBC, no chance. PBS, only in very narrowly carved out niche shows that have long prior institutional history, such as Democracy Now (if Ed was oon that show it would just be as a guest). Otherwise, forget about it, no room for left news and opinion.
So I welcome his new show on RT. Hartmann's show there is worth watching, though the RW'ers they have on that show are too painful so I can't always watch it.
Funny, Ed always looked Russian to me, widow's peak and all.

RT News is very much like Fox News, only with less conflict over their objectives.
