Audio of David Shuster subbing for Jim Bohannon Explains Departure, Slams Fox News, Glenn Beck
Edited on Thu Dec-30-10 06:37 PM by RamboLiberal
Shuster, filling in on the Jim Bohannon radio show Wednesday, told listeners MSNBC could not be compared to Fox News:

"MSNBC will never be as liberal as Fox is conservative."

Mentioning a recent-and debated-study that found Fox News viewers were far more likely to be misinformed than viewers of other cable news, Shuster said "most of Fox News is not dedicated" to the kind of journalism exemplified by what he sees as the small number of "terrific journalists" at Fox. Shuster named Shepard Smith as an example, saying of the rest:

"It's dedicated to a very sharp point of view," he said, adding that there's "ample evidence on a daily basis" that Fox News is committed not to impartial news coverage, but "partisan politics."

Shuster specifically singled out Glenn Beck, calling Beck "abhorrent" for a recent segment where the Fox host accused George Soros of "helping send the jews to the death camps." Shuster said "that kind of stuff just would never fly at any other organization but Fox News."

Near 11 minutes of Shuster audio at the link. Be cool if he got his own radio and/or TV show.

4. He hopes to announce them early in the New Year
but has been asked by his new employer to hold off for their big roll out.
It's a new operation.

3. But he called them "conservative". Does he not own a dictionary?
There are a lot of terms Faux and the Republics use to describe themselves, none of which fit my understanding of those words.
