Relatively good article otherwise.

1. Every left-leaning talker has been assigned to Air America by the MSM at some point.....

2. I think that will get a bigger rise out of Randi Rhodes than Ed....

(though she now detests Air America, she detests Ed, even more) Her ego on that score will get the best of her, when she reads this...;)

[monmouth]

3. That pleases me...n/t

7. I think they made peace a while back.

Shook hands, said enough, something like that. I'll listen to her today, see if she comments.

9. report back, if you would...

I am curious...

10. I heard her talk about it once.

And I haven't heard her badmouth him since then. I can't find a direct
link tho, sorry. I'll check her message board and see what I come up with.

4. His show was carried by some Air America stations, though it wasn't an AA show.

I didn't like him then and hated the failure to carry true Air America shows during the times allotted to his show. And I still don't like him.

5. He was carried by Air America in Chicago

So....OK.

6. Station is not the same as network.

So....OK.

:eyes:

Stations carrying programming are not the same as networks distributing programming.
He might've shared time on the same stations as AAR people, but he was never with AAR.

Facts are stubborn things.

8. So, basically,

you can't stand Ed Schultz and are some pedantic point about whether or not he was employed by Air America.

You fight the power, man.
