Ed Schultz Absent for Final MSNBC Show; Guest Host Pays Muted Tribute

By Andrew Kirell, July 31, 2015 Mediaite

This is how the Ed will end: Not with a bang, but a whimper.

The Ed Show was the last of three cancelled MSNBC shows to air its final episode on Friday. And while The Cycle gave a group farewell to conclude their hour, and Now with Alex Wagner exited with laughs and some cussing, Ed was strikingly muted in its exit.

First and perhaps most importantly, Ed Schultz wasn’t even present to give his final MSNBC farewell — due to “pre-existing scheduling conflicts,” MSNBC told us.

Instead Michael Eric Dyson guest-hosted the full hour and saved the goodbyes for a question to progressive journalist John Nichols: “What has The Ed Show meant for middle-class Americans over the past six years?”

On Hillary Emails, Schultz Sees ‘Benghazi Witch Hunt 2’

Mar. 4, 2015



“The Republicans are looking for any excuse to try to discredit Hillary Clinton, no doubt... Now, Clinton is being questioned for the use of her personal e-mail account while she was Secretary of State. I got one word for you here, Benghazi... So, Mitch, how do we turn back a Benghazi witch-hunt Part 2? I mean, this plays right into the Clinton haters’ hands, doesn’t it?”

Ed Schultz Cheers Obama's Likely Veto Of Keystone

Scott Whitlock, Jan. 6, 2015, Newsbusters

Dialing up the hyperbole, the anchor cheerleaded, "We still have a lot of power, the progressives do. The President has just cemented his legacy as one of the most pro-environmental presidents in American history." Schultz promoted his own coverage of Keystone, hyping, "We have followed this project nearly every step of the way for almost a year."

Ed Schultz Does 180, Compares Keystone To 'Nam

Scott Whitlock, Mar. 4, 2014, Newsbusters

The host began his program by recounting how protests against the Vietnam war started small and grew to an estimated 500,000 in 1969. Schultz compared, "Is the pipeline that bad?" After noting that only 400 people came out to rally against Keystone, Schultz connected, "I don't know what it's going to take to stop the pipeline and get the message to the President of the United States." With a picture of Vietnam protests behind him, he concluded, "But for reference, this is what we had to do to stop war."

ICYMI: Ed Schultz Actually Supports Keystone

Scott Whitlock, Feb. 5, 2014, Newsbusters

The anchor quoted one tweet from a viewer who demanded, "We need to stop all oil and gas extraction." Schultz retorted, "Well, my response to that is the hard cold truth is the United States is an oil and gas dependent country and we're going to be for the foreseeable future." In the unfamiliar role of fending off liberal rage, he continued, "And I think it really is a disservice to the conversation and the debate to take an all-or-nothing approach to this." In a final jab at his critics, Schultz concluded, "We're not really confronting reality here."

Ed Schultz Quickly Backpedals After Slamming Obama's Cluelessness on ISIS

Ed Schultz, MSNBC Host
By Jack Coleman, Sept. 1, 2014, Newsbusters.org

What a difference that a few hours -- and change in media platform -- can make when it comes to criticism of President Obama.

On his daily podcast this past Friday, Ed Schultz was surprisingly blunt in hitting Obama for his startling admission a day earlier that "we don't have a strategy" for confronting the deadly threat from the feral Islamist thugs in ISIS. (Audio after the jump)

Schultz said his previous "staunch" support for Obama doesn't mean he's going to be an apologist this time around (audio) --

SCHULTZ: Speaking of clouds, I'm kinda foggy on what the president said yesterday. Now I think it's fair to say, beyond, that I've been a staunch supporter of President Obama and I have easily found a way in times of trouble to explain exactly where he is, where he's going, what he believes in, and how this is a good direction for America, and I have believed all of that. I knew he knew what he was doing on the economy, I know he knew what he was doing on health care. But I'll tell you what, when the president comes out and makes a declarative statement about we do not have a strategy, I don't know how to defend that. That's not good. And if you're a fair-minded American, whether you're a liberal or conservative or whatever, you're a red-blooded, tax-paying American that loves the country, I think you should be troubled by that statement.

The president has plenty of political moxie, the president has plenty of wherewithal in the political arena to know exactly what he's saying, and for the White House to have to come back after the media jumped all over it and explain exactly what he meant, it shouldn't be that way. This is a big effin' deal, according to Joe Biden, and this ain't health care, this is conflict. The president addressing whether he will consult Congress, which is a good thing. He needs to consult the Congress 'cause we don't know where this tug of war with ISIS is going to go. Here he is --

OBAMA: I have consulted with Congress throughout this process. I am confident that as commander in chief I have the authorities to engage in the acts that we are conducting currently. As our strategy develops we will continue to consult with Congress and I do think that it'll be important for the Congress to weigh in. But I don't want to put the cart before the horse. We don't have a strategy yet. I think what I've seen in some of the news reports suggests that folks are getting a little further ahead of where we're at than we currently are.

MSNBC's Schultz Says Stay Out Of Iraq -- His Military Expert Disagrees By Larry Elder

June 18, 2014 al Qaeda , Articles by Larry Elder 0 Comments
Photo credit:  ISIS
By Larry Elder, Jun. 18, 2014

On what to do about a the gruesome images of civilians slaughtered Iraq, MSNBC's Ed Schultz accused "neocons" of "fear mongering."

He argues that we have no real national security interests in Iraq, and any suggestion that we engage in military action amounts to Republican "dirty scare tactics."

Unfortunately, Wesley Clark, the retired, liberal four-star general who once ran for president as a Democrat, did not get the memo. After politely saying that he disagreed with Schultz -- and his other GOP-is-out-there-warmongering guest Rep. Jim McDermott, D-Wash -- "a little," the general proceeded to disagree.  A lot. He said:



"But I see this a little bit differently. I do think there is a real threat here. I don't think we want to let ISIS run rampant. And I don't think we want Iran in there on the ground in Iraq.

"I think this is one of these points in history where if the United States is able to take modest military action, it could have a significant benefit. And so I've felt, as I watched this situation emerge, that if we put in the right kind of liaison with the Iraqi leadership and use the special forces assets that we have available, that we could bring in the right kind of combat power, get the intelligence we need and have a decisive impact militarily.

"Now the military impact is less important than the diplomatic impact. A U.S. power and resolve in this crisis has a big impact -- should have a big impact on Maliki. It's a job of our diplomats and our president to take that leverage and use it. It should also have an impact on Iran.

"As I watch the Iranian nuclear talks I sometimes get the impression Iranians think they are still the most powerful force in the region -- or now that the United States no longer has boots on the ground, they’re the most powerful force in the region, Iran. And that's a mistake. We don't want that to happen. So -- you know, Ed -- the hardest of all military operations is to withdraw on the battlefield under pressure. The United States has done that in Iraq. We're doing it in Afghanistan.

"And we have to be very careful because we're a global power, we're the most powerful country in the world. We do have global interests. And, by the way, we have to watch very carefully the price of oil, because while some people might tell you even if ISIS took over they would be pumping oil like mad, they might.

"But, any problem with that oil market is going to impact directly on the American economy. And it's just an unfortunate fact of life."

Does that sound like a slight disagreement between Schultz and Clark? These are two very different responses. Schultz believes that we have zero national security interest in Iraq, and apparently does not believe we should be worried that the area might conceivably be used to plan and launch attacks against America and American interests the way Afghanistan was used to train for the 9/11 attacks.

Clark, on the other hand, is interesting. Not in Congress at the time of the vote on the Iraq war resolution, Clark said, at various times, that he would likely have supported the resolution (but that it is not a permission to rush); that he would probably not have supported it; and finally to asserting that he “would not have” voted for the resolution. And while Clark evolved into a strong a critic of the Iraq war, he has a very different worldview that that of the host -- and that of the President of the United States.

In 2011, Obama declared an “end” to America’s involvement in Afghanistan, the “nation’s longest war.” But the liberal general Clark understands that, as fervently as Obama may hope, the war on terror cannot be telepromptered away.
