Nov 2012

Schultz gets out and does real investigative journalism. Remember him in Wisconsin supporting public employees? Remember him in at the Freeport Illinois Sensata plant exposing Romney's Bain Capital shipping manufacturing plants and jobs to China? Ed is union's best friend and the only speaker they have with a national audience. The others at msnbc depend almost entirely on staff for their research Ed Schultz gets out and goes to the story like a real reporter is supposed to. Stick with Ed, he's a solid Democrat and very pro union.
