Military reverses plan to add Ed Schultz show to Armed Forces Radio
RAW STORY

The United States' military's Armed Forces Radio has reversed a decision to add The Ed Schultz show to their lineup abroad, RAW STORY has learned.

Schultz was told Sept. 29 he would be added to the military's programming today. That decision was reversed this morning. His producers are currently seeking answers from the military.

On his program Friday, Schultz attacked Alison Barber, an Armed Forces official, over President Bush's staged conversation with U.S. troops in Iraq. Barber is an Assistant Secretary of Defense.

Armed Forces Radio provides programming to American troops wherever they are stationed abroad. The network carries newscasts from a variety of outlets, including NPR and the Associated Press, along with commentary from Rush Limbaugh, Dr. Laura, among others.

1. Hmmm...a reason

Take three guesses and the first two don't count.

2. Good @#%@ god,

can they be any more obvious than this? Talk about partisan politics. Gotta keep them people brainwashed.

3. WHAT??????

If this is true, then look for a quick reversal of the reversal. This is too obviously political payback, even for this administration.

4. Wow- sounds like he doesn't have much "in common with the righties"

after all.

Ed Schultz is one of the most moderate liberal talk hosts, IMHO. He's unacceptable, but Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity are fine. Interesting.

5. No big surprise. The reason will be interesting.

Bullshit, but interesting.

6. So fucking typical of this gang ot thugs. Can't have any other info.

get out there other than brain-washing rightwing propaganda and lies, can we now? After all, we're fighting for freedom to, um, surpress the free speech of others ...

They're so fucking predictible. What surprised me in the first place was that there was even an inkling that they'd "allow" Ed on.

7. I was surprised at the original idea of him broadcasting as well. n/t

8. Knew it was too good to be true

They've resisted allowing a counter to Limbaugh for over a decade. I hope Harkin is all over this, it's too important to let slide.

9. They don't want the truth out there

Pure propoganda nonsense from O'Reilly etc. but nothing with the truth. I may not be a Schultz fan but this is ridiculous!
