You guys remember Ed Schultz on MSNBC? Now he works for RT and he's pro-Putin and pro-Trump....

[Cali_Democrat]

Back when he hosted a prime-time talk show on MSNBC, Ed Schultz divided the world into heroes and villains. The heroes usually included Democrats like Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. The villains were most Republicans, and especially Donald J. Trump. When Trump obsessed over Obama’s birth certificate and academic credentials in 2011, Schultz branded him “a racist.” When Trump flirted with running for president the next year, Schultz ridiculed him. “Who has shown any interest in Donald Trump being the next president of the United States other than Donald Trump?” he fumed. “Mr. Trump, stop embarrassing yourself!”

Another bad guy was Russian President Vladimir Putin. Schultz delighted in ripping conservatives for what he called their “love affair” with the Russian leader and his ability to make Obama look weak on the world stage. “They hate Obama so much they will even embrace the head of the KGB ... ‘Putie’ is their new hero!” Schultz said in one 2013 segment. In another, he smugly reminded conservatives about Putin’s “nasty human rights record” and the way his “reckless behavior” was “crippling” Russia. More generally, Schultz often framed GOP opposition to Obama as “anti-American” or “unpatriotic.”

That was all before last July, when MSNBC abruptly canceled The Ed Show after a six-year run and dumped the 62-year-old prairie populist from the network. By the time Schultz resurfaced this January, he had been reincarnated in a very different journalistic form: as a prime-time host, reporter and political analyst for RT America, the U.S. branch of the global cable network formerly known as Russia Today, funded by the Russian government.

Gone is the praise for Obama and Clinton. Gone, too, are the mocking references to “Putie.” And gone are the judgments about others’ patriotism. Schultz’s 8 p.m. RT show, The News with Ed Schultz, now features Putin-friendly discussions about the failings of U.S. policy in the Middle East, America’s “bloated” defense budget and the futility of NATO strategy.

Even Trump is getting a new look from Schultz. Speaking at various points on RT in recent months, Schultz has said that Trump “has tapped into an anger among working people,” is “talking about things the people care about,” and even, as Schultz recently declared, that Trump “would easily be able to function” as president.

77. Politico: "As Trump has risen, RT has gotten much more interested

in the U.S. presidential campaign. Tune in to Ed Schultz and his colleagues these days and you’ll find a presidential race featuring Hillary Clinton as a malevolent warmonger, Bernie Sanders as an insurgent hero—and Donald Trump as a foreign policy savant.

A network that up until now has found little to celebrate about America has finally settled on a candidate it can believe in. Vladimir Putin’s TV channel isn’t just covering the 2016 campaign: Increasingly, it’s choosing sides.
...
Speaking at various points on RT in recent months, Schultz has said that Trump “has tapped into an anger among working people,” is “talking about things the people care about,” and even, as Schultz recently declared, that Trump “would easily be able to function” as president.
...
Seated next to Simonyan at the dinner and just two seats away from Putin himself was perhaps the most intriguing example of how the Russians have gone about recruiting disaffected members of that establishment: a rugged-looking man in a tuxedo who less than 18 months earlier had been head of the Defense Intelligence Agency, the Pentagon’s powerful in-house equivalent of the CIA. Michael Flynn, now a private citizen after a reportedly disgruntled retirement, was not there to gather intelligence. His attendance at the RT gala, before which he also gave a talk on world affairs, appeared to inaugurate a relationship with the network—
...
At a moment of semi-hostility between the U.S. and Russia, the presence of such an important figure at Putin’s table startled current and former members of the Obama administration. “It was extremely odd that he showed up in a tuxedo to the Russian government propaganda arm’s party,” one former Pentagon official told me.
...
Flynn now makes semi-regular appearances on RT as an analyst (interviewed by Schultz occasionally), in which he often argues that the U.S. and Russia should be working more closely together on issues like fighting ISIL and ending Syria’s civil war. “Russia has its own national security strategy, and we have to respect that,” he said in one recent appearance. “And we have to try to figure out: How do we combine the United States’ national security strategy along with Russia’s national security strategy, despite all the challenges that we face?”

Michael Flynn, whom Trump was just considering for VP, he admires him so much.
Ed Schultz who now sees Obama as the world's troublemaker.

[Stevepol]

122. It's revolting to you because it's bullshit, at least part of it is.

Schultz is not "pro-Putin."

Schultz is, as usual, telling it like it is. Read the quotes below the incendiary headline and you'll see that the Politico article says that "now (his show) features Putin-friendly discussions about the failings of U.S. policy in the Middle East, America’s “bloated” defense budget and the futility of NATO strategy." This sounds like a pretty apt opinion, i.e., that US policy in the Middle East is lousy, the defense budget is indeed "bloated" and a constant confrontational attitude toward Putin is not necessarily the best approach. The remark about Schultz's discussions being "Putin-friendly" is purely Politico's opinion. The ideas are essential good. Shultz isn't on Putin's side because he recognizes limitations in US foreign policy.

I was unaware of Schultz's statement, assuming it's true, that Putin “would easily be able to function” as president. That's a little over the top. I suspect there might be some slicing up of quotes to make something appear to be true that may not be. Because Trump definitely wouldn't be able to tie his shoes as prez without the "mob" or some other criminal type to tell him how to do it and even then he would tell twenty lies on the way to getting them tied, if he ever did, and in the end he'd probably end up buying a whole new pair of expensive shoes rather than worrying about learning to do something so demeaning as tying his own shoelaces the next time. He's definitely the worst presidential candidate I've seen and I doubt if a worse candidate could be found in all of American history.

[Duckhunter935]

2. Very sad, used to like him and

Listened to his radio show.

[JRLeft]

5. He's backing Stein not Trump.

[glennward]

9. And Stein is backing Trump...without saying so. nt

[JRLeft]

13. LMFAO!

[hrmjustin]

16. What is so funny?

[JRLeft]

21. She's not backing Trump.

[hrmjustin]

23. No but helping him.

[JRLeft]

27. She's going to lose ND, but it still helps him? How?

[hrmjustin]

32. She is not only running in ND.

[JRLeft]

39. He's voting in ND. So that doesn't impact ND. It's going Trump.

[hrmjustin]

44. Ok but in post 23 I was making the point overall Stein is helping Trump.

Meaning nationally which she clearly is.

[JRLeft]

49. Gary Johnson is and is having a bigger impact than Stein.

[hrmjustin]

52. Yes he is having an impact. But my point still stands that Stein is helping Trump.

[JRLeft]

55. In my opinion those 2 should be allowed in the debates.

[hrmjustin]

59. I don't. I don't want Stein to get any help.

[JRLeft]

62. Presidential debates should include all of the political parties and should be questioned

by the League of Women Voters.

[Lord Magus]

85. All political parties? So we should have like 30 people on the debate stage?

The Libertarians and Greens aren't the only minor parties that nominate presidential candidates. Why should we distract from the debate between the actual contenders by also including every vanity candidate who gets their name on the ballot somewhere?

[hrmjustin]

113. Hillary is the best candidate and Stein is helping Trump.

[SticksnStones]

121. All 2016 Presidential Candidates should be included in the debates

From Ballotpedia.org

As of July 15, 2016, a total of 1,796 candidates had filed a Statement of Candidacy with the Federal Election Commission.[1].

It could become quite unwieldy...

now that Ed works for Putin.

1. Of course.

The DU Terms of Service make clear that we support the Democratic nominee. Presidential elections in the United States are a zero-sum game in which other candidates must lose in order for the Democratic candidate to win. We are competing with Jill Stein and Gary Johnson and Donald Trump in our effort to win the presidency. They are our opponents.

[chwaliszewski]

143. Offended? No. It's the logic or lack of that is troublesome.

If you vote for Hillary, she has one vote. If I vote for the rabbit from Trix cereal, Trump's vote total doesn't increase by one because of me. So the whole 'a vote for Stein is a vote for Trump' spiel is all hogwash.

[rjsquirrel]

3. He's not the only progressive hero

on the RT payroll.

They're entertainers: they say what they're paid to say.

[BlueCaliDem]

17. And Putin has money to burn - stolen from the Russian people, of course. But that's what despots do:

steal from their people, and Putin's networth today is over $200 BILLION, more than twice that of Bill Gates!

Let's also not forget how Schultz lobbied on his MSNBC show to "teach the BlueDogs a lesson" and for "Liberals to stay home" in 2010. He got his wish and in a census year of all years, too!

The Republicans took control of our House and swept through States (except California, thanks to the Latino and African-American vote) where they took control of governors houses and State legislatures for at least 10 years.

Look how well that worked out for us ever since.

[revbones]

79. I'm sure you think Maddow has some integrity left as well.

But isn't she just an "entertainer" too?

[rjsquirrel]

87. Absolutely

You can tell she is constrained by whom she works for. However, her employer is not directly an institution controlled by state power. And it's an American company. So there are differences.

[JRLeft]

4. He doesn't support Trump I've watched his show.

He's backing Jill Stein.

[Skinner]

6. Close enough. (nt)

[JRLeft]

7. Jill Stein isn't Trump. His state is going republican anyway.

[MohRokTah]

15. Actually, yes, she is Trump. Tehre is no difference.

A vote for Stein is a vote for Trump.

There is no difference.

[Hortensis]

64. Today's Green Party is useless except as a way of expressing rejection

of the other parties, for making a statement by trashing their own votes. But for some that's value enough.

[MohRokTah]

68. Anybody who has ever even barely studied poltics understands how this works.

If you want to start a new party, it must be built from the ground up, not the top down.

Every third party wannabe since the Republicans did it the right way pre-Civil War has attempted to build their party from the top down and every one of them has failed.

[grossproffit]

83. Yep. A vote for her is indeed a vote for Trump. This isn't rocket science.

[JCanete]

88. fuck that nonsense. It isn't the same thing at all. If that ends up being the result, it isn't a

Stein supporters fault that it went that way. Your insistence on diminishing people who try to vote on principle is pretty shameful. If the democratic party had been what it should have been the last 30-40 years, reactionary magnets like Trump would never have been able to survive in the political climate, so while I'm not one of the supporters of a third party candidate, I understand the frustration with the establishment and the GAME of politics it likes to play out for the masses, while the same interests continue to get served. Bother to make a nuanced and thoughtful argument as to why people shouldn't vote for Stein for a change. There are plenty of good reasons, and even practical ones, without resorting to name-calling and accusations.

[MohRokTah]

89. There is no principle involved in voting for Fascist Stein.

IT is the exact same thing as voting for Trump.

There is no measurable difference whatsoever.

[JCanete]

92. Okay, I'll step back from what I said, if your complaint is about Stein as a candidate, and not as

a spoiler. I may have misinterpreted your original post, and I haven't looked hard at her platform, and have no business commenting on that or your opinion of it. So if I did mistake you, my apologies.

[Hyper_Eye]

120. No their complaint is not about Stein. It is hyperbole and nonsense.

You can read about some of Stein's political beliefs here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jill_Stein#Political_positions

Her platform is very liberal and most of it is generally supported by people on this site. Further down the truth is revealed when the poster states that there are only two possible votes in this election: for Hillary or for Trump. They stipulate that a vote for anyone other than Hillary is the same as voting for Trump and thus a vote for fascism. Through this silly logic they label Stein a fascist. It's absolutely ridiculous. A vote for Jill Stein is a vote for Stein and nobody else.

[JCanete]

125. thanks for the clarification, and sadly, no surprise. nt

[MohRokTah]

140. Stein is an outright openly stated FASCIST, and so is anybody who would vote for her.

She claimed Trump was better than Hillary. That makes her a self avowed FASCIST!

[chwaliszewski]

144. Your ill logic is truly unbelievable.

[JustAnotherGen]

151. Plus 1000!

[grossproffit]

12. This! eom

14. Except he's not backing Trump.

[hrmjustin]

19. No he is supporting Stein which is just as sad.

[MohRokTah]

22. Yes, he is.

You just admitted he is supporting Stein and there is not any difference at all between supporting Stein and supporting Trump.

They are identical positions.

[JRLeft]

25. Hillary was going to win North Dakota?

That's news to me?

[MohRokTah]

26. Irrelevent.

Voting Stein is morally the same thing as voting Trump regardless of where you live.

They are identical positions.

[JRLeft]

29. Please explain?

[MohRokTah]

31. I already did.

[JRLeft]

35. No you didn't you just repeated a point.

[MohRokTah]

38. You obviously missed it.

[JRLeft]

41. Saying they are the same isn't an explanation it's a talking point.

[MohRokTah]

48. Yep, you missed it. eom

[JRLeft]

53. No I didn't you have no standing which is why you cannot explain

your position.

[MohRokTah]

56. I explained it. You missed it. That's it.

[JRLeft]

60. Are you trying to say Stein is fascist or Trump is a progressive it's one or the other?

[MohRokTah]

65. Stein is a fascist.

There are two choices in our presidential elections. A vote against the Democrat is a vote for a fascist.

There are no other choices.

[JRLeft]

67. Evidence?

[MohRokTah]

69. Every election since 1856. eom

70. You made it up. At least you admit it.

You're entertaining.

[HarmonyRockets]

127. How about her polling 3% in polls?

It's down to 2 people you know.

Who are you planning on voting for, by the way?

[chwaliszewski]

103. So if you don't vote at all, who is it helping?

I've never voted Republican in my 30 years of voting but some of the logic by some Democrats here is just insane.

[Nancyswidower]

128. That's not how voting math works...

Say you vote for Hillary...that's a vote in her column....say I vote for Sponge Bob...that is NOT a vote for Trump
Hillary's vote total has NOT been decreased and the Dumpster's has NOT been increased.
Just a smaller pool of main candidate votes...NOT a Trumpanzee vote.

She and schultz have (had?) the same positions on the issues.


You see where this is leading right? You can't do the purity thing at will.

86. I have zero idea as to what you're talking about

And I have zero idea why you're so hung up on purity. It's a little odd, frankly.

But hey, you do whatever you need to do. I'll be working to defeat Trump, a long with most people here.

112. Nope. I got the point just fine.

[Music Man]

28. I never cared much for Ed Schultz's faux journalism on MSNBC, which was a caricature of the left.

"Time to get out your phones for today's poll. 'Do you think John Boehner is a terrible Speaker of the House?' And the results are in... Wow! 98% think John Boehner is a terrible Speaker!"

He was actually a Republican until the late '90s or so. He's a mere talk show host. A weathervane, actually.

[runaway hero]

40. He's backing stein

OP loves stoking the flames.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

42. I don't know about this story or RT in general but Ed just never struck me as genuine.

Can't put my finger on it but something about him just threw red flags up all over the place. His support of progressive positions was great yet it was interesting how seldom any other progressives aligned with him. He seemed alone out there like no progressives in a position to know him wanted to risk their reputations.

[JRLeft]

45. He's backing Stein.

[Maru Kitteh]

138. Backing Stein helps Putin's boy, Trump

[chwaliszewski]

145. How exactly do you figure that?

If someone votes for Stein, the vote goes to her, not Trump.

[rug]

43. He started out on conservative radio.

After two decades of sports reporting, Schultz launched a 2 1/2-hour regional talk show in 1996.

The show, which he continues to host, blends interviews with local officials and sharp-edged banter with callers, spiced up with Big Eddie's rants about national affairs. He might report on a local school board meeting, break for the latest on pork belly futures, then swerve into acid commentary on the presidential primaries. The broadcast area reaches into South Dakota and Minnesota; on any given morning, nearly 30% of radio listeners in the region are tuned in to his show.

For years, Schultz's patter on the regional show was conservative. He scoffed at the homeless for complaining about the cold. "How about getting a job?" he'd ask. He sneered at the three Democrats who represent him in Congress, nicknaming them the Three Stooges.

"I lined up with the Republicans because they were antitax, and I wanted to make a lot of money," Schultz said.

Thanks for posting this article. I was not aware of this Russian funded propaganda network before. Larry King doing their bidding too.

Putin/Trump/Flynn/Manafort are thick as thieves.

Although Ed Schultz is not "endorsing" Trump, if the article is accurate in describing Ed's comments, he is "enabling" Trump and Russian agenda by soft pedaling any criticism of Trump and making him seem more palatable to American voters.

[RonniePudding]

If they were openly pro Putin they wouldn't be able to bamboozle some on the far left. If you look around, those are the folks pushing the "nothing to see here" meme.

Schultz’s 8 p.m. RT show, The News with Ed Schultz, now features Putin-friendly discussions about the failings of U.S. policy in the Middle East, America’s “bloated” defense budget and the futility of NATO strategy.

True, but US Mideast policy is a disaster, the US does have a bloated war budget and the NATO strategy is provocative and war inducing.
