In reply to the discussion: Ed Schultz OUT at MSNBC? [View all]wishlist
(2,795 posts)72. Ezra has zero political backbone or opinions, just a numbers guy
I haven't seen Ezra once since before the election. Before the election when he was asked his opinion he always made it clear he would not make any political comments, but strictly give factual number crunching info. Of course, we claim him as a progressive since Dems are the party of reality based number crunching and numbers are on our side when it comes to economics (tax cuts to wealthy don't create jobs or increase growth etc). I can't seem him as a host, just as a contributor of facts that tend to back Democratic policies.
Love Ed, will miss him greatly but sympathize with him if he has decided to leave.

Ezra Klein bores the hell out of me. MSNBC is in a constant state of musical chairs
