What’s the over-under on the complete shutdown of MSNBC in the next year?

MSNBC Puts An End To “Psycho Talk” Segment On The Ed Show

They canceled The Ed Show, too? It sounds like somebody at NBC actually started watching MSNBC’s progamming.

RRKING on Torchy . Army thinks that I ‘ve been carrying a torch for this man . Tranquille , Arms . Pas vrai ! The word psycho has always been synomous with us nasty liberals . Now what do we do ? Si triste !

I tend to agree with this decision. I’m not terribly fond of Schultz’s show to begin with, but he doesn’t carry off things psychotic nearly as effectively as Gle(n)n does. I think the psychotic “stuff” is best left to FOX “News”.

Kudos to MSNBC. A new, more civil tone is welcome in cable “news”, even if Murdoch and Ailes think otherwise.

Another positive move. This can only make MSNBC stronger and I hope this is only the beginning..

My wish is that MSNBC will stop the bomb throwing and just admit they are a progressive network.
There is no shame in that. There is Right-wing radio and there is no reason there shouldn’t be Left-wing TV.

Of course I wish Fox would do the same thing but that’s not really my problem.

They might have to get rid of Ed completely though. He seems like he might be unmanageable. No loss.

Isn’t that the truth? They both act like advocacy journalism and an ideological media are somehow inherently bad, even as they pursue just that course. If we all acknowledged that, cable “news” might actually be a valuable part of our national discourse.

I agree with that, as well. Ed’s got a great heart, and he has middle class/working class perspective that can be valuable. He’s just too volatile.

Well Ed , looks like you wimped out for the money…same thing you accuse others of doing. you spent hours and hours being critical of the Obama administration for being heartless wimps…..Well whos the wimp now???? the 1st day after Keiths departure you and Maddow spent lots of time telling the viewer that you would not change a thing…..I guess the boss was listening huh???….I imagine after a week or so you wont ever mention republicans on your show again and start spending all your time going off on democrats just like good little republican paid professional leftest is supposed to do

We are going to get 13 inches of snow in Key West today.
I am in agreement with the two Comment Clowns.

MSNBC would be smart to get rid of this PSYCO!
Fat ED.

COMCAST is moving obviously!

I have an idea both format and hosts are going to start changing
very quickly!

As long as Ed is on MSNBC there WILL be Psyco-Talk on MSNBC.

I can’t believe I’m actually agreeing with you both. But I have to admit BOTH (MSNBC & Fox News) would do better to drop pretences and just come out of the closet. I think they would regain some credibility and boost raitings.

RRKING at the salon ! I came in early to mark down some our inventory . The products not selling well ( that Army ordered ) are being placed on display up front . When you stop by , please shop The Kart ‘O Krap for some delicious bargains ! Toodles !

“Psycho Talk”? Isn’t that the title of Ed’s autobiography?

The Daily Rundown should be the template for MSNBC to move forward.
Savannah Guthrie and Chuck Todd are intelligent and mature and have good chemistry. They’re quite fair too, relatively speaking.

I’ll bet the chief Psycho isn’t happy about that. I sure hope A-MESS-NBC is current on their fire insurance.

I read something about this recently, but can’t remember where (possibly The Daily Beast), comparing the press in the UK to America. Everyone knows the agenda of each paper in the UK and there is no effort to hide it, no claims of being “fair and balanced.” Some people feel that is a better way to be than straining to be fair and being accused of bias anyway.

This lardass, Fat Ed, will be toast soon.
Who is going to watch and listen to this goofball, and his constant
guest lineup of uglies before going to bed?
And aren’t his little nicknames, Drugster, Carabou Barbie, Beckster, Slanthead,
etc. SO CUTE?
That coming from a documented Wife Beater!
Say goodbye Eddie! Your show sucks!

RRKING jumps in . I really feel that it is wrong to give people nasty nicknames .

Mr. Schultz is a good dancer , I hear . Perhaps I should invite him to Austin to our Hairdresser ‘s Ball .

Yes, you were suckered. You bought it hook, line and sinker and it turns out it was all an act. But then, you bought Obama’s act too, didn’t you?

There hard news IS fair and balanced. The main news guy, Shep, is a lib for heaven’s sake.

I was using “fair and balanced” to make a larger point.

Don’t be an idiot. Covering car chases and tornados does not a liberal voice make. They would never give him a daily opinion show and you know it.
The closet they come to a liberal host is Geraldo once a week and he mostly covers the crime beat.

You know this, you just can’t admit it.

Yes being left of right does not automatically make one a liberal.

Y’all miss Colmes, don’t you?

BFD says:

Don’t be an idiot

Don’t worry, you’re still the chief idiot around here. Are you denying that their hard news is down the middle? They put opinion shows on the air that people WANT to watch and can get ratings. Why would they go down the MSNBC route when they get NO ratings? Yeah that makes sense.

ps you guys may hate Greta, but she’s a DEM.

I will admit that when a cat is caught up in a tree Shepard will neither blame it on the left or the right.

BFD, I’ll take your inability to answer as proof that you do think they are fair and balance, or that you can’t prove otherwise.

Another name, but the same disagreeable, dark soul, Michelle-in-Utah. What in the name of All the Heavenly Choirs of Angels and Archangels are you bleating, kvetching, moaning and whining about. You have effectivel admitted that FOX “News” has little news programming; that it is essentially commentary; and that the commentary is reight-leaning. Fine. Stop calling it a “news” channel, give us a little fairness and balance, and little truth in advertising. Why not: “FOX is Right!” That’s essentially what psters are arguing for here, well except for you and thar idiot Kumquat who never addresses the subject of any link.

Not what I meant. Reading into it too much. I think it’s normal for people to feel like the other side was suckered by someone. For example, many people think Obama voters/supporters were suckered by him. I feel the same way about Chris Christie fans.

You change names so often, Michelle-in-Utah, I may have gotten confused, but didn’t you write:

So, one hour of news on a 24 hour “news” network is not “little news programming”?

Hey moron, I said he’s the MAIN news guy, not the only one.

ps, I had to change my name because one of my many stalkers was using it to post disgusting things. Me thinks it was probably you, since it fits your MO to a T. Thankfully, I think Mediaite put a stop to it.

That’s interesting. In what way? Has he altered his course of what he promised pre-election?

It has nothing to do with what he promised pre-election. I think he has done a masterful job getting people to think he has accomplished far more than he actually has. He is great and generating widespread media attention and he sure knows how to pick a fight, but IMO he has used those abilities to make it seem like he has done way more than he has.

“great at”

Well that does not seem to be the opinion of people who live in NJ or many govenors democrat or republican..You see Jerry Brown and Anthony Cuome who both are following the same path..Just because you dont like him does not mean he hasnt accomplished what he said

But i guess you coukld say the same thing about Obama, Certainly more than Christie

Accomplished in the last year? Can’t imagine he could get much done. What has he said he’s done? My father lives in Jersey, hasn’t said much either way. Aren’t most politicians all about media? Unless their diddling hookers, that is.

I live in NJ. Opinion on Christie is pretty mixed overall at this point. Last approval rating I saw was about 50%. If a governor talks about fiscal responsibility, that does not mean they are following Christie’s path. He wasn’t the first governor to talk about that. Just because you like him doesn’t mean he has accomplished what he said.

I meant that his supporters believe he has accomplished far more than he has. How else do you explain calls for him to run for president in 2012? And some politicians are far more skilled than others at utilizing the media.

Your saying he doesnt have enough exprience to run for president and i believe he agrees, too bad Obama didnt agree with the same,, I mean you must believe he didnt have enough experience right..
And his approval rating in a state that has a democratic strong hold is pretty damn good

I never said he lacks the experience to run for president. I think he has convinced some people that he saved NJ almost overnight and therefore those people are clamoring for him to run for president. A lot of his support is from outside NJ. They hear certain people talk about how amazing he is and believe every word of it.

paulmdoro said:

Could be because he at least comes off as an individual that says something, can back up his views and sticks with it. I think there are a lot of people looking for that in a politician, now you can argue about his views, I’m just talking about integrity. Might be too early to tell if he can be effective.

North or South? I grew up near Wayne.

This guy is out of control and is radicalizing the American youth. He needs to be stopped.

I grew up in Monmouth county.. and have seen the destruction of NJ first hand..Now its got along way, but they have to start somewhere and i think he is doing a decent job so far..

North Jersey. I think he has already flip-flopped on things, like most politicians. I think people like that he bullies the teacher’s union and picks fights with people at town hall meetings. Some like that, others like myself, do not.

Notice any trends?! Revolution is breaking out in parts of the world due to economic woes. Including a disastrous and abusive government in Egypt to whom we give more than two billion per year. We have more than QUADRUPLED our annual federal deficit spending in the last 2 years. We have two undeclared wars approaching nearly a decade of crime against our troops and those in foreign sovereign states alike. We are hopelessly bankrupt but just added a gargantuan new entitlement program. REAL unemployment is probably over 20% when you take out all the book-cooking the Dept. of Labor does to skew the numbers down. Foreclosures are at an all-time high. Real inflation is starting to take off like a rocket. Yet we’re subsidizing the burning of a huge chunk of the world’s food supply in wasteful ethanol programs.

And THESE CR^P HEADLINES aree what is passing for the domestic news?! First, Mediate, you ought to be ASHAMED of yourselves for perpetuating this garbage. As godawful as the selection of news is within the media, your take on it is more selection than reflection of what is out there. It is sick. We have real issues and you are fanning the flames of the worst sort of distractions from the important.

I encourage all readers to seriously consider what is truly important. And in so doing, I encourage all readers to seriously consider whether it makes any sense to support this site with further traffic.

Please think about it.

Booker would have too much pushback from Liberals, because he doesn’t fit into the Democrats’ stereotype of a black leader.
They use the Tawana Sharptons of the world to keep their black voter base firmly ensconced on the Liberal Democratic plantation; hence, they are VERY threatened by independent-thinking black leaders like Cory Booker.

The entire show is psycho talk for a psychotic audience. Jared Loughner makes more sense that Special Ed.

What PMSnbc should have done and could still do is get rid of the lying, trouble making Edith ‘Fat & Angry’ Schultzie show altogether. God that guy should not even be on television unless to be used as how NOT to do an UNbiased political show. Comcast can’t take over operations of PMSnbc fast enough.

Actually PMSnbc should just go ahead and call Missy Edith ‘Fat & Angry’ Schultzie’s horrible excuse of a TV show ‘Psycho Talk’ by a complete and total loony tune!

So I guess they are not even going to give him five shows a week? It says a lot when they supercede your Friday show for a documentary on the Kentucky prison system.

Everything you say that should be our concern, is in the news several hours each day! (you put a nice spin on some of it) Your right ,there is a little less of it on this site, however this site differs from other type news! Fox reports some news, with 100% their spin and promotes their politics the rest of the time! You will say the lamestream media is all liberal, so there are differences! Yes, this site reports pregnant teens with no education to get huge fees for nothing, women that say grow some balls, bs and WTF (real class for a fake christian pres. want to be) and pokes fun at a network that says they DON,T use the word “Nazi”,. (with clips showing the same time after time) but this is what makes the tea party happy! This site is kept alive by all the teas hating something that’s not there! That’s why some people come here, for the laughs!

I was looking after that show on the internet coz the very ” psycho talk ” segment I found it very interresting.
Since I now know it’s closed…
Someone else doing the same, with good skills. Count me in your pools.
