What Does The Future Hold For David Shuster?

» 15 comments

Last night, former MSNBC host David Shuster broke his online silence of some five months to inform his Twitter followers that he would be acting as a substitute radio host for Jim Bohannon this week.

Shuster was suspended by MSNBC back in April (before suspending anchors was en vogue) for having shot a pilot with rival network CNN along with NPR’s Michael Martin, and hasn’t been heard from much in the resulting months. However, now that his contract with the network has reached its end, Shuster is free to speak out about his suspension. Shuster’s first interview since his suspension was with Yahoo’s The Cutline, with which he shares that he feels “no ill will” towards the network which previously suspended him for quipping that Hilary Clinton “pimped out” daughter Chelsea.

So what has be been working on these past few months? A whole new venture, it turns out — one that has nothing to do with the pilot he shot for CNN. After taking time to finish a master’s degree in public policy at Georgetown and performing volunteer work at D.C.-area charter school, Shuster accepted a full-time job which he begins in the new year. While he wasn’t able to offer details about that project just yet, Shuster did mention that would “have a huge impact on political journalism.”

    I’m surprised far-left loon Zsa Zsa Huff n’ Puff hasn’t hired him yet to smear excrement on her blog like all the other weirdos she has working for her.

  • Probably NOT wrong

    I thought Shuster was possibly the worst TV commentator
    in the History of the World.
    Then I saw Cenk!

  • Big Eddie

    He might follow Rick Sanchez ‘s lead and become a bestselling author ! Or a hot dog vendor in Pittsburgh !

    Much like a newspaper, I read all the stories. Some I even comment on. How about you hop on down to your local rent-a-center and rent yourself a life? (and get yourself a personality too while you’re there)

    I watched Cenk for what seemed like the longest most agonizing 10 minutes of my life before the election.

    Until I found out who he was I was certain it was Rick Sanchez blown up with a tire pump and on tranquilizers.

    Make him a body double and he can fill in for maddow.

    I’m going to call in and make fun of him for the fact that for three days on MSNBC he used the word “epitaph” when he really meant epithet!

    journOlibtards?

    Soros, lotion boys?

    Oh for Gawd sake, how old are you?
    Now you tell me how George Soros is a threat to the behemoth right-wing media giants known as FOX News and the hundreds of high-powered stations who broadcast Limbaugh? How many years have these people existed vs say….Rachel Maddow or Tom Hartmann?

    George Soros doesn’t make as much money as your Koch bros and hasn’t told his employees how to vote.
    The boogie men on the left ain’t got nothing on your boys, so stop whining and learn how to spell.
