MSNBC’s Ed Schultz lamely went after Media Research Center President (and NewsBusters publisher) Brent Bozell on his Tuesday night program, trying to mock Bozell’s statement that the Obama White House’s crusade against Fox News was baseless. “You can’t point a finger to anything that Fox News had done incorrectly,” Bozell had said Monday on Lou Dobbs’ radio show.
Ha, ha, ha, Schultz stage-laughed into MSNBC’s cameras. He then ran six clips of pundits and opinion hosts on Fox saying various things about Barack Obama, most of which could be categorized as personal opinion (such as a clip from Bill Sammon referring to “Obama’s agenda towards socialism”). Here we go again. As is so typical with these attacks on Fox News, Schultz was unable to come up with a single instance of a Fox News correspondent or news anchor saying anything incorrect — certainly nothing that would justify the Executive Branch going to war against the network — thus proving Bozell’s point for him.
Even Schultz’s NBC/MSNBC colleagues have stood up against the Obama White House's effort to block Fox News reporters from participating in a pool event last week, which shows how far out Schultz has to be if he’s still defending Obama's efforts at media intimidation.Here's the transcript of Schultz's rant from last night (video below the jump):
ED SCHULTZ: Tonight in "Psycho Talk," Halloween week continues with "Bozo the Clown," Brent Bozell. I tell you, this guy is a piece of work. Now, this all-American nobody NewsBusted his way onto the low-rated Lou Dobbs radio show — nice booking, Lou.
Bozell was defending Fox News against the White House, and ol' Loco Lou let him get away with this one:
BRENT BOZELL (audio): You can't point a finger to anything that Fox News has done incorrectly.SCHULTZ, laughing: Now, that's coming from a guy who is President of the Media Research Center. Uh, what the heck is that, anyway? But, Brent, since research obviously really isn't your thing, let me help you out with some fingerpointing:
CLIP of STEVE DOOCY ("Fox and Friends" co-host video clip): Barack Obama was raised a Muslim [Sound of buzzer going off and a big X appears on Doocy's face]
GRETCHEN CARLSON ("Fox and Friends" co-host video clip): Apparently, when he was a young boy, he attended a Muslim school, a madrassa. [Sound of buzzer going off and a big X appears on Carlson's face]
BILL SAMMON (Fox Washington bureau chief, video clip from "O'Reilly Factor"): Barack Obama's agenda towards socialism. [Sound of buzzer going off and a big X appears on Sammonn's face]
GLENN BECK (video clip): We're starting to look at fascism. [Sound of buzzer going off and a big X appears on Beck's face]
UNIDENTIFIED PUNDIT: Closer to communism [Sound of buzzer and big X]
BECK (video clip): This President has exposed himself as a guy over and over and over again as someone who has a deap-seated hatred for white people. [Sound of buzzer repeatedly going off and three big Xs appear on Beck's face]
SCHULTZ: Okay, Brentster, that's just the tip of the iceberg. We don't have all night, you know. People like Brent who live on political donations and think tank money will say just about anything. Bozell saying that you can't find any mistakes in Fox News, that they haven't done anything incorrectly, is simply -- you got it -- Psycho Talk.
For those keeping score, Glenn Beck is an opinion host, Steve Doocy and Gretchen Carlson are as well, Bill Sammon was appearing on "The O'Reilly Factor" to offer analysis and opinion.

Ed, let me clear up a couple things for ya...
October 28, 2009 - 08:54 ET by mattmMaking buzzer sounds while putting big Xs over someone's face is not an argument. You see, Ed, in order to refute someone's point, you have to actually have evidence.
Beck has the Obama quote: "typical white person," and his association with known race-mongers like Reverend White. What do you have?
A loud buzzer, a loud mouth and some big graphics doesn't cut it. In fact, it's nothing but, here it comes......psycho talk. That's you, Ed.

October 28, 2009 - 10:37 ET by motherbeltOh, come on, matt....I love it what Ed does that X-ed out!! thing with his arms....he's sooooo cool!!

Oh, wait! He's on MSNBC!! That explains it!!

October 28, 2009 - 14:20 ET by notonmywatchMore people that matter probably read what he says on NB than watch his psychosis.
So sure he's going to yank on that chain.

October 28, 2009 - 10:55 ET by Thinking.ManThis prestitutes don't have to defend anything they say, they get a pass from their whore buddies and pimp producers, they live in a debate vaccum.
It's pretty lame that "I know nothing" Schultz claimed that simple facts were lies but apparently facts for Sgt Shultz has the same effect that garlic has on vampires.
I wish he and his other prestitute buddies would go back to working the men's room off the interstate and leave commentary to the sane, but then again they probably get more traffic at MSNBC then they ever did from their stalls at the rest stop.

October 28, 2009 - 10:41 ET by Corny_McPooI agreed so wholly with your post that I used it as the "meat" of a message I sent to Ed at ed@edschultzshow.com . This is supposedly his on-air email address. I know I may as well be arguing with a wall, but this guy is shameless.

The distinction between news and opinion
October 28, 2009 - 09:13 ET by KC MulvilleConsider this: Ed Schultz was invited to Obama's press conferences. There are plenty of pictures - so we can prove it. So please, Rahm Emanuel, David Axelrod, Anita Dunn, Valerie Jarrett, and most of all, President Obama ... can any of you say with a straight face that Ed Schultz has no "perspective?" So why the hell was that jackass invited to the press conferences?
These guys create excuses out of thin air, but then instantly believe their own buls**t.
Ineptness shows in everything this administration does. They stink at managing.

Come to think, this is pretty much what Eddy boy does. Spew crap in a desperate attempt to get people to remain in his ever-diminishing audience.
Pathetically lame.

Wow. Poor Ed. It's Time for the Butterfly Nets!
October 28, 2009 - 09:57 ET by BondPlainBondDesperation and paranoia is running rampant through the halls of progressivism, liberalism, Democrat-ism.
They're so confused! Rationality and fairness are completely unknown concepts.
Don't think Ed has ever visited the MRC or NB websites. Liberals rarely know or understand who/what it is they're talking about before they publicly and loudly condemn them/it.
And, uh, Ed? The Fox & Friends were reporting on an article from a magazine. They didn't create that little gem as you've attempted to say they did. You need to get your facts straight, don't you think? Otherwise, well, you're proving yourself to be a deliberately obtuse and ignorant liar.
Ed? Can you play connect-the-dots? It's really simple. Most liberals/progressives catch on after five or six run-throughs. Connect these dots:

October 28, 2009 - 10:10 ET by robertlbryantI don't see how there is _any_ doubt that Obama is a socialist. "Spread the wealth around," "redistributive transformation," .... This is obvious. How can someone even deny it? I've started calling the Democrats the Socialist-Democrats, as that fits what they are more. I still haven't thought of what to replace the word democrat with, though...
Socialist-...
uh...
Okay, Socialists.
Now you know better than that!!!
October 28, 2009 - 10:14 ET by Willis_Leon_JohnsonThey are NOT socialists.
They are PROGRESSIVES!
My question is when are people going to start asking WHAT ARE THEY PROGRESSING TOWARDS?

October 28, 2009 - 10:55 ET by c5thenIf Shultz has been called out then that means you are doing something right and the liberals/progressives/socialists are getting scared. That means that The Shultz's and the Maddow's will be mobilized to call you names, mock you, make things up to mock you about and just flat out lie.
Just as with the FNC war at the White House, you don't go after an opponent who you percieve as impotent or of no consequence. You only attack an opponent who is actually doing some damage. The truth hurts these people and especially this administration.
We already know that MSNBC hosts have secret meetings with officials from the administration. so you can assume that this is coming directly from the Oval Office.
