Ed Schultz Fails Miserably in Quest to 'Kick Fox's Ass' by Midterms

On August 27, Ed Schultz told his radio audience he was within striking distance of overcoming Fox New's "Special Report with Bret Baier" in the 6PM cable news ratings.

Schultz challenged his sycophant devotees to help him accomplish this goal by the midterm elections (video follows with commentary):

Now that the midterms have come and gone, Dan Andros has published the results of Schultz's challenge:

Using Ed ratings math it’s a 13,522,000 ass kicking (in demo). Baier wins by +229 per night. And if you look at the month to month, it’s getting worse by the minute for Ed (Aug = Baier +186, Sep = Baier +187, Oct = Baier +253, Nov = Baier +327). Wow – Baier is beating Ed by 327,000 people in demo per night? Ouch.

And just for fun, let’s use a little Ed mathematics for one more stat – total audience (as opposed to the in Demo rating). Since Ed is all the rage with da youth, perhaps he fared a little better.

Nope, he still lost. But only by 84,755,000 people. Ed only needs to convince 28% of the entire United States of America in order to draw even with Baier. Isn’t Ed math fun?

Indeed it is.

Readers are encouraged to review Andros's entire piece - it's a hoot!

The only big boy is FOX.  The rest of you are just the minor leagues.

Special Ed's Radio show isn't even broadcasted in his home town of Fargo,N.D.They know something all of us already know. The closest station to carry it is in podunk Rugby,N.D. two hundred miles away and used as a filler for the afternoon.

The guy in the bar

Submitted by KC Mulville on Fri, 11/19/2010 - 1:56am.

Ever walk into a bar, and see some obnoxious jerk trying to be the center of attention? Pretty soon, the pattern plays out. If you don't pay attention to him, first he turns sarcastic, then he turns surly. Yeah, we've all come across bars like that, and guys like him. The smart move is to leave early and find a different bar.

Ed Schultz. Time for a different bar.

You missed one stage, KC...

the one where he starts lunging and shouting "let me at him!!" while holding back just enough so that his buddies can grab him and pull him away.

Turns around and shakes it off..."lucky for YOU!  I woulda kicked your a$$!"

Noel, I don't have the

Submitted by SonnyPalermo on Fri, 11/19/2010 - 3:54pm.

Noel,

I don't have the resources you guys have, but I'm telling you there is a clip from his TV show where Schultzie, in a tirade (what else?) screeches:

"You give me one year and I will kick Glenn Beck's ass in the ratings."

That's verbatim.

I have tried to find it, but so far  am unable to do so (I even e-mailed Ed for it - no reply; gee, who have figured!)  It took place in the opening weeks of his show.  It would make a great accompaniment to a piece showing the current ratings disparity.

Disagree with a conservative and they will say you're wrong.  Disagree with a liberal and they'll hate you. And try to destroy you.
