In Rare Glimmer of Sanity, MSNBC Shelves Ed Schultz’s Aptly Named ‘Psycho Talk’
Not to worry, Ed Schultz told his radio listeners on Jan. 11 — the bellicose “Psycho Talk” segment of his MSNBC program would remain on the show. Here's a clip of Schultz claiming that in the wake of the Tucson shooting, with liberals blaming an amorphous “climate of hate” for triggering the bloodshed, “Psycho Talk” would endure ( audio ) — Let me just start it right out today, I am not toning it down. Because according to the conservatives, what Sarah Palin did and what Michele Bachmann says, that didn't have anything to do with what happened on Saturday, right? You know, this may be the biggest lie that Fox News has ever told. Roger Ailes says the network will tone down fiery rhetoric. And they defend Sarah Palin. Sarah Palin's now the victim, did you know that? Well, isn't her silence deafening? Why is Sarah Palin so silent? Is she feeling guilty these days? Why is it that she kept those crosshairs up there for months on end until the shooting? No guilt there at all, is there? Folks, let me tell you something, I'm making this announcement right away. We are not changing “The Ed Show” on MSNBC. As long as they open their mouths over there on the right, we will continue to have the segment called “Psycho Talk,” because that's exactly what it is. And as soon as they say that they're not going to vote to repeal health care, then I'll make some changes.
