Alexandria, VA - Media Research Center President L. Brent Bozell, III today responded incredulously to reports that NBC's sister network MSNBC is in negotiations with liberal talk radio host Ed Schultz to add him as their newest host. Schultz is not only hopelessly liberal, he has a long history of obnoxious on-air comments and behavior. Just this past Friday, Schultz called Republican Senator Jon Kyl a "spineless scumbag" for daring to criticize President Obama's joke about how his bowling was so bad it was "like Special Olympics or something." On March 2 nd he likened a speech given by talk... continue reading
