dailycaller - MSNBC host Ed Schultz announced Thursday on his radio show that his “Psycho Talk” segment had been discontinued by MSNBC executives.
“I work for somebody,” said Schultz. “I don’t call all the shots.”
Following the abrupt departure of Keith Olbermann from the network, Schultz’s show on MSNBC was moved from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m.
“There’s probably people in positions that are a helluva lot smarter than I am and have decided that that’s what the way it’s going to be,” Schultz said in an uncharacteristically servile response to the decision.
On January 11, following the Tucson shooting, Schultz said that he had not intention of discontinuing the segment. “As long as they open their mouths over there on the right, we will continue to have the segment called ‘Psycho Talk,’” said Schultz.
Schultz has been on thin ice with network executives before. According to the New York Post, NBC News President Steve Capus and MSNBC President Phil Griffin threatened to fire Schultz in August following a newsroom rant in a fury over a lack of promotion for his show.
Blog author's comments - Schultz must be on the short list for a pink slip. Comcast doesn’t want to keep putting money into losers. I have never watched this show except for occasional on-line clips.
First it was Olbermann next it will be Schultz. Eventually they will get to Chris Matthews who has the lowest rated show on MSNBC.
This entire group at MSNBC is in the tank for Obama. Their focus is to do the best they can to clear the way for Obama's reelection in 2012, and to do this they try to take out anyone on the right who may be a threat to this goal.
Like most liberals they never debate or discuss but only call people names or scream at them. When they take Schultz off the air, Al Sharpton and many liberal politicians will never get any air time.
Now that GE has sold the network to Comcast the new owner just might want to make a profit or at least break even so they have started to clean house.
