Originally Posted By ecdc Ed Schultz is the one bad apple at MSNBC. How is his blind outrage any better than Glenn Beck's? Schultz is factually correct more often than not, unlike Beck, but his message is lost in his irate rantings. Lawrence O'Donnell and Rachel Maddow offer some good left-leaning reporting; Chris Matthews is talking heads analyzing politics. Schultz is the odd-man out.

I really don't need the kind of outrage that mirrors the right-wing outrage shows where (in Schultz' case) things that don't warrant it (some congressman says something stupid, or something) get the same outrage as things that actually do warrant it (Bush admin flunkies still justifying torture, say). It's just all outrage all the time, and it's exhausting. O'Donnell is hit or miss for me, and I love me some calm-and-highly-intelligent Rachel, but when she's over and Ed comes on, it's time to reach for the remote.

As Churchill said, if your not a liberal at 18 you have no heart, if your not a conservative at 40 you have no brain. And alot if anger comes out at people who disagree with a liberal because there is not a thought process going on, it's all emotions.
Originally Posted By Princessjenn5795 The sad thing is that a Ed actually makes some really good points but they get lost in all of his shouting. If he calmed down I think a lot of the people that like Lawrence O'Donnell and Rachel Maddow, like me, would actually be more willing to listen to him.

A little Guy Fieri, some Bobby Flay, some Giada DeLaurentis(funny I never know what she cooks)it's made me much happier. Or watch people build a deck or renovate a bathroom. I don't even make it up to the news channels or even better watch the news on Univision. At least you get to look at good looking women(or men)
Originally Posted By skinnerbox <<Or watch people build a deck or renovate a bathroom.>> It depends on who it is, DD. I enjoyed watching Norm and Steve, many years ago. Didn't Steve leave This Old House to do something with eco-housing on Planet Green or HGTV? I haven't seen that in years, so I don't know how long that lasted. Guy Fieri is great, but I always get the munchies while watching "Triple D." Not good if you're trying to watch the calorie intake! hahaha

Originally Posted By DDMAN26 Yeah I haven't seen Norm and Steve in quite some time. Holmes on Holmes is another good one.

It sure looks good sometimes, but I need to turn away, so I'm not tempted...

Pregnant women and the Food Network are a dangerous combo...I would have so many cravings in a day, and I kept calling my now ex-husband to pick stuff up for me that he put me on a ten item a day limit
