America loves a winner!

Better to kick FOX's ass , you see .

If only he hadn't started that war-on-women, and get all those to boycott his show... Oh, wait, that wasn't him, was it?

Ha!

MSNBC knocks Ed Schultz from prime time

Schultz announced to viewers that he’d be taking his act to the weekend — he’s no longer going to be holding down the pivotal 8 p.m. slot opposite Fox News’s Bill O’Reilly and CNN’s Anderson Cooper. In one of the more unconvincing Schultz proclamations, the host said:

- I will be leaving this time slot at 8:00 p.m. Eastern and moving to Saturday and Sunday from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. I want you to know that I raised my hand for this assignment for a number of personal and professional reasons. My fight on THE ED SHOW has been for the workers and the middle class in this country.
This new time slot will give me the opportunity to produce and focus on stories that I care about and I know that are terribly important to American families and American workers. I am very proud of the work our team has done here at 8:00. But I have to tell you, sitting behind this desk five nights a week just doesn’t cut it for me.
I want to get out with the people like I did in Wisconsin. I want to get out and tell their stories all over the country. This show has been a show that has been a voice for the voiceless. That really was my mission when I came here to MSNBC, and it remains.
I’m going to be here at MSNBC for a long time. I’m not going anywhere. And I invite all of you to join me on Saturday and Sunday from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. And this show is going to start in April. I will continue to do my radio show. In fact, my goal is to do the radio show until the good lord takes me. That’s how much I love radio.

No one with the ego and the bombast and the blowhardiness of an Ed Schultz raises his hand to move from prime time to the weekend dinner hour. Such a scenario grinds against everything we know about Ed Schultz. Reading through his book “Killer Politics” — not to mention this Columbia Journalism Review profile – yields the portrait of a guy who worked long hours to clear his way into the big time.

The announcement of Schultz’s new and far less prestigious perch is a story that he himself suppressed months ago. The New York Times’s Brian Stelter reported in November that there was a “possibility” that MSNBC would replace Schultz with The Post’s Ezra Klein. And Schultz went ballistic, as Politico reported:
