MSNBC’s ratings are in the dumper. Rachel Maddow just finished her lowest rated week ever. And poor Ed Schultz is now begging his radio audience to watch his TV show.
Here’s Ed groveling on his radio show the other day:
Schultz: We are trailing CNN for the month of October so we gotta get after it, Ed heads. We don’t want to lose, do we? Come on now. That’s the, the balloon boy really screwed me up. You know, it’s what happened! They cook up this balloon thing and we gotta cover it and everybody runs to CNN to the tune of three, four hundred thousand more people.
Now I gotta bust ass here to the end of the month to make sure we win this thing again! That’s what happens! That’s just the culture of it! I couldn’t find a political angle on the balloon thing, so that’s what hurt me, I guess, I don’t know.
The problem here, Ed, is that Balloon Boy coverage lasted just one day. How do you explain the rest of your miserable ratings?

Ed Shits...er...shultz gripes about Limbaugh, OReilly, Beck..anyone on the conservative side. A liberal is never going to be successful on TV or talk radio. This idiot belongs on the end of a shovel digging ditches so he can sink to his real level. How can a person with such hateful delivery expect to ever have favorable ratings?
Hey WH, Congress, Eric Holder, FCC.. How is Ed Schulz of MSNBC allowed promote, validate Voter Fraud? Take this morally corrupt Talking Head off the air. He is mocking the electorate and setting bad example for all Americans.
if ed loses his show , who is he going to yell at? you would think he knows he has a microphone and doesnt have to yell!!!
There are kids at fast food drive through lanes who speak to more people over a microphone then Special Ed & the other A-holes on BSNBC. What he says means nothing, because he is nothing, & that's what his ratings are, NOTHING.
Hummm...funny but it didn't seem to affect the ratings of the guys over at FoxNews any. Or Rush for that matter.
Guess the balloon boy story was targeting specifically you, huh Schultz? Another Right Wing Conspiracy? What a putz! Blaming his lousy rating for an entire month on a 1, maybe 2 day story. Sorry but like an old drill sergeant of mine used to say - that crap won't flush!
Take responsibility for your own ratings. Fact it, you aren't geting the ratings and are losing miserably to CNN - who's losing miserably to FoxNews.
THis is priceless. That fat, abrasive troll deserves exactly what he gets. Which is a failed radio show, a failed television show, and overall a failed life.
Liberalism the chosen philosophy of sniveling brats.
Good riddance, you fat troll!!!
I didn't realize it would be so easy to erase the ratings of a "hot air buffoon”!!! I understand there’s an opening at ShamWow & it’s a perfect gig for you Ed :-)
wouldnt it be awesome if Ed Schultz woke up with a brain tumor?
C'mon, Will, lighten up. We wouldn't wish that on anyone.
OK, maybe we'd wish it on Ahmadinejad and Hugo Chavez. And maybe Putin. And let's not forget that little whackjob in North Korea. And we should include Saddam Hussein retroactively. But Ed Schultz? No way. But it would be awesome if he woke up with a really severe hernia.
