"MSNBC has suspended Ed Schultz, host of the “The Ed Show,” for one week without pay for calling conservative talk show host Laura Ingraham a ‘right-wing slut’ on his syndicated radio program Tuesday.

“Remarks of this nature are unacceptable and will not be tolerated,” MSNBC said in a statement. "

Why does anyone still watch TV or listen to radio? Anyyone with a clue gave up on commercial radio/TV years ago, now it just the geezers and idiots left.

Maybe Ed's ratings are down and he needed some press.

'There is no such thing as bad publicity." .....Bela Lugosi.

Could be, this is all just professional wrestling for politics; I've never even heard of this guy, I think her name sounds familiar.

Schultz is frequently over the top. Laura Ingraham is as obnoxious as the day is long but that sort of speech does not gain one any points.

Cable commentary shows are to news, what professional wrestling is to sport.

true, but his comments were sucky...

....MSNBC is a joke and inconsequential to anything that is relevant. No journalists, no real world opinions, one sided, just plain crap and waste of viewing time!

Wasn't Ingraham an MSNBC commentator initially?

So what? "Sucky" comments? Check this out: Send in the clowns

As far as I am concerned, you could use some serious adjustment on your ruler.

That's what I thought, it's about your standards, which obviously derive from a solid set of personal issues.

I am well aware of the fact, that there are millions throughout this country who claim to tell the truth, yet expel nothing more than bad breath.

No, you didn't spew out your insult on international radio with your name and face attached to it (you wouldn't dare anyways)
Nevertheless, you posted on a public forum prefixed with "www". If you know what I mean.

Your ruler is so upside down, I seriously have to assume, you don't know what you are doing. Luckily, that's not my problem.

You make yourself very well known by what you are posting. Try a mirror some time. There is no mystery in your posts.
