Ed Schultz, the North Dakota radio personality touted as the liberal Rush Limbaugh, scores some good press from the local newspaper in Norfolk, Virginia, where Schultz attended high school. The piece is headlined "Ed Schultz -- A progressive voice from Norfolk to America's Heartland." Excerpt:
Lisa Sinclair, general manager of local talk radio mainstay WNIS, said Schultz’s show probably would not be picked up by her station.“We have not had great success with liberal hosts in the past,” she said. It can be heard locally on satellite radio providers XM (Channel 166) and Sirius (Channel 143), from 3 to 6 p.m. weekdays.
In the last week, the show has been picked up by stations in Chapel Hill, N.C., Gates City, Va., Huntington, W.Va., and Salt Lake City.
Two of the first guests on his show, after he was signed to The Jones Radio Network, were Democratic senators Tom Daschle and Hillary Clinton.
“They are probably the two most vilified people on conservative talk radio in America,” Schultz said. “This program, from time to time, is going to give those folks an opportunity to fight back.” It’s lofty company for the red-headed boy who grew up in Norfolk’s Larchmont section.
How wonderful it must be for those poor defenseless liberals to finally have an opportunity to "fight back." I guess there's simply no opportunities for liberals to fight back through media like NPR, the New York Times, CNN, and network television.
