AlterNet reports:
MSNBC announced on Thursday that "The Ed Schultz Show" would come to an end, to be replaced by a show hosted by political analyst Chuck Todd.
[...] The loss of Schultz is particularly troubling because he has managed a television program that has been more attentive to issues focused on economic inequality, labor unions, and the wider economy than perhaps any other cable television show.
In particular, he covered the Trans-Pacific Partnership more often than [all other cable programs combined], as Craig Harrington and Brian Powell, researchers with Media Matters documented:
[During an 18 month period] CNN and Fox News each mentioned the TPP during two broadcasts. MSNBC's The Ed Show discussed the trade agreement on 71 broadcasts, but the TPP was mentioned on the network's other evening programming only twice (once by host Ed Schultz during coverage of the president's State of the Union speech and a passing mention by All In host Chris Hayes).
On The Jimmy Dore Show (think: Mort Sahl or Jon Stewart) via my Pacifica Radio affiliate, Chuck Todd is mentioned often. My impression is more "political hack" than "political analyst".

Who fucking cares if someone has prejudices?
You remind me of those double-think, thought crime types that have shoehorned their beliefs on male dominated communities as of late.
