Insufferable airhorn
Ed Schultz, formerly of MSNBC, has
landed a peach of a job with Russia Today
as a mouthpiece for the Kremlin-backed television organization.
Of his new job
Schultz said, "I am
very happy to cooperate with RT. This
television organization has firmly outlined its position in American media,
representing the interests of different corporations. RT is not afraid to acquaint the
audience with an alternative point of view, new voices and fresh story, even if
it is not to the liking of some members of the mainstream. The news
channel that talks with such persistence to the problems of ordinary Americans
is perfectly suited for my program. "
"For the launch
of the TV channel RT America, we knew
that the only way to conquer the American audience was to be different, to
cover stories that ignore the mainstream. And this approach is fully
justified,” said chief editor of RT
Margarita Simonyan. “That is why stars of American journalism like Ed
Schultz join the team RT.”
How hard can it be to
become a Russian bullshit artist after spending all those years being a liberal
apologist? Just don’t eff up Eddie. I hear Siberia can be a little chilly.
