He had Micheal Steel and Shrum on the same time I finally turned the channel momentarily because of the bickering .Hes the only one on MSNBC that gives rethugs equal time.Al Sharpton used to do it when he first started his show but very rarely has rethugs on now Rachel doesn't have them on at the same time and Lawrence O'Donnald doesn't have them on either

(25,053 posts)The fact that Ed can still get Michael Steele, still making money from Republicans,
is a good thing. Seeing the clear contrasts makes more of an impact.
Don't be afraid of the dark. Turn on the light.
Best to know about the "enemy" instead of pretending they don't exist. JMO.

Oh, look... Ralph Reed... *dives for remote*
Anyway, I don't think it does his show a disservice. Ed and his viewers are lock solid for Obama and no pundit-spin or talking point is going to change that.

(10,602 posts)is all about the equal time push when you have progressive shows. When conservatives are on there are no progressives unless they are outnumbered. I have met Ed in the past and I do not believe he really does it voluntarily. The message I get is that the shirts tend to feign progressive support when they aren't supportive.
Ed had expressed in the past that he did not want them on his show because they had enough media. So you wonder. The hosts do not always call the shots.
