I just had to turn off Big Ed on radio

[bigdarryl]

I'm sick of him talking about this damn pipe line trying to justify his position on it supporting it

[Peregrine Took]

1. Agreed. I used to love him now I never listen - radio or tv.

There is a LOT more to being a "lib'rul" than supporting worker's rights, Ed.

Its a whole life view and you don't get to pick and choose your issues. If you are a progressive you support the environmental movement along with supporting worker's - its all the same.

6. Isn't THAT the biggest part of it?

He also fishes...oooooh he eats meat too!

[senseandsensibility]

2. Yesterday I his TV show I heard one of guests

say something like, so you're open to changing your mind about the pipeline? And he said he was. So that's something, I guess.

3. I wonder if that had something to do with his prime spot in the MSNBC line up?

Poor Tweety seemed so put out at being moved.

[VanillaRhapsody]

4. His spot is not called Prime....that would be Chris's spot starting Prime Time...

followed by Rachel.

at least Ed allows people who disagree with him on the air....that's much more respect than any Rightwing Talk Show Host would give.

5. His stand on TPP & Unions is admirable. On Keystone, not so much.... /nt

[GoneFishin]

7. Me too.

[prairierose]

8. Yes, I stopped watching and listening to him when..

he started supporting KXL. I think his thing stems from that train exploding in ND. That was how he found out they are shipping oil and tar sands by train. But that is no excuse for supporting anything about the tar sands. They are a blight on the planet.

9. We'll hear those same justifications from the administration when it's approved.

[bluestateguy]

10. Probably influenced by the North Dakota oil boom

and powerful North Dakota oil interests.

[Iggo]

11. Ray-dee-oh.

That word sounds familiar.

[fredamae]

12. I am leaning toward

him changing his position...he's going to the source and will be interviewing the Most important "experts"--the people who live/work there--who have also been affected already---not to mention what could be coming should it get the "go ahead"...

I vehemently disagree with Ed on this--and frankly was quite surprised at his support of it---but I Do appreciate he's letting All sides of this issue have their say.
Friday's show will be aired from location....I'm watching. I want to hear whats going on "on the ground"...

[rhett o rick]

13. I turned him off a long time ago. nm

[DefenseLawyer]

14. He's still just about the only place you'll hear an interview with the head of a union

or a discussion about the TPP, free trade and outsourcing. I guess if your only issue is the pipeline then he can be dead to you. I will choose to disagree with him on that issue and continue to appreciate that he talks about labor.
