Is Ed (Show) just another Coal Apologist?

He seems to be all defending big coal tonight...what will we do with the coal industry? Those poor coal workers! Yeah, solar and wind are cheaper in the long run, but Ed and his guests are all about "reliability and affordability," and don't seem to care about anything else.

I'm kind of done with Ed.

rabidly defending Keystone XL for days. Making all the right wing arguments. That's when I stopped watching.

Based on what I read here, he got a lot of negative backlash and his ratings plunged so he did a complete 180 and started railing against the pipeline. Lol, that told me all I need to know about him.

I think he'll say whatever he thinks more people want him to say.

I see that he's wrapped his radio show. I was not a fan and am glad he's going off the air.
