1. He turned

He works for RT (Russia Today) America now.

2. His show is on the RT.com network

Google it, and see who is on it

4. So that also explains

Oliver Stone's reasons for saying the same thing.

3. ...

5. Many of us remember

Ed as a Right Wing blather mouth years ago. He used to be on a AM Radio Network in Western Minnesota and hammered mercilessly on the DFL Party and Clinton. Eddie works for the Dollars my friends and who ever cuts his pay checks. Nice Guy in person,but what a back stabber.

6. he followed the money to RT

7. Thom Hartmann lost me too when he went to RT

[get the red out]

10. Me too!

Doesn't think Trump has any links to Russia.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

8. I sometimes wonder about Russian kompromat on various media figures.

For example, you have Robert Parry, who was an award winning investigative reporter on Iran Contra back in the 1980s, but now spends almost all of his time shilling for the Russian government.

They take the Russian media money and all of a sudden they've turned. It's crazy.

9. Right Wing, Left Wing, Russian Wing.

Interesting career.

11. Straight cash homie

12. Wow

Seems he's had a traumatic brain injury or a stroke.

[herding cats]

13. Wow. He's supporting Trump's line of attack on CNN.

Trump came out and took it to them in the intelligence community, fake news and Russia?! Oh, and we're supposed to blindly believe Tump has no dealings with Russia, because Trump says so, and we all know Trump doesn't lie.

That's even more asine than what they're selling over at FOX News.

14. Money. Russia pays well.

Just about any AM talker will say anything if you pay them enough. There may be a few exceptions. Not many.

15. Here's a link to his show working for the russian commies

He's working for the russian commies now !!

18. Call them "New Russians," which is a derogatory term for Post-Soviet thugs rising to power.

.


After the Soviet Union fell, New Russians formed to fill the void. Russia is no longer Communist, it's a Keptocracy.

They are the kleptocracy who makes money by dubious means.

They absolutely hate that term.

Trumpsters are siding with foreign actors, for the purpose of acquiring wealth and power using shady tactics.

Pretty much using organized mob-like tactics to get their way.

16. He's a mercenary pundit.

Will take whatever side pays him to talk. Don't believe a word those types say.

Cenk Uygur is another I don't trust. He was a Young Republican up until the Clinton Impeachment trials, which he said convinced him to change parties. Yet since then he's continued bashing the Clintons and Dems even more liberal -- but from the Left, so it's OK.

David Brock of Media Matters is another whose conversion story from R to D is less than convincing.

Transitioning somewhat in the other direction, Abbie Huntsman is a GOPer who seemed rather sensible and moderate when she was on MSNBC, but now on FOX News, she a Trump-loving Tea Party troll.

All a bunch of talking heads for hire.

17. Brilliant description. Thank you! Perfect!

19. I never thought he stopped being a Republican.

Never watched his show when it was on MSRNC either after a few episodes.
