Comcast Overlords Ax "Psycho Talk"!

MSNBC has shelved Ed Schultz' "Psycho Talk" segment, Schultz announced on his radio show Thursday.

The segment, a sort of cousin to Keith Olbermann's "Worst Persons In The World," features Schultz highlighting a statement or action he dubs "psycho talk" every night on his show. But a listener emailed in to Schult'z show and said that the segment seemed to have disappeared since Schultz' switch to 10 P.M. from his previous 6 P.M. slot. (Schultz' move was part of MSNBC's reshuffle in the wake of Olbermann's departure from the network.)

Schultz said that he missed the segment, but that "I work for somebody. I don't call all the shots."

He said that "the decision has been made that Psycho Talk' was better at six o'clock and not at 10 o'clock. Now look, there's probably people in positions that are a helluva lot smarter than I am and have decided that that's what the way it's going to be. So, that's what's happening."

1. LOL
There is a joke in Psycho talk. Voices telling people what to do, that people think are their mother when they are not, although no need to be mean.


I have decided that someone will pay the beer and travel money that is due to me, although not saying I am smarter or dumber, shrug how would I know.



As far as calling the shots, Hit it Britney!

'Show' type of girl, possible 3rd defense, although each can think and decide if that be the case.

3. So the powers that be clamp down on slightly extreme negative talk about Republicans,
Edited on Sun Jan-30-11 02:41 PM by wisteria
but the same powers that be allow Limbaugh, Hannity, Beck and a slew of others on local radio stations to continue to call Democrats what ever the hell they want too and misrepresent their ideals and motives.
It is a damn shame what has happened to MSNBC. I tune in very infreguently now. I get what is going on.
