An unbylined March 29 NewsBusters post finds the most newsworthy aspect of a recent Ed Schultz radio segment to be that he kinda-sorta portrayed Media Research Center chief Brent Bozell as a “pig” for leading a campaign to get him fired from MSNBC, taking this as evidence that “we’re getting to him it seems.”
Unremarked upon, meanwhile, was another thing Schultz said: “[Bozell] wants Phil Griffin fired. I mean, Comcast, they’re calling Comcast board members at home. That’s the rumor that I’m hearing. I haven’t confirmed it but that’s what I’m hearing.”
Is that true? Seems a bit stalker-y if it is. Then again, given MRC official Tim Graham’s seeming acquiescence to belligerent and distasteful tactics as long as the goal is worthy enough, this might actually be happening.
The MRC might want to explain exactly what it’s doing to force Comcast, which now owns the majority of NBC, to fire Schultz and Al Sharpton.
