Ed Shultz Driving Away MSNBC Viewers Faster Than You Can Say Blowhard
Damn, I was hoping he was leaving North Dakota for good.
Initial viewership figures haven’t provided reason to cheer, at least not yet. Debuting on Monday to an average audience of 247,000 in the 25-54 demographic and 725,000 overall, by Wednesday that figure had dropped to 119,000 and 406,000, respectively.
During yesterday’s radio program, Schultz himself had this to say:
SCHULTZ (43:40): Appreciate all your emails and your support. The, ah, early numbers that have come in for ratings have not been bad, I might say. I wouldn’t say we knocked it out of the park, but we’re, we’re getting there, we’re getting there.
You’re getting their Ed. You lost about half of your audience so far. You’re getting there.
The thing is that the guy just is rotten at what he does. I listened to him a lot when he was doing UND sports before I knew he had gone to the dark side. He’s just a poor announcer. No amount of hate the Republicans rhetoric is going to overcome that in the long run, even with the barking mad moonbats.
