Ed Schultz Slams White House As Afraid Of Fox News Posted on 7/23/2010
MSNBC's Ed Schultz slammed President Obama's White House for its handling of the Shirley Sherrod debacle at the Netroots Nation Convention.
Schultz suggested that President Obama and his team are afraid of Fox News and don't use progressive media enough.
Ed Schultz Comments Schultz said, "They must have a war room at the White House. I think they've got a sissy room too."
He said, "I didn't vote for that."
Schultz pointed to the camera and said he was glad the speech was being recorded and wanted the White House to hear his message.
Schultz said Democrats have failed to live up to their own platform passed at the Democratic Convention in 2008.
He challenged the activists and bloggers in the crowd, "If I've got the balls to say it, you better have the balls to write it. It's time we hold this party accountable."
Obama on Fox Schultz complained that Obama hasn't gone on his show or sat recently for interviews with Keith Olbermann or Rachel Maddow.
He said that during the campaign, "I busted my ass for Obama."
Schultz said that instead of going on The Ed Show, Obama went on Bret Baier's show on Fox, "in my time slot. What's that all about?"
Change Some Plays Schultz said he's "not anti-Obama" but wants to "change some plays" to help the Democrats win in November.
Schultz said when former President George W. Bush was in trouble, he talked to the base.
He said, "You know what this outfit does? They react to Fox."
Schultz said progressives should realize they are warring against a win-at-all-costs conservative media.
He said that Fox News is out to "destroy the progressive movement."
