Ed Schultz has no journalistic integrity

Ok, I get the fact he is part of MSNBC's liberal agenda but still he is apart of the media.

Today I saw this on twitter

It's a picture of him yucking it up and hugging Hilary Clinton, his entire TL is full of him showing how he's buddy buddy with all these politicians.

Too me this a complete disregard for journalistic integrity, it would be one thing to do it behind closed doors, but to openly flaunt it? Why should anyone ever take any position he has seriously ever again when they see him hamming it up like this? It just hurts his own credibility when he criticizes republicans or anyone else.

As I said i get he is basically a liberal mouthpiece, but still it's the principal and lack of regard for journalistic ethics that bothers me

Maybe but you don't think Sean Hannity, And Rush Limbaugh wouldn't hump the leg of Jeb Bush if they got the chance?

It's all gone, and the sad part is this is who is teaching the next generations journalists. It'll just keep getting worse over the coming years. I fond that most people don't really read or watch the news anymore or they have to watch 8 to 10 different streams of news to try and get anywhere near a neutral story.

It's not just the money, another reason they report like they do now is cause it's faster and easier. It's just a bunch of copy and paste bull. Very little time is spent now finding out what happened be for moving on to the next item to cover.

there are lots of great independent writers/journalists out there who do take it upon themselves to be excellent reporters.....they just are few and far between in MSM

I despise this man, but admire his overt, honest bias, at least he doesn't try to hide behind a cloak of "fair and balanced" journalism.

I definitely wasn't a fan when I first heard him.

But I've grown to like him because of how you described him. He's very direct and not particularly PC.

I listen to talk radio and used to watch FOX news ---- so I do look for different viewpoints.
