he called out fox. that was a prompt? is that something he came up with himself? no, it was actually one of the questions that i asked was it was inspiring to a lot of people. i asked if he felt like four years later the environment in washington seems more nasty than ever had he been able to usher that in, and one of the two reasons that he felt like it had been a challenge was of the media. i think the larger point that he was trying to make was that the media is becoming increasingly skewed over the past few years. we toned listen to the people we agree with, rather than the people that we disagree with, which makes it more difficult to find common ground in a place like washington.
i have an an means list. it s mean people, rude waiters, guys named seth. and bartenders who don t get awe drink on time. and the guy who took my banana seat off my shah win in 7th grade. it may not have been a guy that took that. am i missing something here or y all know politics, right? these guys are the chief fund-raisers, chief supporters of the tea party. they do 20 or 30 some right wing groups against obama. they spend money against obama. do you think putting them in an ad is a smart thing to do? sure. really? that s going to i m going to beat dana makes a fantastic point. bush wouldn t have done it. obama has he s so thin skinned. not only does he call out enemy, koch brother, et cetera, he calls out fox. he calls out other right wing groups that don t agree with his agenda. why don t you call soros? i m not president!

embarrassed the boss. so is fox right in suggesting that somehow they didn t know what hannity was doing, they were taken advantage of by the tea party? and if the tea party and its members realize fox will lie about them, might it just might that little spark jump from one synapse to another and turns out fox will lie about anyone that would be clear to even people in tea parties? look. i think we both know it s absurd to think that fox really believes that they were lied to by the tea party organizers. because, as i ve said before, they ve been so deeply in bed with the tea party group since the very, very beginning. but i do think there is an opportunity here for well-meaning individual who s have been wrapped up in the tea party movement and the tea party protests to really look at this and step back and see that, you know, it s actually fox that s the enemy. it s fox that will throw their friends under the bus, that will lie, because we know this is what they do.
every minute? i want to switch subjects if i can, mr. greenwald, because you put together the documentary out-fox out-foxed. what do you make of this most recent volley between limbaugh and the president? i think it s consistent with the whole approach which is smear, attack, name call and sadly, ed, there is literally no truth anymore in what limbaugh is doing, if there ever was, i should paraphrase that. we need to keep be very aggressive about it because what fox does, what limbaugh does is we talked about this the last week. they repeat over and over the same distortions. mr. greenwald, good to have you with us tonight. thanks so much. tonight in our text survey i asked, who do you believe is trying to make the country a better place? 85% of you said president obama. 15% said rush limbaugh. that s the ed show. i m ed schultz. for more information on the ed show, go to ed.msnbc.com or check out my radio website at
