Edward Andrew Schultz was an American television and radio host, political commentator, news anchor and sports broadcaster. Working for Russia Today, he died prematurely in 2018, age 64, at a time of immense pressure on the channel.[1]
Early life
Schultz was born in Norfolk, Virginia, the son of George Schultz, an aeronautical engineer, and Mary Schultz, an English teacher. He moved to Minnesota to play football on a scholarship from Minnesota State University Moorhead.[2] He made All-American and became the NAIA passing leader in 1977 and signed as a free agent with the Oakland Raiders.[3]
Political views
After many years of being close to the Republicans and even considering running for Congress as a Republican candidate in 1994, Schultz moved further left in the late 1990s. He cites his mother's Alzheimer's disease and his encounters with homeless war veterans as key experiences that sharpened his social awareness. Accordingly, he broke his allegiance to the Republicans and approached the Democrats. He has been a member of the Democratic Party since 2000.
Career
| TV Host Ed Schultz Dies, Clinton Critic Exposed Hillary Media Collusion |
After his football career, he worked as a sportscaster in Fargo, North Dakota, before eventually working as a commentator and host at MSNBC[4].
In 2005, Schultz expanded his range of activities significantly: in addition to his work as a sports presenter, in October 2005 he began presenting his own political radio show, which was titled The Ed Schultz Show. With over three million listeners a week, the show was the seventeenth most listened to talk radio show in the United States and was considered the most listened to left-leaning talk radio show.
He was the host of The Ed Show, a weekday news talk program on MSNBC from 2009 to 2015. Among those who came calling to his show was the senator from New York, Hillary Clinton; she sat for several interviews with him and described him as "a personal friend."[5]
In the 2016 presidential election, Schultz endorsed U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders for President of the United States[6], something he believed was related to his firing from MSNBC.[7]
I think the Clintons were connected to [NBC’s] Andy Lack, connected at the hip,” Schultz said. “I think that they didn’t want anybody in their primetime or anywhere in their lineup supporting Bernie Sanders. I think that they were in the tank for Hillary Clinton, and I think that it was managed, and 45 days later I was out at MSNBC.[7]
Schultz’s MSNBC show was canceled in 2015, and in January 2016 he joined RT America, the English-language Russian news channel. RT was forced to register as a "foreign agent" by the US Justice Department in 2017, but Schultz continue working for the channel despite immmense pressure, dismissing the label with "Let them call me what they want, I am going to speak the truth no matter what".[8]
The New York Times wrote that he died of "natural causes" on July 5, 2018.<ref><ref name=NYT>
