Reply #23: He apologized, more or less... [View All]

Here's a link from his forums to a message about this that was posted by his producer, James Holm:

Speaking of the "Ed Schultz Message Board," my membership/login was recently cancelled (I was tombstoned, IOW). It all had to do with the situation with the former AAR affiliate in Phoenix, which was bought and converted to Christian format. When it was clear that the former GM couldn't get a new deal completed to obtain another home for progressive/liberal talk in Phoenix, some of the local show hosts banded together and started a project to lease time on another station, hoping eventually to obtain a full-time, permanent situation.

Ed has problems with how they're going about it, especially with their "grass roots" efforts, in which they're accepting donations from supporters in exchange for pixel block ads on a "million pixel" website. You'll find their effort at:

Ed ridiculed and belittled their efforts, both on the air and on his Message Board, so I was one of the people who complained about that, using a membership that I had already created months ago. Here's a link:

I followed all of the rules of their board, and when I started arguing with "Holmey" (the producer mentioned above), I even checked with the board moderator to make sure I was OK (he said I was fine). However, shortly after I started receiving support from other forum denizens, the producer deleted my account and removed the discussion threads regarding the Phoenix situation. He later restored one of the threads, but not my login, and then he also deleted the login for Jeff Farias, one of our local show producers/hosts.

The message board rules state that "We want opposing opinions expressed." Well....not really.
