Ed Schultz: Former MSNBC Host and Radio Personality Passes Away at 64
Ed Schultz has passed away.at his lake home in Minnesota.
The former MSNBC host and radio personality died from natural causes.
Schultz was 64 years old.
Schultz began his career in Fargo, broadcasting the news on both TV and radio in the 1890s.
Eventually, he began work as a commentator and host at MSNBC.
He was known for his progressive values, particularly as he championed the rights of workers.
He was a passionate defender of middle class and working class Americans, and used his show as a platform on which to espouse those values.
The Ed Show was broadcast on weekday afternoons until its cancelation in 2015.
In 2016, Ed Schultz puzzled some with his controversial choice.
After years of verbally excoriating Russian President Vladimir Putin, he went to work for the American version of RT, Russia’s state-controlled media and Putin’s personal propaganda machine.
But Schultz objected to the characterization, and explained his choice.
“RT completes the picture of the events in the U.S. and around the globe,” Schultz said. “Giving viewers access to a range of stories, voices and opinions, and a real opportunity to speak their minds.”
There are certainly plenty of arguments in favor of keeping an eye on how even hostile foreign governments are presenting the news.
Ed Schultz married his current wife, Wendy Schultz, in 1998.
Just a few years before his death, he revealed her struggle with ovarian cancer.
Wendy is the mother of Ed’s six children.
It was in seeking medical treatment for his mother during her battle with Alzheimer’s in the 1990s that his political leanings swung towards the left.
Ed has stated that he and his sons are gun owners, but that he supports certain gun control regulations.
He has stated that he does not believe in abortion because of his Christian beliefs, but he has also acknowledged that Roe v Wade is the law of the land.
Ed passed away on Thursday, July 5 of natural causes.
His death came as a shock to people who had followed his career for years or even decades, going back to when he was a sportscaster in Fargo.
Ed had friendships on both sides of the political aisle. Standing up for working Americans should not be considered partisan.
Ed Schultz will be sorely missed by his friends and loved ones.

A.J. Calloway: Host of Extra Denies Allegations of Sexual Assault
Extra host A.J. Calloway has been accused of sexual assault by Sil Lai Abrams, who is one of the dozen or so women who has come forward to accuse Russell Simmons.
In a newly published report, Abrams details her accusations against Calloway.
Now, Calloway has responded.
Sil Lai Abrams is an award-winning author and anti-domestic violence activist who has appeared across countless news networks over the course of her career.
And, in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, she accuses A.J. Calloway of having sexually assaulted her in the back of a car in 2006.
Abrams says that she met Calloway for a potential work opportunity while he was still a BET host. He was also married.
She says that, in the following weeks, he began hitting on her.
According to Abrams, her attempts to have strictly professional conversations with Calloway were met with attempts to instead discuss sex.
One night in December, Abrams recalls, Calloway exposed his genitals to her while he was driving her home after the two of them had gotten drinks.
Per Abrams’ recollection, Calloway said: “Do you see what you do to me?”
“Why don’t you do us both a favor and put that away?” Abrams suggested in response, attempting to diffuse the situation.
She says that, unfortunately, when they arrived at her house, he began kissing her and again exposed himself.
Calloway then allegedly tried to push her head into his lap.
According to Abrams, when that did not succeed, he took her hand, placed it on his penis, and used her hand to masturbate himself.
Abrams says that Calloway called her later that night and apologized.
It was only after confiding in friends that Abrams resolved to file a police report. Records show that she did just that.
As revealed by documents examinted by The Hollywood Reporter, Calloway was charged with forcible touching and attempted sexual misconduct offenses
Though NBC News had decided to not run Abrams’ story, The Hollywood Reporter did so after interviews with corroborating witnesses and after accessing and reviewing documents, text message records, and court orders.
Even so, Calloway has released a statement of his own.
In a statement from his lawyer, A.J. Calloway denies the accusations of sexual assault.
“I was disappointed to read the false allegations about me in The Hollywood Reporter,” Calloway says.
“As I have maintained from the beginning,” he continues. “These allegations are not true.”
Calloway insists: “When I was first notified about these allegations by law enforcement more than a decade ago, I fully cooperated from the beginning and the case was dismissed.”
He then takes aim at The Hollywood Reporter for not burying the story.
“THR chose to publish these meritless allegations,” Calloway’s statement reads. “Without a thorough investigation of the facts.”
Calloway concludes: “I intend to vigorously defend my reputation against these false accusations and will not let this cause further harm to my family.”
Sil Lai Abrams explains why she came forward about him and about disgraced music mogul Russell Simmons.
“I needed to tell my story,” Abrams says. “To say his name out loud, to let people know what he had done to me.”
She also says that she recorded an entire interview with Joy Reid for NBC News, but that the network decided to keep it under wraps.
“They took away my voice,” Abrams laments. “I want people to understand how incredibly challenging this is, with a story like mine that’s highly sourced, with me doing this [advocacy] work in the public arena.”
She says that she knows that sexual assault is difficult to even begin to prove, but that she has evidence to demonstrate that her claim is credible.
“If I didn’t have those things, let’s be very clear, no one would know about this today,” Abrams says. “I’m speaking out for all the other women who have been silenced, to let them know it’s not their fault.”
Our hearts of course go out to all survivors of sexual assault and sexual harassment.

Nev Schulman, Host of MTV"s Catfish, Accused of Sexual Misconduct
Yup, him too.
On Thursday afternoon, MTV announced that it has suspended production on the reality series Catfish due to troubling allegations against host Nev Schulman.
The details behind these allegations are unknown at this time, but this is what the cable network said to The Daily Beast in a statement:
“We take these allegations very seriously. We’re working with Critical Content, our third party production company, to conduct a thorough investigation.”
Schulman, who also serves as executive producer on Catfish, has been the main man in front of the camera since the program’s debut in 2012.
Now in its seventh season, Catfish centers on Schulman’s investigations into online relationships, as he tries to verify whether people are who they actually say they are on the Internet.
It is based on a 2010 documentary of the same name that was also created by Schulman.
In the film, Schulman chronicles how he fell in love with a woman he met online, but was left heartbroken upon learning all the ways in which she misrepresented herself throughout their exchanges.
On the MTV show, he and filmmaking partner Max Joseph set out to assist others who may be in a similar predicament.
The series has become so popular that the term “Catfished” is now used in any situation that involves one side of an online relationship lying about his or her identity to the other side.
(Sister Wives star Meri Brown, for example, was the victim of a catfishing in 2016.)
Schulman is 33 years old and is married to Laura Perlongo.
The couple are parents to a 17-month old girl named Cleo and co-host a web series, “We Need to Talk,” for ATTN.
“It’s basically a show about relationships,” Nev told Us Weekly last year, adding:
“What do you do when you do find it and you want to keep it? You gotta work through some sh-t.
“This is a show that’s honest and sometimes a little embarrassing, but it’s real and it’s about the things that come up when you’re a couple.”
In response to the allegations against him, Schulman has said the following to The Daily Beast:
“I have always been transparent about my life and would always take responsibility for my actions – but these claims are false.”
Over the past several months, of course, more and more women have felt empowered by what has been dubbed the #MeToo movement.
They have come out with accusations against such stars as Matt Lauer, Louis C.K., Charlie Rose and movie producer Harvey Weinstein.
It’s very possible that none of these men ever work in Hollywood again.
And while it’s too early to say for certain, it’s now possible that the same will apply for Nen Schulman.
