MRC President Brent Bozell Addresses Ed Schultz's Apology to Laura Ingraham on MSNBC

May 26, 2011 - 11:00am
MRC President Brent Bozell had the following reaction to MSNBC host Ed Schultz's May 25 apology to conservative radio host Laura Ingraham:

"His apology was full, unequivocal and a breath a fresh air. We wish Ed would have shown the same remorse when saying we should 'rip out' Dick Cheney's heart [1], when he called Liz Cheney "shooter's little girl," [2] or when he said Republicans enjoyed watching people with cancer die [3]. MSNBC should have demanded apologies for the litany of offenses in Ed's past."
