In trying to get his progressive talk radio show off the ground at the start, host Ed Schultz candidly admitted Wednesday to using fake callers to fill air time. In addition, Schultz admits congressional Democrats helped coach callers on what to say:

This is why they accused the right for doing this. They knew they were doing it so they thought the other side HAD to be doing it too.

If true, it would be of no surprise to me. liberal Democrats feel they must remain deceptive in order get by.

Typical hypocrisy.

Could it be possible that this is a common practice among talk radio blow hards on the LEFT and RIGHT? Open your mind to the possibility....

Ed did it. It is funny and not unusual when starting out. Big difference, Schultz admits doing it initially and points out, no longer does. Beck doesn't admit it and still does it.

The ends justifies the means?

Most jealous people are so jealous because they have those feelings,
so they expect everyone to behave that way.

Is this about the Premiere call service thing? Here is a statement from the company:

"Premiere is the syndication arm of the Rush Limbaugh program and Limbaugh used his show, in case there was any doubt, to let his audience know that none of his calls have ever been staged...Premiere On Call is not utilized by any of Premiere's nationally syndicated talent, including Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and Glenn Beck... Premiere On Call is a recently launched audio service connecting local entertainment radio stations with great voice talent to supplement their programming needs. The service is not utilized by News/Talk programs or stations."

So where exactly did you get your information?
