David Shuster guest hosted The Jim Bohannon syndicated radio show
yesterday. It was a return to the airwaves for DC-based Shuster whose
MSNBC contract ran out earlier this month. He’d been suspended
indefinitely last April for trying out for a job at a rival network.

“I have nothing but good feelings toward MSNBC in the 8 and a half
years that I was there,” Shuster said on the show. “I was looking
around, and we had a disagreement about what happened. And MSNBC
decided ‘you’re contract says that we don’t have to put you on the
air.’ And the fact of the matter is they did not have to put me on the
air.”

Shuster talked about the perks of not working full-time for most of the
year — such as charity work, being with his family, and getting to look
at the media from an outsider’s perspective.

When asked by a caller about his feelings toward Fox News, where
Shuster worked for 6 years, he said, “A very wise man once told me: I
should never talk about Fox after having worked there. Just because, no
good could come out of saying what I really feel.” He then mentioned
the study that implies that Fox News viewers are misinformed. “There
are some terrific journalists at Fox News Channel. I think Shep Smith
is probably the premiere anchor/journalist of my generation. He’s
terrific, and he does the news straight and let the chips fall where
they may.”

“MSNBC will never be as liberal as Fox is conservative,” said Shuster
to another caller. When the discussion turned to Glenn Beck, Shuster
said the Fox News host has “every right to broadcast what he wants, but
the rest of society also has a right to say when he’s wrong.”

So, where is Shuster going in 2011?

Although the former MSNBC correspondent misses his “life-long friends”
at MSNBC, he hints at where he is going in 2011 with statements like
“far more people get their news — or will go to news sites online than
will actually have access to cable news.”

Earlier this week Shuster told Yahoo’s Michael Calderone,”I accepted
full-time job in journalism starting after the first of the year,”
without going into detail.

Olbermann wanted to save this loser, he could not.
Rachel wanted to save this loser, she could not.

I won't be surprise if this loser is a sub on "The Ed Show".
