Disappointed with Rachel tonite.

Way too much time on Porter and little overboard with Holder as well.
So much else she could have talked about that is much more important (like the Russian intrusion into
our election system).

I missed most of the Holder interview, had to answer the phone.

But the Porter/Bannon stuff is illustrative of the kind of person the president is comfortable with, and THAT does matter. It comes as no surprise that, in his mindset, abusiveness toward women is no big deal.

51% of Americans are women. So, yes, it's concerning that he surrounds himself with fellow abusers.

... important thing going for Democrats these days. It needs lots more publicity, although it seems to be getting a lot done without it.

What would you rather have seen on Rachel? More Russia investigation?

most of the "stories" are background info which might be fun
for political academics. Get to the point!
How did Uncle Walter manage to cover the days news in just 30 minutes?

Women still have too little credibility in these matters.

She goes to a lot of trouble to avoid stories that might be seen as mostly of interest to women.
I watch Rachel but make a list in my head of what she won't report on each night that everyone else is reporting.
