Rachel is on fire tonight!

Getting right to the heart of the matter. The conservative media bullying Comey is what led to the whole Clinton email bullshit. Maybe some eyes will be opened in the mainstream media. They need to use their platforms as forcefully as the Rethugs do. By sheer size alone they can help us win our democracy back.

The "colleagues" you refer to are media giants and their CEOs. Maddow and the rank-and-file were all over Trump pre-election, they did their jobs and were rounded up into pens at Trump rallies.

Painting Maddow, other commentators, and rank-and-file workers with the same brush as executives and corporate media giants who took the easy money is unfair. And since this is a Propaganda war, we should know the difference and know our history.

Corporate media (and poorly-regulated Facebook), who put Trump on TV every day, are the culprits.

about him - his dishonesty, his track record as a “business man”, his dog whistling, his heinous positions. Those are the FACTS.

Sounds like if you watched MSNBC during election 2016 at all, you watched with the sound off.
