I for one am so tired of that Orange 🍊 owning the deadlines.

If MSNBC proceeds to talk mostly about Republicans after the inauguration, I’m cancelling DirectTv

Thousands a day are dying for f’d sake!

Not sure what you new pizazzy take you expected her to bring to a day-old story that has been covered nonstop on her network and elsewhere for the last 24 hours with no new developments, but ok ...

Starting with the first segment about the 79 year old gal who's "not afraid of yhe covid vaccine". Went downhill from there.

occurring nationally the introductory segment is usually about topics of national interest. Not listening to an unremarkable senior citizen in New Orleans opine that she's not concerned about the Covid-19 vaccine because she "believes in science".

comments without having even seen the piece in question. The lead segment wasn't about "the pandemic as a story of national importance." Nothing about, for example, the new mutant strains of the virus that are at least 70% more infectious. No, instead it was a fluff, feel-good (to Rachel) piece about a senior in New Orleans who thinks science is swell and isn't afraid of the vaccine. An "isn't that sweet?" piece of very limited value.

I thought the woman from New Orleans was a good human interest piece; Amy Klobuchar is always interesting, and tonight she gave me a little bit of hope for a week that I'm really dreading. If I find a news show that I find boring I just turn it off. I don't feel like I have to point out to everyone that I was disappointed with it and found it watered down.
But that's just my opinion and you're certainly entitled to yours.

The opening? I'm at the halfway mark, and so far, I think her show has been very good.

Informative and interesting, the elderly lady in the opening was a good human interest piece and positive message to those who are still hesitant about taking the vaccines.

Loved how she made the connection between the immediate resignation of the North Georgia US Attorney and Killa Con's comments about him. I also loved her interview with Stacey.
I thought she covered the traitors very well with Amy Klobuchar
