Rachel Maddow It's good to have you back.

[Snotcicles]

I have been critical of her this past year. I had even quit my cable subscription.
I must say, last nights Rachel Maddow show has to be one of her best. It's nice to see her doing the job all news persons should be doing. I hope she continues to preform to the ethical standards she did last night.

1. Yes, but she doesn't have a big enough audience to get it the traction it would need...

to really gain national attention. Everyone else seems to be treating it as a sidebar, at best. It's going to take something much more explosive and public - like from PBO directly from the Oval - to shake anything up.

10. You are correct. He has been to timid on a lot of things IMO

I still love him but there is to much at risk now. He needs to go out in a blaze of glory.

2. The gigs against her here lately leave me puzzled. I never saw her being antagonistic to Dems

and especially not to Hillary. I don't see her daily or regularly, but this campaign a bit more than before. From the beginning of her run I have been critical on stylistic grounds, the gory-detail by gory-detail introductions before, as one DUer said "30 minutes before she makes a point," but nothing on ideological grounds. I was the same with Keith's delivery, back when both he and Rachel were being idolized here.

I'm interested, if anybody wants to provide a bill of particulars.

3. She says one thing that they don't agree with and the throw the baby out with the

bath water..immediately.

5. I did.

She spent almost 15 minutes jawing about Bill Clinton at the Democratic Convention, and it wasn't flattering. I don't EVER recall hearing her use the same kind of incendiary language towards Republicans. She may poke fun at them, but she's never rude or nasty with THEM.

6. People would disagree with an occasional segment she did...

...and she became dead to them.

She's been the same since I listened to her on radio, still the best there is.

7. I would say Joy Reid has overtaken her. Reid never spent months gushing over Trump . . .

as Maddow did early during the campaign.

8. "gushing over Trump"

I watch her religiously, so that anecdotal statement won't fly here.

9. Maybe won't fly with you but was much discussed here

When MSNBC cleaned house of all their daytime liberal commentators, the whole network featured Trump 24/7.

I can't understand how you missed the many threads discussing it. Maybe she wanted to keep her job but she certainly went along with the apparent network directive to feature stories on Trump.

13. I don't need the internet to form an opinion

In fact, the internet (including DU) exaggerates differences and disagreements.

[Snotcicles]

12. I don't know, I go back to AAR with her. Since her MSNBC move she seemed

to fluctuate on there command. I would notice after she would take those breaks. It might just be my perception of things.

[realmirage]

4. an explanation would be helpful

[spanone]

11. good to see you too Snotcicles!

[Snotcicles]

14. Same here. I never left. nt
