[lunamagica]

1. K&R. She is awesome!

[DURHAM D]

2. That segment should be titled -

Bernie you ain't right.

[NurseJackie]

9. Ha! :-D ... and ...

[sheshe2]

3. I do!

Hearts.

[Dem2]

4. Send hate mail too...

"It just makes me stronger"

[DemocratSinceBirth]

5. We should send her this thread!

[Dem2]

7. She deserves some positive feedback

She should know that not all the mail from DU is hate mail.

[SusanCalvin]

31. I don't hate her.

But I used to like her a lot and now I just don't.

[Dem2]

44. Biases tend to do that

She's one of the best in the business, I'm sorry that your favorite candidate is not being swooned over by Rachel.

[SusanCalvin]

47. I don't expect her to swoon.

I actually don't expect much of her at all, seeing who cuts her paycheck and controls her continued employment.

Biases tend to do that.

[Dem2]

48. Now we're going CT?

That's insane, she's the least influenced person I've seen in media for a long, long time.

[SusanCalvin]

52. I have no idea what CT means.

And will not find out tonight as I am going to bed.

I like her, and I'm sure she is uninfluenced as far as she can be, given the overweening power of our corporations.

[Duckhunter935]

50. Yep I sent email to her

It was not hate mail, just how disappointed I was in her bias and her not mentioning Bernie for his first six months of running

[Armstead]

6. I used to like her -- Now she's just a Comcast Robot

[Duckhunter935]

32. So true

Same with Joy. MHP is the one that I admire.

[SusanCalvin]

49. +1000. nt

[dchill]

56. Her continued employment is contingent on supporting HRC.

Not to mention her new career as White House Press Secretary.

[jberryhill]

8. Do you mean Rachel Maddow of The Rachel Maddow Show - a show on MSNBC with Rachel Maddow

The show - the one on MSNBC - is named after a person.

Her first name is Rachel.

Rachel is the first name of this person who is ON the show on MSNBC that's named after a person.

Okay, got that?

The show on MSNBC is named after a person named Rachel who is ON the show that's named after her.

But wait! She has a last name too. And her last name is Maddow.

So this show, which is on MSNBC and is named after a person, okay, is named after a person named Rachel Maddow.

[Dem2]

11. Yes, that's it. The one, and only, Rachel Maddow Show on MSNBC

That's indeed the correct show that you have identified, the Rachel Maddow Show on MSNBC.

[jberryhill]

13. Ah, we have a guest

So, in your opinion, how did the show get its name?

[Dem2]

17. Not sure, but the host is Rachel Maddow

THAT'S IT!! The show is named after the host, Rachel Maddow!

[jberryhill]

19. So, you are saying that this show, which is on MSNBC...

...called the Rachel Maddow Show is itself actually named after Rachel Maddow?

We'll have more on this. Watch this space.

[Blue_In_AK]

23. LOL. Perfect.

This is exactly why I stopped watching her show. I'm not an idiot, and I don't need someone to explain something to me five different ways.

[jberryhill]

25. Here's something you might not know

If you were going to have something explained to you five different ways, then there's also five different ways it can be explained to you five different ways.

I can explain it to you four ways and then one way; or I can explain it to you three ways and then two more ways; or...

[Blue_In_AK]

28. I'm SO glad I'm not the only one

who has noticed this annoying little tic. She could cut out all the repetition and shorten her show to 1/2 hour.

[northernsouthern]

30. Lol, NT.

[aikoaiko]

62. It's a device people use when they are unsure of themselves

[jberryhill]

64. My briefs read that way on first draft

But then I go back and edit.

[Duckhunter935]

36. So true, that repetition gets old

At times

[jberryhill]

43. Another thing that gets old is the repetition

Somewhere at MSNBC they have numbers showing a majority of her audience has some kind of attention or memory disorder.

[agracie]

58. What did you say her name was ?

[jazzwinders]

10. Kick and recommend!!!

[fun n serious]

12. Thank you Rachel! nt

[oasis]

14. K and R for Rachel Maddow. She does her homework.

[SusanCalvin]

33. On the issues she's allowed to cover. nt

[oasis]

53. She brought to light the water crisis in Flint and, more recently,

she reported on the elderly Dixie Republican governor who was inappropriately involved with a female associate.

I'd put her in a league with Bill Moyers.

[SusanCalvin]

54. Moyers????

Oh dear god.

[U4ikLefty]

61. In the same league as Moyers? Um, nooooooooo!

[Duckhunter935]

39. She can do excellent work

[oasis]

42. Rachel is blessed with a crack team of researchers. (eom)

[SusanCalvin]

45. On the issues she's allowed to cover. nt

[workinclasszero]

15. K&R

[Maru Kitteh]

16. K & R

[JaneyVee]

18. The real sane progressive.

[oasis]

63. With the emphasis on "sane". nt

[mcar]

20. K&R

[Land of Enchantment]

21. The Rachel Maddow who never, in all her hours on teevee never once mentioned the TPP?

Nope, I'll pass. I quit watching her sometime last summer.

[SusanCalvin]

35. Yep. Welcome to the corporatocracy. nt

[Blue_In_AK]

22. I was tired of Rachel since before the primaries.

I haven't watched her in months.

[Duckhunter935]

40. I rarely watch now

[Samantha]

24. Rachel Maddow was disingenuous about Bernie's position on a contested convention

Last edited Tue May 3, 2016, 11:50 PM - Edit history (1)

The definition of a contested convention is automatically in play when two or more candidates arrive at the convention without enough pledged delegates to win. In other words there is no presumptive nominee. So all Bernie was doing was saying yes, it will be a contested convention because he had premised that comment with the fact neither of them would have the requisite number of pledged delegates to win. She spun that into something he was attempting to do to "take" the convention when she was ahead. It was nothing of the sort.

I really have lost all respect for her. She needs to be fair when reporting on political issues, but she is not.

[bkkyosemite]

26. I thought for sure this would be in the Hillary Group

[SusanCalvin]

27. K but no R. nt

[cherokeeprogressive]

29. Rec'd. Heard she looked pretty sick tonight.

I love that.

[fluffyclouds]

34. Shocking that she has been a establishment Hacc disquised as a true leftist all these yrs.

Just needed a true leftist to run againt the establishment to bring out her true colors.

[SusanCalvin]

38. Well, you can't get very far in this day and age

Unless you are a corporatist.

[Duckhunter935]

41. Yep

[northernsouthern]

37. I think I stopped listening to her completely in 2010.

That was when she had a thing against Stewart when he called her out for polarizing.
