13. Rachel always provides CONTEXT for what she's reporting. For most of us, that's helpful.

If you don't benefit from her process and style, simply don't watch her. I'm always appreciative of her manner of presentation. If anyone doesn't like it, it's important to understand that they're not required to watch her. Just change the channel. Please don't take up our time and interest in complaining. Again -- just don't watch her. It's OK. We don't want to stop you from finding information that's more helpful to you. Please let us know what the great alternative actually is. I will be appreciative of your profound insight.
