I'm a Rachel Maddow fan, but I think there are way too many ads on her show. [View all]

Honestly!

And most of them are MSNBC ads.

It's super tedious! I only get one break a night and I have used it to tune in to Rachel, but not really wanting to any more.

Why do they shove so many ads at us, if it isn't even paid time?

The tin foiler on my left shoulder says it's corporate tamping down her viewership. The pragmatist on my right shoulder says, bullshit, they want ad revenue, that would make no sense.
