In reply to the discussion: Rachel Maddow is a hero & patriot, & probably saved my life. [View all]AnotherMother4Peace
(5,167 posts)26. Yes, thank you for the reminder to read Blowout. And welcome to DU.
Reading some of the responses, it seems Ms. Maddow has saved a few of us. For me, she presented such an urgency back in early March about Covid. I was still going to the pool, grocery store, recently retired and about to start substituting, etc. BUT after watching her show I stopped abruptly, and that may have saved my life (and my husband's). I was not getting that information anywhere, certainly not from "dear leader".
And the fact that she publicly shared her skin cancer diagnosis. AND that she is there with her calm, serious, no nonsense, urgent, clear, information for us each night. She's a gem.

We should all develop our skills for finding things that don't make sense

And Steve Benen, one of her producers and editor of her blog. I catch his comments every day.

National Treasure. No doubt about it. Facts, not lies and bullshit like Fox and Limbaugh.

Oh what a treat! I would have tried to "mother" her: coffee? magazine? luggage carried? anything?
