Why do so many "love" Rachel Maddow?

43. Hard agree!

I always learn so much from her intros. Yes, not all of them are equally riveting, but there are always nuggets of information that are worth the listen.

Saying reporters should get right to the point is all well and good, but Rachel is not just a reporter. She's there to help us make sense of the news by explaining things at a deeper level, and she does a great job of that.

Maybe it's a matter of personal taste. If "get right to the point" reporting is what someone really wants, then she's likely not the best source for that. For those of us who enjoy peeling back the layers and taking a deep dive into not just the who, what, and when of a story, but the how and why, she's the best.

I am absolutely crazy about her myself, but I realize others may have different preferences. That's fine. Enjoy whatever it is you enjoy. Different strokes and all that.
