20. In all honesty, I don't see the show as "liberal".

Sure, she chooses the day's topic, and that may be something that spotlights republican shenanigans, but she seldom spins to a far left bias, and she always greets the few righties that visit with great respect, never interrupting until they've made their point. Last month I saw her give Josh Mandel's website out on air in fairness because Sherrod Brown stated his own.

I love how she starts the show out about something abstract and leaves the viewer wondering where she's going with that. Perhaps she'll begin by speaking about cantaloupes in Brazil, but before you know it we're listening intently to a story about the filibuster. I can't believe they have time to write and put that kind of show together on time every day. Obviously, she's a workaholic and demands the same from her staff.

Maddow has often said she's a liberal in a sense that channels the spirit of Ike Eisenhower.
