50. As much as I love Rachel, she STILL works for a huge Corporation,

and she takes her orders from this Corporation.
There are many stories she is forbidden to cover, and she complies,
though occasionally tip toes close to the edge.

I had to stop watching Rachel and Olberman in 2008 after the Iowa Democratic Primary.
Obama took first, but what was more stunning is that Edwards took a strong 2nd.
In reporting on the Iowa Caucus, Edwards name and stunning 2nd Place was NEVER mentioned
by either Olbermann or Rachel.

They co-ordinated in airbrushing Edwards strong 2nd place Out of the Race.
I have never before witnessed where an hour is spent on the 1st Place Winner, and the 3rd Place Miss Congeniality without ever mentioning the name of the strong 2nd Place contender.
I found it mind boggling at the time,
but thoroughly understand it now.

Even Rachel takes her orders from her Corporate Betters.
