(45,319 posts)Rachel does not do a news show, her show does not even employ reporters, she's the best of them, but the pundit talking head shows are just not news reports although they take on some aspects of the form. The pundit shows, good or bad, do not break news, they rehash news, last time I looked MSNBC has no news show at all. Not one investigative reporter, not even a bad one or a corrupt one, just none at all. News shows do not have 'people screaming at each other'. They have reporters.
I think if people watch commentary expecting news, that is a huge mistake. I think demanding actual news programing is a great idea, instead what I hear here is 'Star Talker X needs even more hours to talk' and of course, all with a TV show also have a radio show so they can peddle airtime to make more millions. The radio shows also employ no journalists, investigate nothing, and pose as 'news' with folks who pose as 'anchors' when what they are is commentator/hosts. They have talk shows, much more like Leno and Ellen than Huntley and Brinkley.
Why is this lemonade so shitty? Because it is not lemonade, it is iced tea.
