So many male pundits and journalists have been taking to giving Rachel Maddow advice

59. I'm saying "I'm glad she didn't listen because look at her ratings" has nothing to do with the point

of the criticism, nor does it offer justification in and of itself of Maddow's coverage.

For my part, I hope we aren't beating the drum too hard without utter confidence that there is a crime here. I hope that where there is smoke there is fire and that we can show it. Chomsky, just as one example who was recently being quoted as a voice of reason in the liberal wilderness regarding voting for Clinton, is among those who think we are making fools of ourselves.

I'm currently more in the middle. If we can damage the GOP with this, and better, if we can link Trump and his campaign directly to collusion with Russia, that is a win. Do I think Russia had any power to flip our election, particularly with fake news? No, no I do not. When somebody covers them hacking our machines...not "our elections" which is not actually talking about the machines at all, then I will absolutely change my tune.
