In reply to the discussion: Maddow scorches Koch brothers on ‘correction’ demand: ‘I don’t play requests’ [View all]florida08

People get fired over it. Martin Bashir is one example because of the idiot Palin and her racist comparison to slavery. The rw raised hell about DD Robertson ignoramus getting shunned by A&E when he stupidly said that blacks were happy under Jim Crow insanity. He will return of course and be bigger than ever. Robertson has a degree. Too bad he never used it.
I think Rachel is the last one left that has withstood the tide. But this propaganda works even in the face of truth because though real reporting is suppose to be protected by the first amendment, mostly it's not. It's protected by dollars. She won't go down easy and neither will her fans.

Point taken. I was focused on the morning show morons, Bill O, and the like when I was asking.

If it wasn't for Rachel, we wouldn't even know about the Koch Bros, or Citizens United, etc. etc.
