Besides doing photo-ops with the US military in the ME with a totally embedded crew, and so on, she hasn't done anything.
I don't watch MSNBC at all.

wtf happened after Air America, that put her fire out?

Whatever, for a long time I haven't looked to the MSM for anything other than the voice of my political enemies. From front to back, through the full gamut of their phony "left/right" spectrum, the US MSM is 100% corporatist, 100% militarist, 100% the tool of the oligarchy. Even when, in their magnanimity, they allow a real progressive a few minutes to speak.

Also I contrast those pessimistic thoughts with my new thoughts and reactions to e.g. Bernie Sanders' speech at Liberty University and the positive response across the board -- to the feeling of *relief* that there could be this discussion between people who treat each other as equals, whose differences are respected. Totally in the MSM's face.
