Maddow responds to criticism from Koch Industries

By Eric W. Dolan
Friday, October 21, 2011

MSNBC host Rachel Maddow on Thursday night responded to Koch Industries after the energy giant criticized her blog on its public relations website KochFacts.com.

Last week, writer Laura Conaway mocked Koch Industries for its job posting. The posting said: “For those concerned about jobs, Koch has some good news: it’s looking to fill more than 1,240 jobs across the country.”

But groups funded primarily by the billionaire conservative Koch brothers had strongly opposed Obama’s American Jobs Act, despite the fact that approximately 14 million people are currently unemployed.

“That comes out to 20,967 people for every available listing at Koch Industries,” Conaway noted.

[bigmonkey]

30. "Daddy's company"!

Really, that must've been painful for them to hear.

[peacetalksforall]

31. Koch Brothers - in position #1 to become the next President of the U.S. thanks to

Scalia and the corporate gang on the SC.

Two Presidents for one price. The price of citizenship and promises that have been broken - like the right to vote.

Go see Wisconsin now before all the trees are gone and the land scraped.

Just remember that the Republicans have been covering all the streets, corners, and alleys of our judicial system down to our school boards and definitely the Republican people and a growing number of Democratic leaders for decades.

They are about to take over everything if we don't figure it out.

Protesters - smarter than most of the people in this country.

[Stuart G]

34. They don't have the balls, together to even talk ten minutes with Rachel..nt

[NewJeffCT]

37. She's had a few big names Republicans on there

in the past - sometimes, they're arrogant enough to think they can handle a "girl" like Rachel.

[Lint Head]

32. Do it Rachel!!

[civilisation]

33. Good for her,.

scummy billionaires,. inherited it from daddy, and still have to stones to tell other folks to pull themselves up by there boot straps,. pathetic. Let me guess they will not be going on the show,. .

[ejbr]

35. Now THAT is what I'm talkin' about!

Represent girlfriend!

[unionworks]

36. because it's Rachel

I have to praise her again. She sprinkles her outstanding analysis "liberally" with her wonderful sense of humor. She has literally pulled me out of the dumps on some of my worst wingnut blue days. She is a national treasure! :) :) :)
