Neutral. Unconcerned. Disinterested. 11 13.58%

Most people with an "advanced degree" have learned critical thinking skills by the time they earn their degree. Glenn Beck and Hannity are pure emotion.

Maybe after you change the status line re: your opinion concerning Palin and show a real concern for the issues instead of your liberal talking points.

I just can't tolerate somebody like that who thinks people who disagree with her are idiots and that anybody who agrees with her is an even bigger idiot. At least Limbaugh and Hannity and Beck realize that to get decent ratings they have to at least be professional and reach out to the mainstream even if they don't agree with them 100%. They can clown around and be goofy like Maddow is much of the time but ratings do matter to them. She just puts so little effort into her job. A hack is what describes her best. I know MSNBC is now supported by the government now through GE but even they can't just toss money away with a news network that is becoming a joke.
A fledgling liberal news network done seriously could be started and that would push MSNBC quickly back into fourth place. I guess the broadcasting monopoly is now set up to prevent that but it would be fun to watch.
LOL "aims her show at middle schoolers".........OMG! Clearly you've never watched her show, OR if you did it went right over your head.

Ahh, and then there is the constant worship of money and ratings. Is that how you guys determine what TV to watch, the ratings? You must be kidding when you say that Beck, et al, "reach out to the mainstream".....god help us if their fans are "mainstream."

"Fledgling liberal news network".......see Current TV.

I've never watched Maddow-I'm game-I'll watch a show and see what the deal is.

Anyone know what time she is on?

I see this has been addresses but I think it needs to be repeated.

Have you read your own tag line?
