I can see how people on the right can dislike her as much as those on the left hate someone like Hannity, who is the pits of all humanity.
THANK YOU!

I have noticed that too! I can't stand her smug, arrogant tone. She delivers supposedly serious stories like she is telling us a funny joke. Her irritating inflections, ups and downs of words, and her generally elitist tone shows that she is not talking to her audience, but rather talking at them, like she is lecturing them because her audience is too stupid to understand unless she "Explains it" to them.

Hannity is the complete opposite. He tends to speak plainly, and comes across as sharing the adventure with the viewer rather than being a know it all. I personally find him very boring and dont watch him, or any news pundit on any side.

If you want to get a really good, unvarnished, discussion of current events, I would highly recommend turning to alt-media. My favorite as you may know is STYXHEXENHAMMER

He is a libertarian, and a very brilliant young man. If you have not seen him, i urge you to at least watch 1 of his videos.

very well stated.

It would seem to me the Maddow deals double damage to trumpettes. not only is she excellent at her job she is also a WOMAN.

Bottom line is this. How many people actually watch Maddow?
  • USA's population is ~325,000,000
  • ~87,000,000 households & businesses still subscribe to cable TV
Yet What is Rachel Maddow's viewership. via CableAdWeek

  • 761,000 on Jan 10, 2018. (25-54 demo)
  • Total viewers <1% of the US Population.
This is minuscule. A big nothing burger.

I suppose you are right that a lot of people who put on pussyhats, hold violent protests, attempt to stiffle free speech, kneebend at NFL games, etc would all be fans of Maddow.

I've only seen his show a couple of times, but it seemed really kooky. Kind of a leftish Alex Jones type thing with the tinfoil theories about Russian involvement, though I'll grant the presentation was less bizarre than Jones.
