I suppose your next move will be to say people are SCARED of her!

lol


Gotta agree about Hannity. Can't stand the fool. Occasionally (rarely), I watch because of a guest, but Good God, shut your piehole about dirty air and water, you raving idiot!

Seriously can't stand Hannity.

And yes, I'm disputing MadCow's intelligence. Again, education does not equal intelligance.
What the hell is so LOL about saying cons are afraid of Rachel Maddow? They pull that bull**** all the time.

Maybe not the same things you want to give, but give, just the same


Rachel Maddow high school speech - YouTube
Oh my God, that was amazing. Did you hear that applause? It was like she was already famous. At the end as she's walking offstage you can hear a woman say she's going to be something someday

msnbc video
The video isn't of Maddow and is talking about gay marriage not assault weapons.

Oh, her ratings are higher than Hannity in the coveted 25-54 age group and her overall ratings are double CNN. Not bad for "a college dorm basement broadcast."
Brilliant? I don't think so. She is a political commentator, just like her counterparts on the right.

If ratings were a good predictor of brilliance, then you would have to agree Rush Limbaugh is brilliant too.

Ratings of a TV or radio show indicate only one thing - the audience enjoys that show. Far more people watch Dancing with the Stars.

Lordy, I watched about 10 minutes of Maddow tonight and couldn't stomach it.

She's not even a good commentator.

Switched to Piers. Nothing good on Animal Planet.

Just have to wonder if they're just uncomfortable having a open lesbian hosting a show.

I dont care about any of the issues you pointed out, I just want her to have unbiased facts rather than spout off with the liberal mantra of more gun control. I wonder if she would do better to contact the "pink pistols" for a more factual response, some how I doubt it.

To be fair, Rachel Maddow's job is not so much to report the news, but to reaffirm the political beliefs of her viewers. Part of this affirmation includes promoting her political viewpoints. The same is true of Hannity and many others.

What she is doing is perfectly within her job.

Understood. Problem is she's not good at it. She's not compelling. She comes across as a lecturer but her patrons aren't teachable.

She's really, really bad at what she's doing.
