Aspire to something more.

One of the heartening things throughout this has been my discovery of left-wing journalists with integrity who long ago chronicled the conspiratorial nonsense she was peddling on her show and they did not stop and they were ultimately vindicated.

The thing that makes it worse with Maddow is that she is not an idiot like Sean Hannity. She knows better, but she committed to this and got in so far that she lacked the courage to admit that she was wrong. I mean stuff like that alarmist claptrap she tried foisting on her audience about "Maybe Russia will shut down our power grid and kill Americans" was appalling. Alex Jonesian stuff. But because networks are run by folks governed by the same nihilistic sentiments you voiced, they will not pull the plug on this woman so long as she can deliver a million viewers to the companies that pay the bills for her network.

Right, there was no implication whatsoever, just a non sequitur.

I didn't accuse him of being "childish." Had he/she included emoticons, I might have.

Has Madcow apologized to President Trump for slandering him about Russia for the last 2 years?

^^ Maddow was saying this???

No damn wonder her audience is freaked out. Just like Biden said "they'll put you back in chains and They'll bring Jim Crow back". And then they accuse the right of fear mongering?

"Maybe Russia will shut down our power grid and kill Americans"

Rachael gives a whole new context to the word CREEPY.

I can only watch her for about two minutes and then get the urge to take a long shower......
