its not her job to be a reporter, she is a commentator. more specifically a liberal commentator. (which, btw is no secret, as she consistently points it out during her shows)

i wouldn't regard myself as a liberal but i respect rachel for her work. she obviously fact checks meticulously, and i like her self deprecating humor.

Well you removed the sound, she's reacting to one of Michael's Steele's speeches where's he's talking to some college kids about "hats"

I think she is gorgeous - shame about the whole lesbian thing.

@1loveshop But it does greatly influence all that you do. All that you can do and what you will be able to do. Although politics may not be as "entertaining" as TV, it is more important to your health, education and welfare and that of your family and children.

i guess America isn't such a bad place. I don't know why I'm always shitting on it.

@deabrat She's actually good friends with someone at the John Birch Society. I saw a video on YouTube where she was quite friendly with them.

Not that I expect you to see or reply to comment since you left it two years ago.

@themunz126 I don't care what politicians are doing. Never have understood why I should care who's in the White House or any of that jazz.

I don't even care if it affects my life. I don't really see how it affects my life and there's nothing I can do to change that sort of stuff. What, vote in someone else? Why? It's boring. TV is more interesting and entertaining, and valuable.

I actually find some of the worst TV channels to be more valuable than virtually anything in politics.

@Lenora1854 Well that is what the idea of freedom of the press was all about. So that they could report on what politicians were doing. I expect some slant, but it has gotten ridiculous to the point that journalism is dead. It has become less about the news and more about convincing people to see your side of a political argument. In the case of Maddows, she is using her gestures to even further elevate her points. I guess her arguments aren't good enough, she has to make gestures too.

@themunz126 That would be beautiful, in all seriousness, and wonderfully off the wall. :) I'm sorry to be nihilistic, but I don't believe anything can ever be truly objective, as reality is something we perceive and therefore there is no absolute truth. Believing that, as lovely as it sounds, is just a tad naive. What we have to do is analyze the so called "news" and decide for ourselves what we want to think and who we want to be. Rachel is only human, and that's exactly what she does.

@Lenora1854 Well, maybe media should be what it is supposed to be. The watch dogs of the government, not the lap dogs. There shouldn't be liberal or conservative media. How about .. I know this is off the wall .. but how about Honest reporting from reporters?

[Lenora1854]

@themunz126 Aw, that's kind of silly, though. As adorable as she may be, I'm still far more interested in her intelligence than her manner of gesticulation. But I'll be the first to admit she gesticulates sexii.

Plus, honey, this is MSNBC. It's for liberals. Like, the left. You know?
