So Rachel is "flabbergasted" by tRump's Taiwan call

Maybe some of that flabbergast should have wiped the smiles off her and her colleagues faces at MSNBC that they had when tRump was selected?

I'm so fucking sick of this shit.
MSNBC and the rest of them devoted how much airtime to that Orange Anus?

Rachel Maddow was shaken on election night. She went after Trump consistently during the election.

She had tears in her eyes for several shows after the election. Imagine being in her shoes. Wake up.

They looked horrified as the returns were coming in making it clear that Trump was going to win. It was as if a dear friend was just murdered off screen while we watched.

...few can hold a candle to her on commitment to progressive issues.

You're take on her is full of it.

How many segments has she done on global warming?

Or is that not approved by her owners?

Don't get me wrong, the M$M created and fed this beast.

to reduce the overblown coverage of Trump during the election cycle. I haven't watched any cable (or other television) news since the election. I think the entire industry let the country down on this one.

In the middle of her, or anybody else's show just to show him lying through his teeth. Then they would return to the show, and no one, Rachel included, would point out the lies he just told. They were quite often about Hillary on top of it.
So they all sucked.
