Anyone watching Rachel lately?

[busterbrown]

Seems she was the toast of the town for quite awhile...but during the campaign as it wore on, I became
more and more disappointed with her show.. Not for anything specific and believe me I realize how knowledgable, articulate and engaging she is..but I can’t put my finger on exactly why I felt this way.
Part of it might be because I thought she was too giddy sometimes, like she was thoroughly enjoying
reporting the Trump campaign as though she had no real skin in the game... and that she was not agitated enough, letting adversaries off the hook during interviews etc.

I was a huge fan of her show from the moment it aired years ago...but tell me, am i way off base on this? I’ll tell you this,, I don’t watch her anymore.

I replaced her with Amy Goodman’s Democracy Now..

1. Nope, election night was the last time I saw and will see her. I'm done

with "news" shows....done with even the hint of tRump topics.....and I'm doing great. Although I might have to be off DU's general discussion as well....DU lounge here I come.

23. I've been off that M$M manufactured "news" since 2002,

kennedy.. Welcome to the club!

2. I feel the same, also I don't watch her anymore. I feel she's too much with the Comcast In Crowd

anymore, at least that's how I feel.

[Solomon]

3. It's not just you. Money makes people funny.

That's always the bottom line.

[Island Blue]

4. Haven't watched her since the election.

Now that Trump is on the NBC payroll, I'll not be watching any shows on any of their networks.

5. I still like how she breaks down an issue but..

She takes too long to get to the point.

[Ilsa]

14. Yeah. Anyone with average intelligence can

See where she's headed, so the redundancy gets tiresome, even though the analysis is excellent.

I respect her professional abilities, but I don't need to be educated by the Hand of King Comcast.

6. The extent of my news consumption is checking twitter before I go out, to see if anything is on fire

I'm completely over "news".

I'll check the weather app to see if cold or wet is coming.

I didn't even follow the winter baseball meetings this past week to see what trades were going down.

[RKP5637]

7. I just see the news as propaganda outlets and misinformation - brainwashing. I don't

bother much anymore, except to see if the world is ending, and for that I check DU, my news source now.

[CrispyQ]

8. She's a repetitive nightmare, belaboring the point to burn through time.

Is she aware that the way she presents her info is insulting? And boring. Like we are three year olds & have to have the same info repeated over & over & over.

[beveeheart]

12. Over and over and over!! Like I could have forgotten what she said

from just before the last commercial! I stopped watching her a couple of years ago.

When I do start watching M$NBC again, AM Joy will be the only show I choose. Haven't watched any news since 11/9 except for local news.

[Cooley Hurd]

9. I watch her because she's always been an honest broker...

Even when she angers *some* Democrats.

[Kathy M]

10. Mostly No have not watched her ......

Will check at midnight for the top story for couple minutes then turn channel ..... Will watch Lawrence O'donnell or Chris Hayes on second airing before going to bed ..... one show is enough right now .........

Amy Goodman yes have listened if by radio or when my brother calls me about a specific show , he listens every day seems like .

[pnwmom]

11. I had the same reaction you did -- she seemed to act like it was a big joke.

I ended up switching to CNN, where I especially liked Van Jones. But I"m not watching any news shows now. I"d rather read about Trump.

[jodymarie aimee]

13. done with her

all MS RNC has left is Joy and Lawrence. We must take away the ratings for that network, if they are ever to turn LEFT again... that is the only thing Andy Lack will pay attention to. Can you imagine Keith, Rattigan, Ed, Toure, Bashir, Crystal...etal all back on. Heaven.

[hlthe2b]

15. I agree.. She may have been trying to remain "pleasant" while reporting on the most obscenely

disgusting aspects of Trump and his supporters, but I agree that it seems that she compartmentalizes TOO MUCH and thus seemed to be looking at everything as one big game. She surely wasn't the only one, but her assuming that attitude/approach was the most jarring to me.

[jalan48]

16. She works for the corporate media so............

[eleny]

17. AM Joy and Lawrence are all I watch when I do bother to watch tv news programming

I just didn't feel that the shows were a productive use of my time.

I did watch some Don Lemon shows but got put off by the right wing liars he has on regularly. So I'm down to watching Joy and O'D when I have the time.

[femmocrat]

18. I no longer watch MSNBC or CNN.

During the campaign, they covered every drumpf rally and every little thing he did or said ad nauseum. In my mind, they were part of the media machine that foisted that phony tinpot dictator upon the country and undermined Hillary's campaign.

[still_one]

19. same here

[blogslut]

20. Too bad

She kicked ass tonight.

[Chimichurri]

22. This

[Chimichurri]

21. That's a shame. She's been bringin the noise lately.

Her and O'donnell are the only ones - Chris Hayes and Steve Kornacki not so much
