I'm not a hardcore Rachel follower, although she certainly does good work at times.

While death at age 81 is no surprise, the Smith story does in fact have a peculiar circumstantial whiff about it...

and tune in to watch her every week night.....but the last "big story" she teased about was nothing so I am not holding my breathe waiting for this one.

I watch every night anyway. I don't anticipate a blockbuster, but I do expect it will be entertaining.

This is it, if this ends up being a non story, or something that doesnt
gain traction, then I will put you on the level of a used car salesman,
a con artist, or worse Lousie Mensch and Claude Taylor.

If it's a HUGE story that damages Trump beyond repair, then you
will go down in history as the greatest Journo ever.

THIS BETTER BE BIG RACHEL!!!

She probably wouldve said otherwise.

This has to be trump related.

I mean she hasntr been working on a story about Kayne west making out with Jay Z.

if its anything small and just quirky, she might as well go to E on Line and talk
trash.

I mean these announcements to make announcements, its pure PR BS.

She has to deliver big this time, and I mean Big.

She didn't say she was going to kill a chicken on live tv or anything so exciting. She just said she has a scoop that she's been working on for a while.

Is too late for me. I think she is fantastic but I do not think she needs to trail stuff that is less than it actually is. Her work is good enough that she doesn't need to do this. The 2005 tax trailer was embarrassing, even worse that it seems she was set up by Trump.
