BTW it was data analytics not just polling data.

I generally watch a lot of MSNBC and hope that the best stories (and guests) they're reporting on will be available - sometimes they're available on their site and sometimes I'm disappointed, but I wasn't disappointed tonight.

Drives me nuts batting her eye lashes but she is one great Investigative Reporter. No one can deny that. She must have a great team.

Along with Fact Checkers on CNN the truth is there. You just have to filter out the fluff.

Great video!

She's wearing eye makeup which she normally doesn't - unless she's on air. I remember one time, ages ago, when she was away and was brought in to broadcast from a studio wherever she was - and the local reporter had to do Rachel's makeup, and though their complexions were quite a big different, that was the only makeup she had! They explained that on the show.

And I agree that Rachel is the best and the brightest. I was here on DU for her very first anchor broadcast, she was brought in to sub for Keith Olbermann back in the day. Despite her experience on radio - and as a previous sidekick on MSNBC early on - she was extremely nervous and those of us on DU were cheering her on. But she got it together before the end of the show and there's been no stopping her ever since. And I agree that she must have a remarkable staff - and she is meticulous when it comes to her facts, which is the reason that even those she disagrees with are willing to come on her show.

Probably quite right on the eye make up. She really does not need it with her expressive eyes.

When she broadcast from home it was better.

I do not mean to take away from her ability on Investigative reporting. I watch her show early in the morning, looked up and the very same thing was on my TV. She has no match.
