She gave the appearance she was a progressive, but turns out she is just another Third Way shill who cares more about her pocket book then what is best for this country.

Bernie Sanders is a millionaire too, despite his efforts to hide his assets in his wife's name and not release his taxes.

So it's time to throw Rachel Maddow under the bus now?

There have also been segments on her show that discuss the TPP such as the one below so she is covering the story.



Then there is this segment on net neutrality.



So the video evidence is available that both topics have been covered on her show. You might not like the coverage on her show and she may not have expressed personal opinions on the two issues, but saying that the issues have not been mentioned is inaccurate.

Yeah, that's it. She's obviously evil and she and Clinton stand their twirling their evil mustaches and practicing their evil laughs.

It's silly how eagerly people make such easily disprovable claims as evidence that people like Maddow are hacks or hell-bent on pushing Clinton.

Yes Sir!

That's what she says to the propaganda orchestrators who pay her $7 million.

Wow, that's an astounding sum. There's a lot of money in making us all sheeple.

with me in this primary campaign. I don't expect her to be a Sanders supporter herself, but I expected more objectivity. Pandering yes, in the worst way. Sold out.

I am so disappointed in her. Was a big fan. Like her approach. But no longer.

Chris Hayes is about the only one I can stand on MSNBC anymore. Am going more and more to the non-MSM alternatives.

Rachel pretends to be progressive while pandering to Clinton and the Big Money.

Why not mention Chris Matthews' salary or Lawrence O'Donnell's?

Joe Scarborough's?

If you're having a discussion about TV hosts' incomes, it would probably be relevant to include men's and women's salaries. JMHO.

had died and something hard and empty had arisen in its place.

Maybe it's the Comcast effect. Maybe it's too much money. I don't know, but she's nothing like what she used to be.

Further proof that she gone down the tubes is the reflexive defense of her on the part of Hill fans who invariably leap to the defense of anything sold-out and corrupted.

seem to care whether she would be supporting Democrats who are for helping the 1% rather than the people.
