Hey Rachael Maddow, when you were so sympathetic to Brent Baier when he appologized

[still_one]

for LYING about a pending indictment on Hillary, how it was an "honest mistake"

You are a fool Maddow. You are well aware of the network he works for, and you know this isn't the first time that fox has LIED, but you make excuses.

1. The job is a just fat paycheck for her now.

[Foggyhill]

2. Such incredible fabrication with such consequences and then "walkbacks" (Sic) are not "an error"

It is basically a propaganda technique.

The initial damage gets out and propagates but the correction has a lot less scope.
So, the damage is done.
Another 0.1% lost, here, another 0.1% there and soon enough you lose a state or a senate race.

I don't know why Maddow's supposed to be very intelligent...
Maybe it is book smart, but she seems to not any knowledge of how dirty politics his: lack of street smart.

Joy seems to have a lot more wit than her.

She seems to lack bite and street smart.

4. Of course it wasn't a mistate foggy. It is classic Joe McCarthy. Call someone a commie

then retract it at a later time, and no one notices

[Mr. Ected]

3. What happened to Rachel? I thought she was a principled liberal

Did she sell out?

6. No, she didn't "sell out", but she was giving undeserved cudos to a fox reporter for

apologizing for a LIE he told. He deserved absolutely no praise at all for starting the lie, letting it fester for around 48 hours, and then apologizing for the mistake

[Dem2]

5. Yawn

Geez, so many reasons to be

[still_one]

7. I know, no big deal, but giving undeserved praise to someone who lied about something

waited 48 hours to "apologize" for the mistake, and then the network he works for continues to perpetuate the lie that he said was a mistake, deserves no praise

[Dem2]

8. I just think we should relax and allow for imperfection.

I thought what she did was honorable.

What I find annoying is that EVERY media outlet personality (except maybe Joy & Lawrence, though he was on the shit list until recently) is tossed under the bus whenever they don't tow the line as we see fit.

[Foggyhill]

9. She's been on the shit list for most of the election cycle, Maddow's been up to snuff for a while.

Not sure what changed but she's lost a step.

People change with time, not always for the best.

She's seemingly incredibly naive for someone who has dealt with politics for so long.

Knowing on public relations and propaganda techniques work should be well known to someone working in communication.

It is not just her, a lot of journalists seems to have missed the few communications classes on those subject.
Maybe they need a refresher course. That and a few courses on interview techniques.
For god sakes, "The View" has more hard hitting interviews than so called news programs!
That tells you how badly they've failed.

10. I know what you mean.. get real Rachael
