Good.

Who needs you?

What screaming? I've never heard her scream except in jest.

It's not a news broadcast y'know. It's an opinion show with Rachel Maddow as host (whatever the network wants to call her to improve their muck ups)

Since when were cocktails "sophomoric"? She's not showing you how to drink a beer out of a can.

Jesus!

Must be yet another RW lame complaint sent around by trolls.

MSNBC's bosses may be evil parasites but they're not braindead olddots Dec 2014 #3

Yet, they put Gregory on MTP--and followed his failure with Todd. merrily Dec 2014 #86

But they're not Politicalboi Dec 2014 #126

Her video podcast of her nightly program was #2, the last time I looked. longship Dec 2014 #4

Arguably the best part of this is that they didn't elevate Chris Matthews to anything tularetom Dec 2014 #6

LOL! Ykcutnek Dec 2014 #7

They can take out Mika, too. nt valerief Dec 2014 #17

What? you don't like obsequious Mika vlyons Dec 2014 #54

You don't like it when Mika looks adoringly at Joe while he pontificates? Enthusiast Dec 2014 #75

So, you don't buy that she's there as a moderate leftist to balance moderate rightist Joe? merrily Dec 2014 #82

She is very nice, but she is there to make liberals look like weak lapdogs. JDPriestly Dec 2014 #111

I was being facetious. I could not agree with you more about Mika, and I probably merrily Dec 2014 #112

True. I watch it as rarely as possible. It does not take long to get Mika's role in that nasty JDPriestly Dec 2014 #116

Her once in awhile cocktail minute, occasionally on a Friday, is Cleita Dec 2014 #30

I think her showing how to make different cocktails is charming. alfredo Dec 2014 #39

Oh, but it's sophomoric! Enthusiast Dec 2014 #77

But the job of the journalist is to inform. alfredo Dec 2014 #88

We always enjoy Rachel's drink segment. Enthusiast Dec 2014 #92

She's having fun with it too. It's a nice way to end a week of shows. alfredo Dec 2014 #103

so do I and I don't even like cocktails! CTyankee Dec 2014 #107

I quit watching her AlbertCat Dec 2014 #80

+1 an entire shit load. Enthusiast Dec 2014 #93

I'm not a rw troll and I love Rachel's brilliant reporting Voice for Peace Dec 2014 #96

You must remember.... AlbertCat Dec 2014 #100

I don't know how you pulled yourself away for FOX long enough to even tune in for 2 min. olegramps Dec 2014 #94

"Rachael" is on the Food Channel. KamaAina Dec 2014 #134

I like her, but longer can watch her on point Dec 2014 #11

I like that she repeats and shows an issue in different light adieu Dec 2014 #16

Uh-huh. I find the same things. immoderate Dec 2014 #58

Me too. Enthusiast Dec 2014 #78

Maybe you're not her audience. You could always turn to Billo. nt valerief Dec 2014 #19

Criticism of poor quality is not the same as wanting Billo instead on point Dec 2014 #35

Maybe you're a Hannity person. nt valerief Dec 2014 #36

Yeah right. Perhaps you are a sycophant. My side right or wrong, unable to see fault where it exists on point Dec 2014 #120

Methinks the lady doth protest too much. Your undercover is showing. nt valerief Dec 2014 #124

Except she isn't any of those things you describe. Cleita Dec 2014 #27

She wants to be sure everyone understands before she gets to the meat of the subject. alfredo Dec 2014 #40

I don't think that would be a problem in the MTP format, though. merrily Dec 2014 #83

she repeats the same content 3-5 times in different ways, AlbertCat Dec 2014 #106

Too bad they don't have a news show for her to anchor. That would be nice. Bluenorthwest Dec 2014 #12

Agree with "On Point" . . FairWinds Dec 2014 #14

I'd guess you're more a Billo fan, then. nt valerief Dec 2014 #20

LOL! Segami Dec 2014 #22

I watch a different show, but then I've been following Rachel since Cleita Dec 2014 #26

I used to love Rachel and Kent's banter on the Air America radio show. nt valerief Dec 2014 #29

Yes, and she had Kent on the TV show recently. Cleita Dec 2014 #33

Liz Winstead used to drag her down on Air America. 7962 Dec 2014 #48

I never got that impression at all. Cleita Dec 2014 #52

Liz Winstead is one very funny person. Also co-founder and program director of Air America. Bluenorthwest Dec 2014 #99

Oh, she's a great comic, but she needed to leave politics to people like Maddow. 7962 Dec 2014 #118

And she is mediocre at best on economic justice and war & peace issues. AlbertCat Dec 2014 #105

I prefer Chris Hayes...he's my must watch show each night cally Dec 2014 #15

He's incredibly smart also. nt babylonsister Dec 2014 #32

I love Chris too! BuddhaGirl Dec 2014 #49

"she is too partisan" means she doesn't have enought RW bias, but presents news items in a fair still_one Dec 2014 #34

I hope Rachel somehow gets some more eyeballs yeoman6987 Dec 2014 #37

Kicked upstairs and getting more Establishment all the time nikto Dec 2014 #38

PERFECT~~~ LovingA2andMI Dec 2014 #61

...and if you don't play their game, you end up like Keith. bbgrunt Dec 2014 #64

I have a feeling Alex Wagner is going to be kicked upstairs too. alfredo Dec 2014 #41

Yes, Alex is very smart, with her big smile. On Bill Maher once she was sharp as can be, appalachiablue Dec 2014 #50

Having her anchor an actual news show Mr.Bill Dec 2014 #43

Good point----"getting hung up on one story for days on end sometimes" is the biggest problem nikto Dec 2014 #45

I enjoy Rachel and Ed. The rest of them can go. MSNBC needs a major overhaul. silvershadow Dec 2014 #46

Why the hostility, Mr. 2-Out-Of-Six? nikto Dec 2014 #136

It sounds more hostile than I intend AlbertCat Dec 2014 #137

I like Rachel, but she is definitely limited by Comcast nikto Dec 2014 #138

Oh sure, and "Dances With Rove" and "Chucky Toad" are non-partisan.... Spitfire of ATJ Dec 2014 #55

I would go further. MSNBC rides the same stories from Morning Joe to the Last Word. merrily Dec 2014 #85

Yep, Morning Joe is an "early indicator" of the GOP talking points for the day... CTyankee Dec 2014 #123

I'm one of those viewers that Maddow has lost and usafvet65 Dec 2014 #60

Oh, the "I loved her until she left me". Cleita Dec 2014 #62

I believe I have the right to not like the evolution usafvet65 Dec 2014 #68

Wonder if chucky's feeling the heat at his sorry heels? As If Chucky Todd isn't too bloody Cha Dec 2014 #72

For me, it isn't so much that he's partisan. It's that he is a partisan HACK. merrily Dec 2014 #87

Tyt or Thom hartmann??? Hulk Dec 2014 #73

Compared to the other networks, the entire MSNBC evening lineup is vastly superior. Enthusiast Dec 2014 #74

Well excellent. lonestarnot Dec 2014 #79

I always thought NBC should have chosen her over Gregory and Todd, especially Todd. merrily Dec 2014 #81

Yeah for Rachel Gothmog Dec 2014 #89

Rachel is too partisan, but Gregory and Todd are NOT??? DFW Dec 2014 #95

I once watched all of MSNBC news programs katmondoo Dec 2014 #97

Comcast owns NBC, MSNBC and CNBC. It is libertarian as is Rachel. Todays_Illusion Dec 2014 #98
