97. I once watched all of MSNBC news programs

Sat Dec 6, 2014, 12:16 PM

Dec 2014

Now I am down to Rachel and Lawrence O'Donnell Rachel is #1. The rest of the lineup has too many Repubs and too many Repub clips
The woman at 4:00PM just gets on my nerves, smiles too much and has a grating voice, forget her name. Chris Mathews (TWEETY) is unbearable. He succeeds in making me furious for his love of the right wing while pretending to be a loyal Democrat.

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

After a week of bad news, it is a good way to send us off with a smile and alfredo Dec 2014 #114

Okay. Who do you prefer? We want NAMES. Enthusiast Dec 2014 #76

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

Right wingers are the Borg of the internet, it doesn't matter what the site is about TheKentuckian Dec 2014 #104

basement dwelling libertarians. Voice for Peace Dec 2014 #125

Yeah, I know who they are it just strikes me as particularly odd they could stand much less love TheKentuckian Dec 2014 #128

One person who comes to mind has a single issue political philosophy. Voice for Peace Dec 2014 #129

I agree - bombastic style by anyone is off-putting erronis Dec 2014 #117

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

:thumbsup: usafvet65 Dec 2014 #67

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

Those long lead-ins FlaGranny Dec 2014 #110

That's the Rhodes Scholar in her. alfredo Dec 2014 #115

Glad you like them BuddhaGirl Dec 2014 #130

Those commercials have been on for a few weeks and the anchor Cleita Dec 2014 #21

Shhhh!!! pinboy3niner Dec 2014 #28

Ha!!! babylonsister Dec 2014 #31

"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

They've got a strong lineup. alfredo Dec 2014 #70

Well, for this I will be cheap and say: awww-right awww-right-awww-right!1 - and UTUSN Dec 2014 #42

Tweety has the utmost respect for her. Cleita Dec 2014 #51

Well, after Tweety acted as the hitman to take out DONAHUE, he fueled Joe SCABS UTUSN Dec 2014 #91

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

Images that will NEVER have Rachel Maddow in them... nikto Dec 2014 #47

Uh huh AlbertCat Dec 2014 #108

Fair enough... nikto Dec 2014 #131

I can only post when there are images of... AlbertCat Dec 2014 #132

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

Who else loved Rachel? dawnie51 Dec 2014 #56

Interesting! Thanks, Segami, for an interesting thread. lmsp littlemissmartypants Dec 2014 #57

This Article from the BLOG of Politicus USA is obviously.... LovingA2andMI Dec 2014 #59

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

Sure you do and do I not have the right to say Cleita Dec 2014 #69

I don't disagree with you.... renate Dec 2014 #71

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
