Rachel, Rachel, Rachel, Rachel...
YOU ROCK.

Rachel Maddow is hosting Countdown tonight and she is simply DESTROYING McCain. I love her.

I'd love to see her host MTP.

1. Mmm.... I love her, but Rachel is openly biased...
Her hosting a supposedly fair political would be as credible as Bill O'Reilly being a fair interviewer.

2. Oh so what. It's our turn. Let's make the myth of liberal media bias true.

4. The idea is not very appealing to me, but it would still be better
than what we have now.

7. The thing is, she's telling the truth
Right? How can it be bias when the liberals are almost always right? It's really truth against delusional ideology, isn't it?

22. "Debbie Downer" - A character on Saturday Night Live
The wet blanket at the party.

Really, K, Rachel is doing a great job and fuck the Even Steven approach to media interviews. Big corps own the media so we're already behind the 8-ball, in case you didn't notice.

We need a couple of partisans on the tv. And even with Rachel and Keith we're still at an overall disadvantage.

28. I strongly disagree with you. They are wrong and deserve to be ridiculed
and exposed. I'm sure Rachel would be fair if there was a fair repug out there who deserved it.

43. Seriously Kat
When one side is trying to be rational and relatively moderate while the other is busy acting like fascist fucktards from outer space, where is the middle ground? Why even seek it?

46. Do you hate Keith Olbermann too?
She's a liberal. At least she's honest about her political leanings. I always roll my eyes when Bill Orally claims to be an independent. Also, Hannity & Colmes is a fake show in terms of giving both sides of arguments. They just lay out Alan Colmes as red meat for Hannity to chew up.

27. What's wrong with that?
As long as you make it perfectly clear what your biases are. The problem with the MSM is that they are dishonest about their corporate bias, presenting it as neutral.

It's nice to see someone call a spade a spade, and a geriatric douchebag a geriatric douchebag once in a while.

18. She is fully embracing the snark and ability to thrash republicans openly
before she was a little tentative and now is just completely honest and no-holds about it. Great stuff.

16. She totally proved Obama did NOT flip-flop on Iraq with video proof, and
then Richard Wolffe said Obama didn't flip-flop on anything ELSE he's been accused of flip-flopping, either, and that the only thing he flip-flopped on is holding more than one press conference per day.

45. #1 story on Countdown usually is some fluff piece anyway...
... so #1 story being about that is not news.

Having "fluff pieces" and serious news is not new. I still remember the BBC's Nationwide which was famous for this (skateboarding ducks, drunk snails) inbetween more serious political news.

Mark.

36. Loved Her Dissing MSNBC
unless MSNBC is somehow exempt from the appalling number of times the cable channels have accused Obama of flip-flopping, while McCain is no where to be found.

I had MSNBC on, but I'm here in another room on the puter and every other sentence the pretty ladies of MSNBC & David Schuster said throughout the day started with "Barack Obama".
