Good God, can we get Rachel Maddow a better producer?

[Fran Kubelik]

Her lighting is nearly always unflattering - especially tonight with Obama.
Someone keeps missing cues - last night they cut away to a commercial in the middle of a sentence.
There's always weird background noise.

What the hell? She's a brilliant interviewer, gets great ratings, and doesn't even rate a decent producer? :nuke:

1. I think part of the lighting is that she is not in her studio. She is somewhere in FLA.

It may have been a patched together job.

I hear the background noise every week too. It sounds like my microwave beeping.

13. That beeping is Pat Buchanan. He makes that sound when he backs up. n/m

[Fran Kubelik]

19. Oh dear.

:spray:

[BrklynLiberal]

21. Bwaahaahahahahahahah ahaahaaahhh

[glowing]

2. I agree.. they seem to put her in the worst light and sat her in a very

unflattering manner. She needs a better producer.

3. The background noise has been distracting me too . . . .n/t

4. It's almost funny how they cut to her every time she looks worried.

Not just worried, but downright down. I happen to like it. It's far better than a glued on smile. But it's not good for her.

[Fran Kubelik]

5. I think that's her listening/thinking face.

:D

[Gregorian]

22. That's exactly what my wise old dad just said.

It's funny. He's 84, and watches her and the Daily Show. He asked ME if I had just seen her interview. He loves her. We're both the engineering kinds. So that translates to a little negative at times.

6. send in your CV. nt

[Fran Kubelik]

7. ooh! Good idea!

:D

[IntravenousDemilo]

14. Yes, all inquiries are to be sent to the producer.

Dear Producer,

You suck. I want your job.

[Fran Kubelik]

16. I might even sign it with something like

"Very sincerely yours"

or

"Best wishes always"


I mean...really. I should maintain some decorum.

[IntravenousDemilo]

17. Even better. Politeness counts. n/m

[political_Dem]

8. Not only a better producer. She also needs a better make up person as well.

She looks very natural, which is nice. But the light especially focused on the two, big moles (bumps) on her throat. You couldn't miss it.

I also agree with the lighting as well.

[Fran Kubelik]

11. yep!

[givemebackmycountry]

9. I notice none of this.....

I'm so focused on what's being SAID.
I'd stand on my deck with a TV antenna in my hand and be happy to hear her.

What's up with all this Rachel angst the past 48 hours?

Chill the EFF out!

[Fran Kubelik]

10. I'd do the same to hear Rachel

I just want her better taken care of.

[annabanana]

20. Make no mistake. . I practically crawled on all fours and hung out

four story windows to hear her with Lynn Winstead on her morning show.. and I'd do it again if I had to, to watch her show. I just don't think she's getting the respect she's due with some of the production problems.

[AlCzervik]

12. She looks fine to me, maybe you all have awesome tv sets.

[Fran Kubelik]

18. Hmmm...well I do have a nice TV

Or at least it was 4 years ago. Probably by now it's crap. And it's only like 32 inches. So really, maybe it's not so great.

Or maybe I just am really picky. :)

[justiceischeap]

15. There are some nights where her eye make-up makes her look

racoonish and on either her first or second show, she had an orange pallor about her.
