Rachel Maddow Show is now a simulcast of "Race for the White House?"

[PSPS]

Jesus, who thought up this train wreck? I had to turn it off.

Is this what those of you who watch TV have to put up with? It's indistinguishable from some kind of football pre-game show, complete with the constantly running fuzz-guitar "bed" and breathless hyper-ventilating fast-talking "color commentators" (Maddow, regrettably, among them) opining about "what it all means" and "what clinton or obama has to do."

Disgusting! No wonder elections are so fucked up these days.

As for Maddow, I used to hold her in very high esteem. After this fiasco, her standing with me has been quite diminished.

UGH!

1. just the first hour - obviously

[islandmkl]

2. watch out, Rachel.....

MSM trivialization on the horizon!!

[rurallib]

3. AAR - move rachel to randi's old spot and give Sam his old

spot back. Whaddya think? Great idea, I'd say!

[undeterred]

4. On our local Air America they announced

that this was going to be on from now till the election. I think I am going to puke. The first hour of Rachel's show was the best part of their programming.

8. Ya they silenced Mike Malloy prior to every Presidental

election even though he was popular.

5. This is awful. Is Rachel in there someplace? It's like "Where's Waldo"

Just try to find Rachel in the middle of the SFX and the rapid spiel with no substance punctuated with ridiculous hyperbole.

[undeterred]

6. They say something ridiculous and she chimes in.

7. Air America supports Obama and trashes Hillary.

Randi moved over to Nova because she trashed Hillary. What? Seems every program on Air America is doing that (yep even Thom Hartmann). I turned on Air America in the Chicago area and Joy from The View was on. Ugh.

Anyway when I logged onto Nova it's all about Randi.

When I turn on Air America to get Thom Hartmann RWers talk and talk adnosium. They talk fast so you don't really understand them. But we do all too well. After eight years of Bush who doesn't under stand the discussion (yawn). They wonder why they can't stay on the air as a liberal station?

Where is the "Progressive radio station" in the MW? We have 90% of the media who is RW and not a station that is Progressive and truthful.

9. Yeah, and it SUCKS.

I love you, Rachel, you are the best thing on the air today, but I cannot stand listening to these other blowhards.

I love listening to her--I learn so much. I usually end up listening to the shows at least twice, because I podcast, but I guess now I'll have to fast forward through the first hour--I just can't stand the hot air.
