Who else hates the new Rachel Maddow / David Gregory simulcast? |
|
If I wanted to listen to an hour of screaming assholes, I'd buy a TV.

2. I turned her off tonight . . . |
|
The first problem was that she let them change her appearance --- and this is really no small think in TV land ...
She had a fresh-faced, tossled look which suited her --- she is all slicked down now and weird looking, with a face full of make up.
OK -- but tonight she was playing the game . . . and I just turned her off.

4. All the folks on the television machine wear makeup, even the men. |
|
I think that for Rachel, getting the word out is more important to her than how she looks doing it.

15. A long time ago during the OJ Simpson trial.....I used to really enjoy |
|
Gretta Van Susteren.......then faux noise hired her for her own program, and she has since turned into a freak.....plastic surgery, and a hair color change, she now just looks like all the other women on faux noise. I sure hope Rachel doesn't go that route. :cry:

19. Exactly what I was thinking, akennedy... |
|
Once they start to let the MSM do that to them, their credibility suffers. I winced when I heard Rachel was joining them.

22. When I said "I turned her off" it wasn't because of the makeup . . . |
|
When I said "she as playing the game" . . . I didn't mean makeup --
She didn't seem to be working against them as usual as much as joining them ---
Let's hope I'm wrong --- cause we need Rachel!!

12. That is what I understand - for the first hour. |
|
The second hour is Rachel, but we are usually busy then.

I've always liked Rachel's radio show, listened to the podcast FIRST on my list every day. The reason, she talked about what was happening, and skipped the celebutard gossip & corporate media bullshit.
I see the David Gregory show on MSNBC at the gym. First thing I do when I get there is switch any tv's turned to Fox "News" to MSNBC. I really don't want an hour of this election crap while the lying criminal Bush administration is fucking the world over. THAT'S what a news channel should be looking into, not this protracted primary.
I'm glad Rachel is on tv, but the sound from this show is boring. Any good parts, like the ass-kickings she handed to Joe Scarborough (R-WHORE) will end up on YouTube anyway.
I hope Maddow eventually gets a better show than this race-to-the-White-House fluff. She certainly deserves better.

I love Rachel, and listened live or by podcast to nearly every hour she did on radio - but this new show - OMG!!! After five minutes it's off. I agree with others here - if I wanted to listen to David Rove-Backup Gregory, Joe Dead Intern Scarface, et al, I'd watch M$M.... Bring back the old show, Rachel, please!

17. Air America Has Jumped The Shark |
|
In six months, Rachel will be on MSNBC full-time, Hartmann will be syndicated with Randi and Malloy, Seder will also have a new show on Nova M (hopefully with Maron) and Mark Green will have a big toy and nobody to play with it with him except Lionel.
And the best part is, we no longer need Air America. They blazed the trail but were too dumb to sustain it. Others smarter than them will.
Thanks, but go away, Air America. You've outlived your usefulness.

23. Haven't heard Randi all week cause I have to be out --- but listened to Belzner on AAR.... |
|
Edited on Sat Apr-26-08 01:28 PM by defendandprotect
and it sounds like they've given him a watchdog --- a sidekick -- ? Anyway, really boring shows that I heard part of ---
Anyone hear anything interesting this week from Belzner --- and what's Randi saying ????
I'll have to try to catch up with her programs . . . somehow!
And, btw, the Air America commercials are insane --- endless!!

Perhaps they could punch up the faux-metal guitar a little and have the guests yell over it a little more.

20. How long is this crap going to last? |
|
I pod cast it and now totally avoid the first hour.
If I wanted to listen to screaming assholes, I would watch a session of congress on cspan.

21. Theme music sucks, and |
|
on the podcast with headphones, that crap playing in the background sounds some kind of construction going on. I've been skipping to the second hour too. THAT'S the Rachel Maddow show.
Sucks that so many people listening live will just turn it off. It's really gonna hurt her.
