R53, I know she’s doing the best work at MSNBC (and all of cable.)
She & her staff seem to be completely copacetic (and doing the most research on cable), but I’m too impatient to wait for her to get to the crux of so many of her monologues.
It’s me not her.
And I’m just going to say it. I wish she’d worked harder to let people know that most of the lies about Hillary were just that.
It was clear she was a Sanders supporter throughout the primaries. I thought it was equally clear she wasn’t happy when Clinton got the nomination over Sanders.
To be clear, I did not expect her to favor Clinton in her reporting, but there were plenty of unflattering newsworthy stories about Bernie Sanders throughout the campaigns.
Not least of which was the fact that his campaign manager hacked The DNC’s voter rolls in the first weeks of his campaign (for information he was entitled to by asking), then, when caught SUED The DNC!!!
That is a HUGE story but it was barely reported. The other being questionable anonymous foreign donations & “bookkeeping” issues.
She never called him out for his horrendously shitty treatment of Debbie Wasserman Schultz.
Not to mention his Manager’s association with Paul Manafort,Putin & The Ukraine “election”!
None of those things were ever investigated on The Rachel Maddow Show, because Sanders was her guy!
If she had defended the good works of The Clinton Foundation-instead of not saying anything when it was being depicted as a personal ATM for The Clinton Family- I would have a lot more respect for her.
I would also assert that she probably feels this way too, in hindsight, and given how everything’ turned out!
If she’d worked a fraction as hard to fight the massive smear campaign that had been launched against Hillary as she does trying to expose the corruption of The Trump Administration, again, I’d respect her more.
No one in The MSM even bothered to mention anything Hillary had accomplished in a lifetime of public service, and service to children, here and in every part of the world.
It was easier to take cues from the forces that were working against her and parrot “emails!” & “Benghazi!”
Her expression on election night when it was clear Clinton couldn’t win, is one of those moments we experience only a few times in our lives.
She looks like she’s had the air knocked out of her. While also realizing many other things all in a single moment.
