Rachel, modulate the news

I know, everything in this fucking country is dire.
But please, your information is important, but modulate your voice.
Not everything is a 911 emergency.
Give us the facts. Get pissed off every once in awhile at the biggest
stupidity on the other side.
Modulate.

1. We obviously didn't watch the same broadcast. There was nothing wrong with Rachel's delivery.

Voter fraud and voter suppression are extremely important issues to confront.

Rachel knows what she is doing, better than you do.

(and I'm seeing too) her excited passion in doing what she loves doing.

“I can never get people to understand that poetry is the expression of excited passion, and that there is no such thing as a life of passion anymore than a continuous earthquake, or an eternal fever. Besides, who would ever shave themselves in such a state?”

The voter suppression stories were very well done.
I was wondering why she wasn't more outraged about the abuses of the repugs.

She ended each story with a wtf look on her face with her palms turned up (figuratively).
But she never called for action by anyone in the various states to do anything about the fraud.

Perhaps she is expecting that it will just spontaneously be challenged by others in those states.
And perhaps it will.
I hope.
