You then believe that reporting a thing is the same as "making a big deal out of" a thing, and there is no relevant difference?

and she is part of the media.. Correct.. And she was along with Fox, Tweety, O'Donnell, Morning Joe and the rest of MSNBC driving the story.. Correct or do I need to pull up her segments.. What this story was really all about is the media not hearing from Hillary for awhile trying to draw her out!

Just wondering .... you don't really seem the type. Real reporting all, sometimes goes over the heads of peeps that are used to being yelled at and lied to.

But cool story bro.

Enjoy your stay.

Rachel has correctly reported on a story, to NOT do so would mean she was as bad as GOPTV...

fox for our friends here who watch fox as a news source




Rachel is as perfect as a person can get when it comes to accuracy and honesty, period.

She has reported on the story in the manner in which it needs to be reported on, and her reporting on it is very different from the propaganda machines.

The right HATES Rachel, remember that everybody.

The media - even MSNBC - has gone into Hillary feeding frenzy mode. If there was nothing else going on, I might understand it, but this is the week Republicans decided to overstep their boundaries by a million miles and it's not being given the serious discussion it should have. Rachel is probably the most educated and brilliant person on air today and I'm extremely grateful she isn't obsessed with Hillary and her emails.

media since the story broke. Where's the harm in that? Transparency was the issue here. I don't think anyone who would support HRC will be less likely to do so over a private email account.

What she does for a living is called REPORTING THE NEWS...I understand that is a strange concept for Foxnews viewers.
