she covers republicans exactly opposite from the way Fox PROMOTES them. Big difference, and an important one.

later to see if there is anything worthwhile there. I think I will do that the rest of the week. If I find there is only a small amount of time spent on issues I care about, I will stop watching altogether. Screw this. I don't care about what the Republicans are doing.

What I won't see is what I need to know because it's being suppressed by a media that doesn't deserve the name. I get all the real news anyway on BBC News and Al Jazeera. I liked Ed, Chris and Rachel for their analysis and guests. Instead now we are getting Repug politicians and Heritage Foundation flacks. I don't need to watch them.

Hint: I KNOW I am -- gratefully -- not voting in the Republican Primary, and so I
don't have a dog in that hunt, and could care less about the latest antics in the GOP
clown show. It makes my head hurt to see it getting saturation air-time, even when
Rachael covers it, though her humorous touches do help it go down a little better.

If the only ones that pay attention to them are the blind sheelple and fawing sycophants, then we deserve what happens.

I didn't watch, but would be shocked to learn she had anything positive to say about them.
