(5,069 posts)that Rachel Maddow is an honest broker journalist. I abandoned that premise long ago.

(64 posts)I loved her pre- MSNBC, and even for part of her stint there, but she is way too selective of her targets. She has been absorbed by the Borg.

(3,919 posts)she is now a minion of the corporatocracy - no matter how highly she thinks of herself nor how much she is paid. she has sold her soul and her gift.

(3,544 posts)She was respectful, until recently. She has been told what to say if she wants a paycheck. Since that day, she does not exist to me. I have lost all respect for her. 1%er, big time, being paid by the 1%, being paid by the 1%.

(7,723 posts)and there are so few lefty people in the MSM. Still, her priorities are way messed up.

(3,544 posts)I have really enjoyed her journalism, until she completely flipped to HRC. Those days are over for me, for now.

(628 posts)Rachel's father likes to call Stephanie Miller's show and gush over Hillary too. I can't stand listening to the Hillary love fest on Stephanie's show. I usually catch the last half hour waiting for Thom Hartmann to come on.
SmittynMo
(3,544 posts)Even though she constantly denies she's all HRC, you know she's "all in" for HRC. And everyone knows why. So I don't listen to her either. I like to hang with the cool group that supports Bernie.

(9,141 posts)I like her but we only have one chance to get a true progressive elected. A man without secrets who stands for what the American people claim they want
KR thanks for posting.

(7,358 posts)It's very strange that Maddow can't see the light. Perhaps her paycheck speaks louder than what she really wants to go after as a so-called 'jounalist'. Although isn't her PhD in Sociology?

(24,010 posts)..which has been in the Democratic platform since Harry Truman, and no money for free public college tuition (which WE USED TO HAVE IN THIS COUNTRY IN MANY STATES).
Good point--yet another that Maddow DIDN'T ASK Clinton about.
This was an excellent analysis of what Maddow DIDN'T ASK.
On the Clinton Foundation, I can tell you why Maddow didn't pursue her jello-ish question with followup (on Clinton's mindboggling answer that there is no conflict between being President and the Clinton Foundation continuing to shovel in money from foreign governments). The pay-to-play that Clinton did, as Sec of State, with Saudi Arabia and 19 other foreign governments IS A CRIME!
THAT is what the FBI is investigating, in my opinion. That is the major focus of the investigation, and not sloppy security. Clinton set up her private server (an unprecedented action) IN ORDER TO MAKE SUCH DEALS, shoveling billions of dollars to her Clinton Foundation Slush Fund from the foreign governments she was making arms deals with.
So, of course, Maddow tries to neutralize this explosive topic by mentioning it but not following up.
Frankly, it has not surprised me that Maddow has turned out to be a shill for the Goldman Sachs candidate. It is not possible to earn millions of dollars in salary from the Corrupt Media and not become corrupt. Maddow has been BOUGHT. Same with Clinton.

(20,453 posts)Maddow is officially a shill for Hillary's run. Too bad she lost all credibility since her Air America Radio days...
But, she most definitely has. I gave her show the big thumbs down long ago, as I could see this train wreck starting to happen with this presidential race.
How's it feel to be the sell-out who maintained a large salary for a corporation who supported HRC, Rachel?
Never mind... She's only listening to the money and has for some time now.
