I don't like watching Rachel Maddow. I LOVE IT!

Sorry I had to do this in response to this DU thread I just came across

I don't like watching Rachel maddow

I guess she's fine for her persona and herself as a character. Maybe I can see how she doesn't do it for some. But damn the content of her shows is epic! The story lines are so riveting, I put the most interesting pieces together in one post last week. About two months ago I realized she is the only talking head I actually enjoy watching. It's because of the way she connects the dots and shines light on all angles.

Collection of Maddow's reportings on failings of trump and connections to Putin

Certainly to this list you have to add last night's piece on the IRG and drumpfy.

She does such an amazing job of clearly presenting information. With the current admin, that takes a special talent.

I actually get upset if I have to miss her. I just sort of listen to the news during the day while doing other stuff but for Rachel I put things down and watch her. I even put DU down...well most of the time...I stay on if it is something really big....like last night.

Both of them are wicked smart.

There is something substantial to be learned from them almost every night ... and Rachel is a master storyteller. Her research people must be top-notch, too.

Impressive how she keeps pulling that off night after night.

I'm happy you and others enjoy her show, like her, love her, whatever. I'm just not a fan of the show. We don't all have to agree and like the same things. That would be boring.
