Rachel Maddow

Why isn't Rachel in a more prime time on MSNBC. Rachel, in my area is on at 11.00PM at night. She exposes many of the problems rebooblicons have, she is very good at what she does and is far better than many of the talking heads that never ask the right probing questions. I'd like to see her in the 8:00 slot where she gets out to more people.

I think the point was that it should be broadcast at a time slot when there is more exposure Amaryllis Feb 2017 #14

I've read some complaints about her doing a lot of back story before she gets to the point but I find that very helpful, especially when she is talking about the Trump-Russia connection.

As for Rachel taking the time to set up her story - just as a college prof would do - Dr. Maddow informs, recreates the many stories needed to connect the dots..I bet she has a board, a very large board in her office and just keeps adding information - soon, soon -

the republican congress CANNOT continue to stonewall - "we the people" aren't going to wait for them....as usual we are way out in front of them - 2018 is a make it or break it for them - you get who you vote for....VOTE!

So many wonderful people are putting themselves out there and voicing their opposition to this attempt at a coup....

Now - David Frum last night (you are going to have to talk me down) said - Frum "There may be security risks in the White House right now" - Now I ask you, is he trying to change the narrative...rather than focus on the substance of the leaks.....I was beside myself when I heard him say it....

And Lawrence O'Donald right after. I do sometimes get aggravated with the pre-story, but it eventually becomes relevant. Her researchers are awesome, and she is one very smart cookie.

On the east coast she's on live at 9 PM. Since she's live in the east they can't show her any earlier out west.

I suppose that she could record the show earlier in the day, but then it would miss any late breaking events.
