2. I'll take your word for it because I don't watch any of them. They preach to the choir
and the choir posts here to say, "Amen!"

6. Then what is the point, really? Why even come here if you don't want to hear the choir?
DU is becoming a toilet more and more every day.

31. With all the Obama bashing, I strongly disagree that this is the
place to hear the choir.

7. Unless you want a new preacher that speaks to another choir
you should tune in.

14. Unfortunately, only the choir hears these preachers, not the ones who need to hear
because we already believe. I won't hear anything that I cannot read posted here many, many times with links available to read. It's just my choice. Those who want to listen and watch, good for you. Besides the DU heroes are on fire every night and every night we are advised that we just have to tune in.

26. You're wrong! The congresscritters listen to Rachel and
Keith and they are the ones in the catbird seat and the ones who NEED to hear what Keith and Rachel cover.

29. I would doubt that Rachel and Keith have much influence with Senators as the big money of the
rich lobbyists.

19. Ahh, so you're the one who gets to make the rules.
I hoped one day I'd meet that person.

A suggestion: place me on "ignore" now. Pretty please? Wait, I'll go first.

20. You've got it about right..
.... about 0.00000000000000001% of the population tunes in to that show.

We're so used to being kicked around in the media that the slightest glimmer of solace is magnified 1 million fold.

It's better than nothing but it is not enough to make any kind of difference.

13. She is my favorite, wish we had a dozen more like her. She is fair, progressive, ...
exceptionally intelligent and educated and has a wonderful perspective on what is fair, not fair and states it quite well. There is so much unfair absolute crap going on in this country by the greedy and Rs. She exposes them for their outright lies and distortions. The Rs and similar have tried to turn this country into a sewer.

21. Wonderful to hear, GO RACHEL!
I was at a city commission candidate forum so I missed Rachel's show.

Just wait Faygo Kid, when you retire here you can meet all the local Dems and jump right in! :-)

27. Remember How Jon Stewart evicerated CNN for leaving political debates to go to fluff
Well Rachel did just the opposite and canceled one of her segments (I'm assuming Kent Jones) to keep that interview going.

It was truly a thing of beauty.

28. Absolutely! Enjoy it while you can...
Comcast, who is already systematically dropping MSNBC from its basic cable service, is trying to buy NBC from GE right now. If they succeed, MSNBC will soon be FoxDeux. Rachel, Keith et al. are obviously under a gag order from GE because this is a BIG story, has been for some time now, and MSNBC's folks are conspicuously NOT COVERING IT AT ALL.

Comcast has full GOP support in their battle with the FCC against Net Neutrality as well.
