WTF???!!! Rachel is falling all over herself,
giving Greta Van Sustern a tongue bath right now on Rachel's show. Is Rachel afraid that she's about to lose her (Rachel's) job given that MSNBC continues its full-bore charge to become another RW source? It's beyond embarrassing to watch Rachel proclaim her undying friendship for Van Sustern with her the best thing that's happened to TV commentary since Edward R. Murrow.

Hack. I didn't always agree with there but she's a smart cookie. I think Rachel values her as aa friend along with some of the other females who've managed to hit the big time. I think that's what you're seeing in Rachel's enthusiasm. Girls have to stick together ya know.

15. I want to wait and see what Greta does
I'm not a fan and have thought of her as right wing, but the rest of Rachel's show tonight was great. I am willing to see what happens if Greta doesn't have to answer to the right wing ding-dongs at Fox. I really don't expect much, but I am willing to wait and see before I bash her too much.
BTW, I hope you watched the first part of Rachel's show about The National Enquirer's headlines the last few weeks before the election and now after the election. The lies they told were spectacular and all for the benefit of Trump, not necessarily because they don't like Hillary. Makes me think they'd have made up equally terrible headlines about any Dem candidate. We are going to have to fight this kind of stuff... and get really GOOD at it. I've recently tried to stick to C-Span for info or PBS, but I do generally like Rachel's show most of the time. |

37. Along with some of the other things that were done at the same time
it might have swayed those on the fence, and there actually were some moderate Republicans considering voting against Trump. I think these attacks were planned and coordinated. Look at the short time between the WikiLeaks leak and when stories came out about #pizzagate and Podesta and his brother kidnapping Madeline McCann... oh, and spirit eating for god's sake. There's too much coincidence for me, but I'm a believer when it comes to Republicans and what they're capable of with their dirty tricks.

Rachel's show gets, by far, the highest ratings of any show on MSNBC. She's not going anywhere.
