Folks here throw Rachel Maddow under the bus so often

[CreekDog]

that MTA had to increase service on 5th Avenue to accommodate the demand.

[Lucinda]

1. LOL

[dchill]

2. She lays down under the bus on her own hook.

We're just not picking her up.

[CreekDog]

3. Ok, but i don't think your version of the punchline is gonna win

not claiming to be an expert on these matters...

[dchill]

5. Punchlines don't win. They just are.

It takes a specious meme to win. And some voter suppression. And some election fraud.

[dogman]

4. I think she was hit by the bus when she ran out into the streets of NY

to find Hillary with her super scoop that Bernie under-reacted to the Trump interview. She should have curbed her enthusiasm maybe.

[CreekDog]

6. "super scoop"?

[dogman]

18. pooper scooper

7. The bus? No. One throws Rachel under her car service. She rides no bus.

I have seen one segment from her show in the last many years. Personally I despise Pat Buchanan and I could not abide her 'Uncle Pat' promotions. Last show of hers I saw was lots of affection for Buchanan and then she made a cocktail. Like Food Network.

It's been years. She was pretty good on radio. That was long ago.

8. Being successful = bad

got it. Pat Buchanan hasn't been on the network for like 5 years, nice.

9. She was pretty good on Air America, but I wouldn't call what she's doing now "success"

We might have different definitions, granted.

10. Best investigative reporter out there

Just recently brought the Flint lead in the water issue to the fore when nobody was talking about it. That was all her. She's been first on several issues - there's nobody else out there that pursues these issues important to liberals with the vigor that she does.

[rachacha]

13. Props to her on Flint.

[Dem2]

16. OK.

[Bluenorthwest]

14. No success = good, snot box arrogance = bad. I stopped watching because of Pat.

I have no need to go find out who her current bigot Uncle is or if Pat is still there. She lost credibility when she promoted him.

And just fyi, I know people with far more money and fame than Rachel has, the problem with her is that she thinks that having money and fame makes her better than others in spite of her fame being minimal and her wealth being middling. Success is fantastic, arrogance stinks up the room.

[Dem2]

17. Who cares what you think?

You gave up so long ago your opinion is irrelevant.

[Orsino]

11. Heh. While still capable of actual good journalism...

...she's not quite Radio Maddow anymore. I miss her less-coopted days.

[LexVegas]

12. Sexism. nt
