Here is something about Rachael and Tweety

[upaloopa]

that bugs me greatly.

At times they act neutral as if the election is a sporting event and they are having fun watching it.

It isn't a game for us. To some it is life or death.

Rachael and Tweety could survive a Trump presidency so they can treat the election as a sporting event.

1. I hate to be dumb..but who is Tweety?

I agree about Rachel....

[moonscape]

4. Chris Matthews n/t

5. Chris Mathews he looks like tweety bird

[Dem2]

2. Tweety maybe

Your mis characterization of Rachel is just wrong, she's doing a job and it's her personality. How anybody can question her liberal credentials is ridiculous.

[upaloopa]

7. I am not questioning her liberal credentials

But some evenings I watch her and she plays both sides of the coin.

12. It's called journalism. nt

[Dem2]

17. I agree with longship ^^^

[BootinUp]

3. Agreed. Nt

[SHRED]

8. They are elites

With nothing to lose.
They are filthy rich.

10. Rachel geeks out!

I listen to TRMS every night. I rather like her. And no, I don't expect her to be a progressive parrot every second. Nor do I want that. I am satisfied with her geeky demeanor and her high ethical standards as a journalist.

That's why I like her program.

BTW, it's the only MS/NBC program with an audio podcast. That's the only way I could hear it. I wish Lawrence did similar.

15. I like her also and watch her show most nights

If you get the Tunein radio app you can listen to MSMBC live.

11. They can be vaporized by nuclear blasts like the rest of us.

I don't think most people think about it anymore... or they're not truly aware of Trump's dangerous temperament somehow.

13. I understand what you're saying, but it's not just Rach & Tweet, it's all the media.

THEY want a close race and will report whatever they need to to get one. I don't think the knowingly report lies, but I'm positive the hold back on a lot of things that could make things look like the race is over. They do it partly for ratings, but I think the excitement we see is real.

14. Ideally, news media should be neutral.

As a society, we have become so used to hyperpartisan reporting, we no longer know what good reporting is.

16. I am 70 years old. I remember Edward R Murrow

We had the first TV on the block. People came to our house to watch it.

We had 15 minutes of local news and 15 minutes of national and world news. All mostly without any bias.

Back then news rooms were not revenue generators. They could afford to be objective.
