Ya Know I love Rachael but..

[busterbrown]

Like tonight, she seems more interested in taking the middle road, careful to not show any bias,
continually pretends that this event is a big deal ( in order to keep viewers tuned in ) but rarely espouses any
progressive view points..pisses me off..

Am I wrong? If so..well......

1. She's been a Comcast employee for a while now. nt

2. Two words:

Cast

4. NO

12. So true. They both so obviously dive into their papers the second they cut to break. No chit chat,

just boom! Heads down. It's laughable.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

18. He just seems so anal and uptight. Hard to believe he

would ever lie about anything. And, now, he's going overboard
with disclaimers.

I have noticed Rachel is never herself on election nights when with all the other political talking heads. It's like someone had to have told her to mind her p's and q's. Or, maybe the others said she needed to act "right."

[Wounded Bear]

3. Meh...she's in journalist mode...

she's actually a bit like Tweety, in that she loves politics and the mechanics of it and the theater of it.

I'll give her a pass. She was trying to act unbiased tonight.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

6. Think MSNBC is trying to act like an unbiased news source and it doesn't

help them at all. They bore their base.

[ecstatic]

5. She's in anchor mode for the network, she's not hosting her own show right now.

On her own show, she can editorialize. It's probably not appropriate to show bias while delivering election results.

9. ^^^THIS^^^

[frogmarch]

10. Yes, exactly. nt

[dmr]

13. Yes. I think they gave a good balance tonight. I appreciate that.

I know where Rachel stands. She did well, they all did.

I wasn't going to watch but I thought I'd just tune in briefly. Ended up watching the whole thing. Time passed so quickly.

The best moment of the night was when they cut off that insufferable Cruz & went straight to Hillary.

[AgadorSparticus]

14. Well said!! Nt

[annabanana]

17. Yes.

I look forward to tonight's show.

7. I was a major fan of Rachel's for a long time . . .

. . .but at some point in the last two or three years -- and I can't exactly say when -- her show became, I don't know, stale or something. I just don't find her nearly as compelling as she used to be. I don't know if it was the purchase of MSNBC by Comcast that has driven the change, but that certainly wouldn't surprise me.

[Stinky The Clown]

8. Hard core right wingers sign her paycheck.

She's still whoi she is, but she has most assuredly softened her edges.

[2naSalit]

11. I think it's that and

Bill Wolff left the show. That's when I saw the change and didn't like it much. Then Comcast took over and she has had to curb her enthusiasm quite a bit. I can't help but think she's counting the days to end of her current contract... she must have a mortgage to pay. I wonder, too, where she might end up if she did bail on Comcast.

[SickOfTheOnePct]

15. She was there as a news anchor

Not an editorialist. I would expect her to play down the middle of the road.

I watch commentary shows for commentary, but when I'm watching news, I neither expect nor want bias.

[countingbluecars]

16. Think Flint

She does make a difference most of the time.
