How on Earth did Rachel M. screw THIS one up?

[Ken Burch]

On her show tonight, she identified THIS guy as "Senator Angus King, I-Maine":



How do you even...?

[revbones]

1. She was much more interested in demeaning Bernie than accuracy. nt

[dchill]

2. Yep. That's how it happens.

[revbones]

3. The giggling while talking about Bernie was beyond the pale. nt

[Chicago1980]

9. For fucks sake, she corrected it issue.

[Peregrine Took]

4. The thmartest girl in the history of tv???

Nah...you must have misheard her. jj

[Ken Burch]

5. Well, she admitted they'd mixed up the names a few minutes later. n/t,

[No Vested Interest]

8. Actually, they mixed up the photos. The label was correct - it said

Sen. King, ME.
I didn't hear the correction/apology - I had moved on to another network.
However, I don't blame Rachel - it was likely an assistant - clueless- who found and chose the photo of Rep. King from NY.

[Ken Burch]

14. You're right...it was the photos, not the names.

n/t.

6. Rachel has lost all credibility

I haven't watched her in months.

[Chicago1980]

10. Why? Because she isn't brown nosing Bernie?

[Gene Debs]

16. No, because she's brown nosing Hillary.

[SoapBox]

18. Exactly.

I at a minimum expect her to report fairly.

Instead she blatantly shills for Hill.

She lost ALL credibility.

[Adrahil]

23. Then you aren't watching.

She has frequently been critical, and supportive of BOTH candidates. When reporting breathlessly about the size of Bernie's crowd, she has said, "can you feel the Bern?" At least two timea while I've watched. She had a whole segment a week or so ago about how competitive Bernie is after being dismissed by so many.

But in Bernie land, if you say anything nice about Clinton, or questioning Nernie's path to the nomination, then you are in the tank for Hillary.

[moondust]

7. I noticed it immediately.

As soon as they put up the graphic. I was kind of surprised that she came back and acknowledged it after they had finished the segment.

[cui bono]

11. It's not as if she herself did it. Someone who works behind the scenes screwed up.

Now if you want to complain about how she kept repeating how many senators had endorsed Hillary and that Bernie just got his first senate endorsement, rant on. She just can't help herself. It's so disgusting.

[Bluenorthwest]

27. Ah but she runs a Non Union show whose budget goes mostly to the anchor chair and that's

why you see errors that glare and also why there is so much repetition in her material, she's got fearful second rate staff and no one on it is her peer. An excellent anchor always has a counterpart producer that shapes and checks the work. Rachel has Rachel and Rachel says Rachel's writing is perfect and her staff is good enough.

[Myrina]

29. ^ This ^

[cui bono]

30. She makes $7mn/year and has a non-union production???

How does MSNBC get away with that?

.

[madamesilverspurs]

12. "She" didn't select the wrong picture.

One of her staffers did, but she took responsibility for it. There was no foul, no offense, and both Kings likely got a chuckle out of it.

Stuff happens. Not everything is an evil conspiracy. Time to get a grip, kiddies.

[Ken Burch]

15. I wasn't calling it a "conspiracy".

Just couldn't understand how anyone on a show like that, even a staffer, could get those two guys mixed up. You'd think they'd have one of those posters with a picture of everybody in the House and the Senate up on the wall in the office.

[Frank Cannon]

26. It could have been worse.

It could have been this guy.

[Ken Burch]

28. Or this guy:

(at least he's FROM, Maine, though).

[JoeOtterbein]

13. She also thinks Establishment = Progressive!

[cantbeserious]

17. RM - A New Member Of The 1% - What More Would One Expect

eom

[silvershadow]

19. I caught it immediately. nt

[erlewyne]

20. Rachel Maddow, The DNC, and MSNBC are no longer credible.

Their boat has sunk ...

[Justice]

21. Waiting for Hillary to be blamed for this.

LOL.

[Stellar]

22. Did you watch after the commercial break...

when she admitted to 'all' the errors in that segment, or were you just looking for something to dump all over Maddow. She was always good at correctng her mistakes, if not her opinions.

They at MSNBC probably got some new help from FOX 'snews' ...seeing that they are trying to attract more Republic0n eyes to there show.

[Ken Burch]

24. I noted it in this thread that she owned the blooper.

(see post #5).

[Paladin]

25. And you see how much good it did, with certain DU participants.

If you people don't like Rachel, just stop watching her. These non-stop critiques are tiresome.
