Don't forget to watch Rachel tonight....

The Dossier, A TRMS special report @ 9pm ET on MSNBC

1. Thanks for the reminder!

She simply doesn't let anything fade away due to time. I really like that she keeps the story going if it needs it.

Our attention spans are stunted by the modern media who can't keep a story alive for 2 minutes before they're running after a new one.

2. She does, but the other night, I was basically just telling her to land the damn plane.

The graphic behind her said, "RIPPED UP" and (since I'd missed the very beginning of the show) I had no idea what it referred to because her reporting was very circular. Eventually, after about ten minutes, it turned out it was referring to the fact that many people in Trump's camp had wanted to "rip up" Russian sanctions at one point or another.

I like how much research she does for stories, but her audience is never going to walk away with any talking points. I don't think everything under the sun needs to be reduced to just talking points, but on the other hand, it would be good for the viewer to end up with a drilled down version of her ultimate point.

5. Yeah but she makes you the smartest person in the discussion

Because you have all the dots connected.

People will stop talking politics with you for that though, so I get your point.

7. Well, she repeats herself a lot, too.

She has a habit of re-iterating all the information just before her big wrap up.

I'm not saying I don't like her, I do, but I think she could be slightly more efficient in imparting her stories.

9. I love her but I don't always watch her for the reasons you give

She's like a good teacher that never stops giving lessons.

I take a break then I happily watch her again.

10. All those dots are what make me remember..

They make things stick in my brain, so I like them a lot.

[lunatica]

13. Me too

It's the way I tend to converse politics too.

Politics has long, long connected dots that go back decades sometimes.

I got it from my mother who connected dots that went way back in history. Nothing is isolated in politics.

11. Maybe it's just how my brain processes but I can get lost in all of the detailed minutia

I can deal with a lot of background details when I am reading something but when I am trying to absorb info, on her show, I find myself thinking - wait - didn't she already go over that bit? I wish she would state something, and then move on.

3. This better be better than the Trump Tax Return Special from earlier this year!

6. Stop it!

I don't think that was a special though.

[DemRage]

12. You likely are right

I can't recall what she called it. I just know it was 30 seconds of information jam-packed into 60 overall boring minutes.

Everyone ripped on her after that...even Colbert. Don't care to see that repeated!!

4. I have the popcorn and beer ready!

This should be good.

8. Thank you

I need something to cheer me up.

[Mrs. Overall]

14. Looking forward to it!

15. K&R -- this should be good
