Rachel devoted a lot of quality time to Bernie tonight!

Wish I could post a video but I doubt if it's available yet. I'm tickled that she's giving Bernie such positive attention. I wrote to her a while back to encourage her to cover him and she did the next day! I doubt if my plea influenced her but it was cool that she did and is still doing so.

I am glad he's getting some attention. No doubt his strong showing in Iowa and Minnesota has something to do with it. I think it's more likely Rachel read your plea though than paid attention to the political rallies.

11. Rachel was the one who exposed this creepy cult a few years ago. Her coverage was excellent

and airc, shocked most people who watched it.

I cannot imagine that anyone who delved into that story would not be concerned that anyone running for office has any connection to them.

I didn't see her show tonight, might catch it later but I'm glad she's giving Bernie exposure.

still seems like she discounted any chance of him winning. It's still early but coverage like this is great.

tone as she presented the news about the attendance at rallies. I've followed Rachel for years and am familiar with her nuances.
