Rachel may have the most important show on the air. [View All]

I have been critical of her on multiple occasions but her recent work has been so smart and so illuminating that I have to take my hat off to her. She has connected the dots on the money conspiracy that has rendered the August recess a witches brew of lies and scare tactics. Her exposition of the quantum uptick in violent rhetoric spotlighted the grave danger that the Republic is facing. Her interview with the SERE instructor was nothing short of brilliant. I can't remember the instructor's name but in responding to Rachel's insightful questioning, he pointed out that the reverse engineered torture techniques adopted by the Bush regime were designed to extract confessions not intelligence. I had never heard this point made by anyone in all the debates on how badly America lost its way under Bush/Cheney and yet once said it was so obvious.
Journalism is not dead. Investigative reporting is still possible.Should young reporters aspire to become real journalists, they should bar Mouthpiece Theater hacks from their viewing list and instead see how it is done by concentrating on Rachel. She is the real successor to the Murrows and Cronkites.
