(10,893 posts)But she's definitely among our most valuable journalists. I respect her because she seems to have a little bit of credibility even among people who are not liberals. She can allow guests of different political persuasions to share their opinions and still win the argument without interrupting them and shouting over them. And on each of her shows, Rachel can thoroughly discuss a given topic in detail and really show how things work.
Another admirable aspect of her journalism is that she isn't afraid to shed light on politicians who work against the interests of everyday people and equality, even if the person has a "D" besides their name.
The Left is very lucky to have someone as brilliant as her on our side against the likes of Fox News and Rush Limbaugh.

(40,416 posts)Unfortunately for Rachel, it's Oprah "I've never heard of any woo-woo I won't support" Winfrey.
Oprah does exactly what Fox News does, she makes people stupid.
Rachel makes people smart. Kudos to Rachel, fuck you Oprah.

(42,001 posts)That turn this weekend and her double down tonight were wonderful to behold. She's not snarky, she doesn't engage with bullshit, she has research to back up what she says and she has a great habit of starting her arguments with a point she and her opponent agree on and leading them right into her lair. Love it.
