no she doesn't. you perceive that she does and despise her for that, when simply not preferring to watch/listen to her eould suffice. you are entitled to hold and express your feelings, and i am entitled to find thrm bizarre and express that. but i also repeat, "no she doesn't." she doesn't shill fo4 anyone. she accurately reports and honestly analyzes the news. understanding that a candidate who isn't ideal is not only preferable to a candidate who is a monstet, surrounds himself with monsters and ibeys a monster whose obstructions appear to be "destriloy america any way you can" does not make her a shill, and neoliberalism isn't even relevant right now (i have my own ideas about that, mostly that neoliberalism is a made-up thing and at any rate progressives are changing the democratic partly at a steady clip, which is a good thing). but by all means despise whom you will. i despise people who deliberately destroy democracy. rachel maddow, right or wrong in her thinking, agreeing with you, with me or with whomever or with no one, is in no waya democracy-destroyer, the supporter of democracy-destroyers, or in any way a despicable person.

@genessa Say what you want. When she was on Air America, she supported progressives and criticized corporate establishment Dems. On MSNBC she criticizes progressives as soon as they threaten to get power within the Dem Party or get elected prez. So it's clear she changed her tune on what political side of the spectrum she supported over the other when she changed networks. If that's not selling out, as they said in the Sixties, I don't know what is. I have never sold out, politically or to get a job where I denied who I was or what my politics, are. That's why I despise those that do, simply so they can get more perks, more money, and be higher status in America. Feel free to think different and suit yourself, but I am proud of who I am and my friends are the same as me, they never sold out. I could not be friends with someone who did and had no regrets about it because that would mean they put money and status above all else.

Shills? No way, I don't think that at all, and I always have reservations. Been watching her for years and I've never seen her falter from some of the best reporting and analysis in politics these days. She and her team have done some of the best investigative stories on MSNBC. She's authentically intelligent, perceptive, thoroughly knowledgable of what she speaks and has more honest integrity than just about anyone in her field, and it shows in her work and the work her team does for her. The greatest shame is when people of her caliber are smeared because competing with her is so difficult if not impossible.

@TomMcGiverin i have not witnessed this and i have rarely missed an episode of her show over the years. feel as you like. you are no obligated to like her. however, my observation is not only otherwise, it is the opposite. she does not smear progressives and she does not appear in any way, shape oe form to put money or statuas above honesty, integrity and truth.

I've beern a long time fan of Rachel, way back from her Air America days. I( actually altered my sleep pattern to catch her radio show.

I do miss that she used to be more fun with bits like "Ask Dr. Maddow" and "Kent Jones Now". But now when she does her mixologist bit you can watch her actually mix a drink.

She isnt' as fun to watch her on TV as it was to just listen to her on radio, but I have seen very little change in her values or in what subjects she covers.

@TomMcGiverin it isn't belief. it is observation. we may disagree about what we have observed, but your remark is dismissive. there i no "belief" involved. if i have watched 98 shows of 100 ane yiu say once she wore red,, i would find it unlikely (she always wears black). under the same circumstances if you said she wears red a lot, i could safely say you were wrong and if you responded "believe what you want" you would be adding dismisiveness (which is rude) to wrongness. my beliefs would have nothing to so with it at all.

@genessa Time to block. You appear to suffer from LastWorditis..

I'll bet they never saw her high school yearbook picture.....they'd all have been salivating. What a bunch of ignorant assholes.

@Lavergne Is this the one you are talking about?

You got that right.

And probably gets it through the Fruity fudge tunnel.

Well said!

Look at the sheep that enable them.........they are in many ways worse.

By way of answering your question, I would suggest the Pope, Donald Trump, Xi Jinping, Andrzej Duda and Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.

His mother?

Because he has slept with many of them, how else?

always look on the bright side of life

@Canndue, of course!!!

You are 100% correct! I used to go to theater parties in college. Most of the women were hot, and most of the men were gay.

LMAO... Glad I wasnt' drinking my coffee... It would have been a spit take all over my computer screen.

Same lol
