I think Christiane Amanpour and Katty Kay are wonderful. Maddow is an imposter.

You are out of your mind. About 2 years ago, Rachel wrote a book where she highlighted the meeting of the Nazis in 1930s at Madison Square Garden. It was the first time I became aware of that. She also indicated that the Nazis were supported by a prominent millionaire, Henry Ford. In an interview she intimated that the current Nazi movement may very well have the support of another US billionaire, likely Elon Musk. She was spot on. She is one of the best and most fearless journalists out there.

How extensively did she cite Madeleine Albright's history of fascism, written over ten years ago? She covered the same ground, and much better. It's always best to exploit a niche when the actual heroes and heroines of democracy have passed on. Your ignorance doesn't exalt Maddow as an author. You sound like you're reminiscing about your prom date.

James ....You are an imposter......a fake that is unable to see or touch the truth. Ms Maddow is the real deal........not going to waste valuable time on you if that is not clear to you. Like dealing with Maga......just move on to a place and time that is of value and substance.

Take your unsubtle gay bashing over to Fox. I hear they're giving out cookies and milk for very special boys.

@ Jane in NC -- Agree. You're spot on! We're with you regarding the OP. He probably thinks we can't tell he hates gays.

He's in the wrong community for his brand of BS. He needs to take a hike back over to Dumpty's Sewer Blog!

Hahaha - thanks for that. I guess he thinks softball and Standford are interchangeable for Rhodes Scholar and Oxford.

You are a liar. She has a bachelors degree in public policy from Stanford and a PhD in political science from University of Oxford. I bet your degree is in political nonsense fro Trump University. What position did you play on the softball team there?

Any concrete arguments, perhaps?

James M. Bailey's avatar

She poses as an intellectual, but is just a careerist. She confused the concept of an acronym with that of an anagram in a recent rant (the McMahon AI vs. A1 story; the sad part is that AI is an abbreviation.) She embarrassed herself playing parlor games with Jimmy Fallon (she's no Jane Lynch.) Stop idolizing someone who is just another ignorant American journalist.

So that's a no. No, you have no concrete arguments. You have some kind of hatred for her as a person, for mysterious reasons, and that's it. That's what I thought already ;-)

Uh... how to contradict a post with no concrete arguments in the first place... ? Any idea?

What makes you think I am obliged to refute a subjective thesis? Especially in this medium? Maddow is just another mediocre person dumb people think of as a smart person.

EUWDTB's avatar

If you cannot even back up your own claim and admit it's entirely "subjective", then you're confirming my point: you're here to vent, not to have a rational, real debate (defined as: a conversation that allows us all to get closer to reality by studying objective, proven evidence and facts).

Democracy cannot survive without real debates among citizens who disagree. So feel free to use a Substack as nerdy as Krugman's to merely whine, but in that case, your attitude is definitely part of the problem, not the solution.

I was referring to your estimation of Maddow as the subjective thesis. Hang out in your neighborhood bar if you can't take your sacred cow getting gored. Stop being starstruck by poseurs on the telebision.

OK....I get it now~! You're jealous! That's OK! She's not supposed to be Jane Lynch! She is RACHEL MADDOW! Jane is a great actress. Rachel is a scholar. Whenever you thought you knew her, that's then! NOW she is AMAZING!

I am a student of political science. The stupidest people in my classes were always the journalism students trying to earn their political science degree requirements. Journalists are ignorant, and think they are fulfilling a professional tenet behaving that way. Meidas are lawyers, not journalists. Their legal reporting is their core strength. They rarely review journalists like they did Jim Acosta.
