I know what you are reacting to, but I see it differently. She is telling the most important story better than anyone. And I am glad to put up with all the commercials because that gives her the power to tell the truth that other pundits fear.

And she is willing to go there. She is talking about all the people Putin is murdering and how corrupt Russia is and then tying it back to Trump and his minions and connecting the dots better than anyone else.

As she gets closer and closer to powerful corruption there will be more and more power trying to get rid of her.

And she is also showing the extent of the power and its comprehensive nature. As mentioned, no one else is doing this as well I know of. This will help the country and dem party a lot.

And as her viewership increases so will her commercial power which also gives her more power.

So this is a snowball rolling up hill in a very needed way.

Remember, for all the good Obama did and he was an honest guy and a great administrator, but he avoided confronting plutocrats about income inequality and the guilty bankers and torturers. In fact, he told the bankers he was there to protect them from the public :"Michael Lewis's book".

Obama never arrested one guilty banker or pursued any of the treasonous behavior of Bush or the torturing. He just stopped it all. He was a crack administrator but not transformational. Rachel is transformational.

Rachel is the total package, brains and courage. Just like Bernie and Warren. She is a warrior and leader, so I am willing to overlook when she oversells something for increased readership.

Her message is profound and needed.

JMNSHO-lol. Cheeers.

< I find Maddow to be far to long winded and slow to get to the point>

Same here. I have told my wife many times (I tend to repeat myself) Maddow should be on a 30 minute* show.
Most tv/videos have way too much "filler" for me so that is why I avoid most all of them. I enjoy reading and even in my seventies can read like the wind so am able to keep up with tons of info including the 100 to 150 posts a day here on SI. I imagine the learned inhabitants here feel the same.

*30% is commercials.
