>How America's wonkiest anchor cut through the chaos of the Trump administration and became the most trusted name in news
When did you realize that despite all of her idiosyncrasies, Rachel is a very sharp, well-spoken individual that cares about reporting on TRUTH. Yes, I said "truth". Something drumpf supporters know nothing about!

WHAT A REAL JOURNALIST LOOKS LIKE!
>Launched nearly a decade ago, The Rachel Maddow Show, hosted by an openly-gay Rhodes scholar who came to TV news by way of progressive Air America Radio, is now the number-one prime-time news program on cable television. It's a significant though not totally improbable achievement for a show whose mantra, "Increase the amount of useful information in the world," has taken on new resonance in the Trump era, when a single presidential tweet can receive breathless coverage by the mainstream press, and journalism itself is denounced as "fake news." Though Trump's so-far chaotic presidency has helped boost cable ratings across the board, no program has benefited as much as Maddow's, whose audience has almost tripled, from 849,000 nightly viewers in 2014 to more than 2.3 million today, and growing. In mid-May, The Rachel Maddow Show was second only to the NBA playoffs as the most-watched program on cable, period.
>the most trusted name in news
Even lefties were left puzzled and embarrassed by the Trump tax return fiasco.
>In person, Maddow is taller than she appears on TV – a lanky five feet eleven – and also less feminine, her contact lenses replaced by chunky black glasses, mascara wiped off. Maddow's one concession to the female norms of TV news is agreeing to wear makeup, which she does for precisely one hour and 15 minutes per day. Off camera, she dresses in grungy attire, which on an afternoon before Memorial Day means Levi's, a beige T-shirt, a hole-ridden thrift-shop denim shirt, and camouflage Adidas Shell Toes. "They're invisible," she says about her sneakers, though she could be talking about herself. At 44, Maddow is naturally, neutrally pretty, which is a positive if one's aim is to let the words, not the image, make the point. "I have no visual-presentation goals for myself," she says in her office at 30 Rock. A long rack of near-identical dark suit jackets hangs on one wall. "It's on purpose. You line me up with Lawrence O'Donnell and Chris Hayes and Brian Williams, and we've all got a very similar shade of the same haircut."
>As is true for many journalists, Maddow's office is sort of a mess, with manila file folders stacked on the floor, and printouts of various stories she's keeping track of piled on her desk and along the windowsill. "This is how I'm going to die one day – crushed under a pile of paper," she says, giving me a quickie tour of her various tchotchkes: the Trout of North America wall calendar that she quickly flips to May (it was still on March); her Vladimir Putin nesting dolls; a G.I. Joe, still in its box; a metal Tabasco tub housing her Emmy, which is lying sideways, a tiny bit of gold orb emerging from the top. On the whiteboard behind Maddow's desk is a running, if haphazardly diagrammed, list of the stories she's thinking about, with the most important circled in blue marker. Perpetual favorites like Flynn and Trump's ex-campaign manager Paul Manafort hold a prominent place. Another name floating in its own blue circle: Viktor Medvedchuk, "a superclose-to-Putin oligarch" whose name recently turned up in intercepts for having had contact with the Trump campaign. "But we haven't talked about the fact that he was [also] one of the first individuals sanctioned by the U.S. government after the Crimea thing," says Maddow. "And so what is that guy doing talking to the Trump campaign during the campaign when he is one of the sanctioned individuals?"
>Maddow goes on like this, describing the other stories she finds fascinating, or more specifically, pinpointing the most under-reported, yet possibly important, facet of the stories that interest her, and then drilling down, which can be riveting, as well as exhausting. But that's just how Maddow's brain works. "What's remarkable about Rachel is that she actually is that brilliant," says her senior producer Laura Conaway, who has worked for Maddow since 2009. "The thing about this show is it starts with digesting an enormous amount of information every day, and then basically throwing it all out and saying, 'OK, that's what everybody already knows.' It requires attention, and Rachel is supremely gifted at paying attention."
The most trusted name in Fake News, sure.
She was just trying to hold people accountable. I respect her tenacity.
Please delete that racist meme. We're trying to have a big boy discussion here...
>white people.
How does Rolling Stone exist as a journalism outlet when they published a fake rape hoax.
Barf
>She
I am a person of colour, and of Asian descent. It's not racist if I meme it.
Checkmate, faggot.
Who?
Rachel Maddow is a goon of the neoliberals. Fuck her.
Someone infinitely smarter than you.
bigot.
people make mistakes sometimes!
you're the bigot for using gendered pronouns, fuck off cis scum
From the people who brought you the UVA Rape scandal, comes an exclusive interview with the person who brought you Trump's tax return!
Why would they interview a CIS WHITE MALE
Try talking to bigots more often and maybe we would not be seeing the problems we see these days. You fuckers always preach to the choir, and never to those who's hearts you are supposedly trying to change. Grow up.
I have the same faggy glasses. I got them for about $50. God damn why are the poor folks glasses fashionable now.
One of the ugliest human beings.
Robert maddow can always be counted on to deliver the goods.
Election night 2016, I frequently tuned in to watch her shock and awe meltdowns.
Her shows that followed in the week were comedy gold. "This is your country now" comedy with her twitching head and facial ticks.
So funny.
I'm sure some of her audience numbers are those tuning in for the comedy.
And she's dumber than a sack of hammers when it comes to arguing a point. So the learning on her show is next to nothing.
By all means she belongs on rolling stone next to the fake rape story and al gore expose....All fraudulent in their own way.
>JUST fake news my shit up
Being this retarded
She looks like low T bieber, he was on their too, who the fuck pays attention to (((RS))) anymore? It's obviously been taken over by (((jewfags)))
That kikebeast isn't human, user.
If 'she' cares so much about the truth, why does she lie so much?
That's Elvis Costello
The fallacy that is your gif shows your retardation.
Is that Noah Wyle?
>corporate media invents phrase to libel alternative media
>alternative media makes it their own and turns it back on the corporate media
>corporate media cries "RACIST!" in response
JUST
...
>dumber than a sack of hammers when it comes to arguing a point
I'll never forget her reaction when a guest call bullshit on the gender pay gap, something to the effect of:
"Wait.. You don't believe me? You're... different um... That's like an important difference between us"
Who's this dude?
So bourgeoisie champagne socialist can larp as prolitariate. Have you seen the $450 jeans with simulated dirt?
Did sean hannity dye his hair???
They can't handle it
This fuckin dude is so annoying
You spelled sneering and sniveling wrong.
Ralph Macchio looks great these days.
The arrogant look of supposed intelligence is fucking laughable. Nothing would make me happier than to stomp on her larynx.
I'd let Rachel Maddow gargle my balls.
Looks like a low T man. One of the "vlogbrothers" comes to mind.
Rolling Stone has been absolute shit for as long as I've been alive. Does anyone but retard boomers even think it relevant?
...
now you're making a homophobic remark? man... being a bigot must suck.
Does anyone on Sup Forums even watch The Rachel Maddow show?
It's really not that bad.
I really like how she sets up the story.
For example:
youtube.com
It's nice to see that Jarvis Cocker finally had a decent shave but there was no need to change his name.
she's a rhodes scholar... how about you?
let me guess, you have a degree in eating cheetos?
>wonkiest
How one of the 20 approved talking heads got one of her ((friends)) to talk to ((friend)) to get her an interview in one of the five official Talking Head Interview Magazines implying she's the best talking head: and no one cared
Pathetic nepotistic Jew industry. Maddow is a nobody on a dying network no one watches. Political commentary channels on Youtube get 10x her viewers.
>How America's wonkiest anchor cut through the chaos of the Trump administration and became the most trusted name in news
Someday she'll find those tax returns that prove Trump is a Russian puppet
Until then, I'll be counting the number of times she says Russia in every show.
>rhodes scholar
user everyone in harvard basically gets it.
so your saying that guy who looks like bill nyes cousin is smart? well i can believe that after all he is wearing glasses. though he never use to
*Lick me. Lick me now*
>prime-time news program on cable television.
5 qualifiers before you hit television
She was very accurate in determining trump couldn't win, right?
That uni shit is meaningless, faggot. Nobody cares about it, especially when they can simply talk to you and discern your idiot status for themselves on the spot.
She's #17. Tucker is #21 in target demo.
Anyone notice The Five's and esp. Hannity's ratings are sinking like a rock?
Hannity (#51) isn't even top 50 in target demo. Yikes! The Five is #42.
You do a pretty good job of portraying a stupid leftist.
Kudos, may you receive many (you)s.
She had a good run back when she could monopolize the flow information. Times changed. She has failed to adapt, along with the rest of her dinosaur buddies.
I think perhaps she hesitated to gloat the demise of Roger Ailes and Bill O'Reilly because with that came the realization that she was not immune from the asteroid.

go neck yourself
crap b8 is crap b8
KYS
She is a low skill journalist, her ideology fits the job requirement. And shes a dyke. Having a mental disability is a huge plus for liberals
Obvious shill

My cheeto eating degree is worth more in the job market than a degree in African American studied. Stay mad cunt.
Ron Reagan is looking good these days
That's normal retard. When you have a Democrat president Republican viewership goes up because they're butthurt. When you have a Republican president, democrat viewership goes up because they're butthurt. A lot of Republicans are tuning out of the news atm because they're fine with whatever Trump is doing.
Fail
She's number 1 on cable news TV right now retard see
Funny, where was this bitch when Obama was bombing 5 additional countries? Licking his asshole like he was the true son of Kek.
"shill"
>someone who disagrees with me
I expect you'll rest easier with the knowledge that you have CNN to remind us plebs we're neither qualified nor legally permitted to read/interpret leaked emails.
I'm assuming your undergrad is in mountain dew economics?

Literally fake news.
>SO

LET IT FLOW!
nobody gives a single fuck ugly jew dyke
This dyke makes me homophobic.
Rolling Stone magazine gave The Jonas Brothers higher scores then the gave some Radiohead albums. They can't be trusted in any capacity.
They also like to fabricate rape stories and then vehemently deny they did it up until the situation reaches critical mass after which they only apologize begrudgingly and with sincerity whatsoever.
That's a beautiful man.
No homo.
Her true colors.
youtube.com
Can someone give me a quick run down about this strange little man?
The only reason why her ratings and views are up is because you have a republican president.
Republican president=Angry Democrats
Democratic president=Angry Republicans
Angry Democrats=More views for liberal shows (Someone like Maddow) and less veiws and lower ratings for conservative shows (Someone like Hannity)
Angry Republicans=Just like having angry democrats except opposite
>Just wait for a democrat to get elected (Probably in 2024) and her ratings will sink like a rock along with other liberal shows. Conservative shows will then soar back up.
>#1 in cable news
>Trusted
Still waiting on Hillary's landslide.. WMDs too if you could find the time.
Better than gender studies
Men are terrible. That's why I'm transmissioning into one now.
t. Madcow
He's a shill who like dick and Rachel maddow
He also is blue pilled by the Jews and probably cucks for muslims and terrorists
Rachel Maddow proved that you CAN make $30,000/day spewing conspiracy theories. She should inspire some hope on this board.
Taken over? She's a jew fag
This. She's an establishment propagandist.
