  • Garbage

    Absolute garbage of a show. This is not reporting, this is opinions and lies. She does not care about the truth, she only cares about badmouthing anybody that is not super left wing Democrat. Charlie Kirk was just assassinated and she’s continue to just criticize Trump. No discussion on a horrible political assassination.

  • Goodbye, MSNBC

    After the firing of Matthew Dowd, I cannot support anything or anyone affiliated with MSNBC. MSNBC has been on the decline for years, and this is the final nail in the coffin. I have listened faithfully to the Rachel Maddow Show for over a decade, but I cannot continue to do so anymore. If she ever decides to jump ship and leave MSNBC behind, I will consider listening to the show again. The media is absolutely complicit in the downfall of this country, and anyone still affiliated with this joke ... more

  • Maddow just putting in the time.

    I had never watched Maddow’s show, so I only know it now as a weekly podcast. But as a relative newcomer, Maddow seems to treat the once-a-week stint as an afterthought. Like she’s putting the time in so she can still get the big bucks. If you compare her type of presentation to Hayes or O’donnell, there’s really no comparison. They seem much more into their presentations.
