Rachel Maddow Tells Missouri GOP To Get Lost After They Whine About Her Abortion Coverage

From the article:

Rachel Maddow had a response for the Republican-led government in Missouri after they criticized her reporting on the state’s attack on women: Get lost.
“The state government in Missouri has let us know they are upset about our coverage,” the MSNBC host said. “But our reporting on this matter is correct and the state has not substantively rebutted any of it.”

The GOP is, of course, attacking women's freedom, but the essence of the GOP strategy is to deceive voters.

Oh what to do? How can we silence her? Women must not have such power!

I'm not sure what the cause of action should be, though. Maybe "definition of character"?

Way to go, Rachel. When the GOP doesnt like what you're doing, then you're doing it right.

She said her reporting had been correct, and MO has not rebutted any of it.

We need journalists to uncover these issues, follow the story, and help us discover the truth through fact. The state of MO is going to be really sorry for disrespecting their women.

This has gotten out of hand. Actually its not out of hand anymore, its yet another normalization of the bizzare. Its now a perfectly acceptable, albeit limited to Republican voters, that any criticism of one of their party's draconian policies, to turn on the news media just for the fact that they dare to even cover it.

And the goal is to frame the issues, and the range of acceptable debate, and to frighten the corporate media.

I dare anyone to find an exception to that statement that sticks.
