Related: About this forumI know many of us are anti-Rachel, but Bernie is KILLING IT!
I don't have the link to the show as it's on now. It's a little more than halfway over. So far she's being nice, SO FAR lol...she still has 15 minutes left But WOW, Bernie is as good as I've ever seen him! The whole show has been an earlier taped interview. He's going to win this thing!!

(2,968 posts)I couldn't bear to watch thinking it was going to be the same old crap.
I was waiting to see what people thought before I ventured into that
interview.

(1,000 posts)The interview was good, but Rachel was the definition of smug. In the sections between commercials and the interview, she was very clear about what she thinks of Bernie. At the end she tried very hard to blame him for protesters of a recent Hillary event. Bernie simply said he has no problem with people "protesting" as long as they don't interrupt a speaker. Rachel really tried to turn that into Bernie trying to direct the protestors.
It was a bit painful to watch.
Rachel has drunk the Comcast corporate kool aid and it is giving me indigestion.

I was so shocked she wasn't absolutely horrible to him, that that fact within itself made it seem "great" lol.
I think he got in SO many great points and he was so clear, that her smuggness seemed to miss the mark, and ironically, really made her look bad, not him. And yes, sadly she drank the kool aid a long time ago.

(713 posts)Then while "handing it over" to the guy in for Lawrence, he asked her what her take away was from the interview, and with all the amazing things Bernie said, she keyed in on the last thing which was about supporting Hillary if she is the nominee (of course). And all said in a snarkey way.
Below are just a couple things she felt the need to point out at the end. No surprises There was more, which I can't remember, but it doesn't matter anyway, because we can all see through the talking points.
She just HAD to make sure she said Hillary is the inevitable nominee..of course.
She insinuated when Bernie said it was okay with him for protesters to protest outside instead of interrupting speeches, that he "CLEARLY was saying it was okay to that OUTSIDE, again, very snarkey.
BUT, I have a feeling we're going to see LOTS of protesters at some future Clinton events. I thought it when Bernie said we all the right to protest, seeing how we have freedom of speech, and she made sure to repeat it at the end. So thanks for that Rachel!

She drives me crazy.

(14,807 posts)No matter how she went at that the only time she got away with anything was when she was alone on tv with her audience to manipulate. She has tanked. I have not watched her for months until tonight and I will not watch her ever again.

(7,006 posts)Would not bother for 5 sections to watch that Corporate MSNBlllClinton Network Shill. Not even if our beloved Bernie was there. Luckily, there are many other places to hear the rightness of Bernie on....as it will not be Rachel Who, show.
