In reply to the discussion: I don't like watching Rachel maddow [View all]dixiegrrrrl
(60,010 posts)23. I like Rachel, but I don't watch her often.
She is very good at explaining complex news to the average person.
In that respect, she IS a good news person for a lot of people.
I am much more visual, takes me just a few minutes to read that same news, so I prefer to do that.
Chris Mathews, OTOH, is unbearable to my ears, plus he interrupts his guests and loves his own voice way too much.
He is not my definition of a good news person, but then again, he is more of a commentator than news anchor.
so I avoid listening to him, problem solved.

Because she's the only one tying all the Trump-Russia threads together? Just a guess.

I'm thinking her critics don't care for "Elementary," either. Maybe not even "Columbo."
