2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Bernie handling Maddow! [View all]senz
(11,945 posts)40. I wish. But she works for Comcast and they call the shots.
For example, she isn't allowed to say anything about the TPP. Many months ago, when I still watched MSNBC, there was an issue of importance to progressives that she couldn't talk about (sorry I can't remember which issue unless it was when the TPP hit the headlines briefly), and she hinted at it, rolled her eyes a lot, said rather tongue in cheek that there wasn't much news that night, and I could see how hard it was for her to be muzzled.
But now she seems to have adjusted. So MSNBC got rid of Ed Schultz and recently Melissa Harris Perry, but Rachel stays on, talking a lot about Trump and shilling for Hillary.
The spirit's gone. Let's hope the money and fame are worth it.

I still hate SD's, but they're there, and until they're gone, you do what you have to do to win.

Maddow's intention was fully exposed with her gossip session with Chris Hayes. That was childish.
