    So no one bothered to verify it before going to airtime? Lol.

    Truly a mark of journalistic integrity!

    Maddow was never "the head of MSNBC." Best ratings? Yes. Multiple Emmy awards? Yes. But the head, or CEO? Nope.

    Nearly always. I especially like it when she presents something from our history and shows the parallels to current events. She's a stellar researcher. I read her book, "Bag Man," about the shameful corruption of Spiro Agnew. I heard they're making a movie based on Maddow's book.

    They absolutely we’re far left, which more and more modern day liberals, especially in universities mimic closely.

    She looks at history, misinterprets both then and now and draws comparisons that aren’t rational lol.

    Funny how that crap information she constantly receives that’s unverified is put out as truth before verification and only when it goes in a direction the left likes lol.

    It’s well documented on her show lol, you can watch it and see her push opinion as fact, misrepresentation as truth.

    Has anyone else noticed how Rachel maddow strongly resembles the karate kid?

    The original... Not the new woke version.

    Not nearly as much as them going to press with information without verifying it first but I thought it was pretty funny.

    Fair enough. I wouldn't want to look it up either if I were you.

    Kudos on resorting to personal attacks though.

    Nice spin. At least you didn't deny MSNBC is about as biased as you can get.

    They don’t have to. But why would you choose to go from looking like that to that?

    She’s obviously trying to make a statement about not needing to look pretty to succeed. Well that’s cool but don’t then get butthurt when people point out you looked good and now you look like a baked potato.

    Because that’s what she was going for.

    "The head of MSNBC"???? WTF?

    MSNBC chooses to report and comment on the TRUTH of subjects of political interest to the left and SHOULD BE of interest to everyone. It's the truth they air that makes them "biased" in addition to the fact that they don't report on news like national go-cart races and sports.

    So I notice you shy away from the challenge to find anything that's a lie that MSNBC has produced.

    I haven’t listened though am familiar with the period. I hadn’t thought about it but that knowledge could driving my interest in the funding of J6. Essentially, who are modern day Ford, Lindbergh, etc?

    Unfortunately, our system is designed to hide “speech” making it difficult to discern. Something we definitely need to fix. The notion one could utilize a system to accumulate great wealth to utilize that wealth to actively work against that system shouldn’t sit well with anyone.

    Then again we’re in a dangerous period where it’s difficult for many to discern what culminated in J6 was plain wrong and are advocating for it to continue. Hopefully calmer heads will prevail.

    "Freedom-loving"??? You mean like taking control of women's bodies? You mean like banning and burning over 1,600 books in schools and libraries? You mean like taking action against union organizing? You mean like announcing a plan to end Social Security and Medicare? You mean like opposing price negotiations on drugs? You mean that kind of "freedom"??

    Yeah, like how to improve on the 1940 attempt by Republicans to stage a fascist coup and end US democracy? Do you think you'll succeed with Trump this time?

    Yeah, policies beneficial to all of society have a way of causing the right to turn fascist.

    Oh, I can answer that ..... then, as is today, the lies and trickery of the right persuade people who aren't paying close attention to support the lies and trickery of the right.

    Trump added 3 trillion to the debt. Biden's deficits have been shrinking each year. And spending isn't the cause of this current inflation. Economists agree on average that 1) about half or less of this inflation is caused by supply chain problems and the shortages caused by unemployment due to COVID over the last couple of years, which also led to the supply chain problems, and that 2) greed on the part of businesses has caused the other half or more of this inflation. See THIS for evidence from the CEOs, themselves.

    This is not Germany. Your simplistic "cause" doesn't apply to a modern, different, more complex situation.

    (Then you go on to reinforce your deflection to FDR and post WWII America of 80 years ago. :roflol: )

    That becomes pretty irrelevant when you learn the history and how the fascist US right made a very serious effort to end our system of government. And they damn near succeeded. Now they try again. And you want to distract us and deflect to the 1940s to blame Democrats falsely.
