Will Rachel Maddow face a reckoning over her Trump-Russia coverage?
The Guardian ^ | 3/29/19 | Ross Barkan

Posted on 03/30/2019 11:43:34 AM PDT by OddLane

The worst-kept secret in the liberal media ecosystem is that Donald Trump is great for business. Rebranded for the resistance, liberal newspapers gobbled up thousands of new subscribers while local outlets die across America, unable to feast on the Trump manna. On television, left-leaning stations, at long last, competed with Fox in the ratings game, fueled by a never-ending Trump obsession.

With Trump has come Russia: two years of conspiracy-mongering about whether the president, a failed real estate mogul and reality TV star consumed with dubious deal-making, conspired with the Russian government to influence the outcome of the 2016 election. Robert Mueller’s determination that no evidence exists to prove Trump and Russian colluded to fix the election has exposed, once again, the venality of A-list political punditry. At the top of the heap is none other than MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow.

Maddow, of course, was not alone. The New Yorker once ran a cover in Russian, a stunt that will age as terribly as all cold war-era red-baiting has to our 21st-century eyes. Last year, New York magazine’s Jonathan Chait baselessly posited (in another cover story) that Trump may have been a Russian “asset” since 1987. CNN was a daily carousel of Russiagate pundits...

No. She fits the EEO quota as a developmentally disabled transgender *______* fill in. They fire her or CNN dumps the Eunuch or Limon they have to go through hell looking for a perfect fit.

she’ll be rewarded for all her perfidy with
a huge book advance payment
and
probably a bigger tv contract,
speaking fees etc

all subsidized by SorozNazi type funders?

the Useful Idiots (where-ever they are deployed...in Congress, in the mass propaganda media, on campuses..) all get paid off handsomely

Maddow deserve the same crap in her face. She is clinically depressed since puberty. Her depression will only get deeper. It is up to us to remind everybody who will listen. Maddow isn’t stable and you are being lead by someone who is heavily sedated. The narrative must go from collusion to treason. Go right after Obama and remind them that Maddow is crying because she unbalanced. People need to hear something at least 6 times before it starts to sink in. Attack her mental state and Obama’s Treason.

Unlikely.

People often gravitate to and watch the news they want to believe or already believe absent fact.

There is a significant number of “orange man bad” folks out there and it is doubtful that they will leave that core belief behind over the collusion delusion. Her core audience is probably safe as is her advertising.

The part of her audience who do not fall into the “orange man bad” category are the more casual news crowd. I do think some of them are probably disgusted with the whole thing or simply sick of hearing about it so in that sense - it is a win for Trump.

The Fox News prime time shows benefited from this, but Fox has made a tragic mistake as there are many of their own die-hard viewers who are disgusted with the likes of Shep, Chris Wallace, and even Brettbear (the news side - not the opinion) who also seemed to fall for this crap in varying degrees.

In an ideal world - Tucker, Hannity, Laura, and a few others would migrate from Fox who seem to be drifting left to OAN along with some of the better Blaze contributors (please leave Beck there). That would be a money-maker!

Is there a source on the story that she is clinically depressed and has been since puberty. Might she also have cried about the possible loss of her &10,000,000 per year salary?

“the venality of A-list political punditry”

That’s a good description.

Doubt it. Malice is defined as the intentional commission of a wrongful act, absent justification, with the intent to cause harm to others; conscious violation of the law that injures another individual; a mental state indicating a disposition in disregard of social duty and a tendency toward malfeasance.

So to prove malice on the reporting of news will never happen. Just as soon as they plead the fifth, and no one can read minds, it becomes a null point.

My liberal California niece loves Maddow and would never turn on her, she would die for her.
