WHAT A REAL JOURNALIST LOOKS LIKE!

>Launched nearly a decade ago, The Rachel Maddow Show, hosted by an openly-gay Rhodes scholar who came to TV news by way of progressive Air America Radio, is now the number-one prime-time news program on cable television. It's a significant though not totally improbable achievement for a show whose mantra, "Increase the amount of useful information in the world," has taken on new resonance in the Trump era, when a single presidential tweet can receive breathless coverage by the mainstream press, and journalism itself is denounced as "fake news." Though Trump's so-far chaotic presidency has helped boost cable ratings across the board, no program has benefited as much as Maddow's, whose audience has almost tripled, from 849,000 nightly viewers in 2014 to more than 2.3 million today, and growing. In mid-May, The Rachel Maddow Show was second only to the NBA playoffs as the most-watched program on cable, period.

>the most trusted name in news

Even lefties were left puzzled and embarrassed by the Trump tax return fiasco.

>In person, Maddow is taller than she appears on TV – a lanky five feet eleven – and also less feminine, her contact lenses replaced by chunky black glasses, mascara wiped off. Maddow's one concession to the female norms of TV news is agreeing to wear makeup, which she does for precisely one hour and 15 minutes per day. Off camera, she dresses in grungy attire, which on an afternoon before Memorial Day means Levi's, a beige T-shirt, a hole-ridden thrift-shop denim shirt, and camouflage Adidas Shell Toes. "They're invisible," she says about her sneakers, though she could be talking about herself. At 44, Maddow is naturally, neutrally pretty, which is a positive if one's aim is to let the words, not the image, make the point. "I have no visual-presentation goals for myself," she says in her office at 30 Rock. A long rack of near-identical dark suit jackets hangs on one wall. "It's on purpose. You line me up with Lawrence O'Donnell and Chris Hayes and Brian Williams, and we've all got a very similar shade of the same haircut."

>As is true for many journalists, Maddow's office is sort of a mess, with manila file folders stacked on the floor, and printouts of various stories she's keeping track of piled on her desk and along the windowsill. "This is how I'm going to die one day – crushed under a pile of paper," she says, giving me a quickie tour of her various tchotchkes: the Trout of North America wall calendar that she quickly flips to May (it was still on March); her Vladimir Putin nesting dolls; a G.I. Joe, still in its box; a metal Tabasco tub housing her Emmy, which is lying sideways, a tiny bit of gold orb emerging from the top. On the whiteboard behind Maddow's desk is a running, if haphazardly diagrammed, list of the stories she's thinking about, with the most important circled in blue marker. Perpetual favorites like Flynn and Trump's ex-campaign manager Paul Manafort hold a prominent place. Another name floating in its own blue circle: Viktor Medvedchuk, "a superclose-to-Putin oligarch" whose name recently turned up in intercepts for having had contact with the Trump campaign. "But we haven't talked about the fact that he was [also] one of the first individuals sanctioned by the U.S. government after the Crimea thing," says Maddow. "And so what is that guy doing talking to the Trump campaign during the campaign when he is one of the sanctioned individuals?"

>Maddow goes on like this, describing the other stories she finds fascinating, or more specifically, pinpointing the most under-reported, yet possibly important, facet of the stories that interest her, and then drilling down, which can be riveting, as well as exhausting. But that's just how Maddow's brain works. "What's remarkable about Rachel is that she actually is that brilliant," says her senior producer Laura Conaway, who has worked for Maddow since 2009. "The thing about this show is it starts with digesting an enormous amount of information every day, and then basically throwing it all out and saying, 'OK, that's what everybody already knows.' It requires attention, and Rachel is supremely gifted at paying attention."

I have the same faggy glasses. I got them for about $50. God damn why are the poor folks glasses fashionable now.

One of the ugliest human beings.

Robert maddow can always be counted on to deliver the goods.
Election night 2016, I frequently tuned in to watch her shock and awe meltdowns.
Her shows that followed in the week were comedy gold. "This is your country now" comedy with her twitching head and facial ticks.
So funny.

I'm sure some of her audience numbers are those tuning in for the comedy.

And she's dumber than a sack of hammers when it comes to arguing a point. So the learning on her show is next to nothing.

By all means she belongs on rolling stone next to the fake rape story and al gore expose....All fraudulent in their own way.

It's really not that bad.

I really like how she sets up the story.

For example:

How one of the 20 approved talking heads got one of her ((friends)) to talk to ((friend)) to get her an interview in one of the five official Talking Head Interview Magazines implying she's the best talking head: and no one cared

Pathetic nepotistic Jew industry. Maddow is a nobody on a dying network no one watches. Political commentary channels on Youtube get 10x her viewers.

>>129914426

You do a pretty good job of portraying a stupid leftist.

Kudos, may you receive many (you)s.

She had a good run back when she could monopolize the flow information. Times changed. She has failed to adapt, along with the rest of her dinosaur buddies.

I think perhaps she hesitated to gloat the demise of Roger Ailes and Bill O'Reilly because with that came the realization that she was not immune from the asteroid.

The only reason why her ratings and views are up is because you have a republican president.
Republican president=Angry Democrats
Democratic president=Angry Republicans
Angry Democrats=More views for liberal shows (Someone like Maddow) and less veiws and lower ratings for conservative shows (Someone like Hannity)
Angry Republicans=Just like having angry democrats except opposite
>Just wait for a democrat to get elected (Probably in 2024) and her ratings will sink like a rock along with other liberal shows. Conservative shows will then soar back up.
