Good gawd Rachel-Get to the NEWS!

Buncha mens mag covers-wtf & I don't care.

Ok-its part of the porn payoff and again-could have been done in a sentence without the damn buildup. And not really top of the news worthy-

Less chat more splat!

How Pecker went to great effort to cover for Trump. I get it now after seeing the dozen covers of men.

So, who the hell cares?

Why do we never hear from the former People Magazine reporter who has an ongoing NYC suit against Trump that has progressed to the point of depositions--which will eventually involve Trump?

Big news on Manafort trial should be getting more attention along with the Stone aid's contempt charge.

And a fine fart show it is. Stephanie Miller!

Seriously the cover thing was totally not necessary and wasted valuable air time.
And I pretty much wait all day for something less than gag worthy....Still waiting.

she just had to share it. When you're at the top of your game as she is, you're allowed segments like this now and then...

Everyone I know has some bald or balding guy that they love.

Please don't do that again, Rachel. It's hurtful.

Judge Ellis spent hour after hour of sealed stuff.

traitortrump is hiding.

Whatever Ellis is hiding, Rachel's expert, by his own admission, went 'nerdy' on her.

She may want, like many of us, to get away from all this. Up into the hills of Western Mass, may well be on her way right now.

[That being said, tonight's show was much less on the 'pinball news cycle' excitement that hit a lot of bells and whistles yesterday.]

Time for her to pick up the pace. If I want it spelled out I will watch Lawrence.
I prefer Chris Hayes, he lets his quests talk, too.

So many supposed bombshells that fizzle, like trump’s tax return.

But, she’s earned her chair and show.

Geez Louise, guys cut her a break.

Her show is currently the top rated program in ALL of cable - news and entertainment. She is beating Hannity.

There's a reason for that - she is brilliant.

So her first segment was less than earth shattering and indeed lackluster.

It's Friday night.

Let's all thank our lucky stars that she is on the air.

We can only take so much slam-in-the-face news. Tonight was fun and I like some of her sidebar stories. Remember, all of this is part of a tapestry. One day we may be able to view it in its entirety. At that point we will say two things: “Did this really happen?” and “Thank god it is over.” Also, think how much fun future students are going to have writing term papers.

How she talks to us like we are mentally impaired school children. Watching Cuomo...but he's obnoxious too.

Sick of all if them. Until they can figure out how to duel with trump on information sharing (i.e. his effective propaganda machine) ...not gonna watch.

I love all the little details, some of it is really fascinating and well researched. I hope she doesn't change, much better than Anderson Cooper or Cuomo.

and brings in all the threads of a story to show us how we got to where we are today. The history lesson is the best part of her show. If and when there is a news mini-series on the tRump fiasco, she should narrate it.

but I tend to watch her in rerun, 3 hours later, when I'm more mellow and in my pjs.
When she repeats everything 3 times, it helps to put me to sleep.
