Rachel is right, has been right, and will prevail. And we know it.

I am sick and tired of how people of all stripes have turned on her so quickly due to the publication of 3.5 pages of drivel. Barr’s summary document was a political hit job designed to do exactly what it seems to [still] be accomplishing. SQUIRREL! The narrative has been set, Trump is not guilty, nothing to see here, move on, and Rachel got your ire up for 2.5 years and is toast.

And yet, she is persisting. Ultimately, she and her team will be proven right. She has doggedly continued to question to challenge to furrow her brow and claim that nothing is adding up. We are being lied to and there is a massive cover up. I look forward to the apology from her peers, colleagues, competitors…everyone, when Trump and his family business go down.

There have been too many liberal journalists willing to throw her under the bus... shocking really, but human nature never ceases to disappoint.

Send it to Rachel website. For those that may not know, it is a secured site where people can safely leak to her, her team then vets the info and she will sometimes do a story on it. I think of the crazy stuff she likely can't use, but is real info.

The show is actually only 40 min long minus the commercials... I like the way it flows. She presents a history of a topic then how it relates to todays news... Love it...

Until I realized I could watch her show the next day on the NBC channel on my Roku.

I'll wait for the ACTUAL Mueller report to come out before judging.

Usually within an hour, some kind soul has uploaded the whole show to YouTube. Here in Australia, I watch it at about 3pm the following day. Bonus is a TRMS on a Saturday afternoon.

After the first week, Republicans were beating their chests and demanding the firing of newspeople and Chairman Schiff.

Now, after two weeks, we can add their first week's actions as an element of the obstruction of justice,case.

No wonder the Mueller grand jury is still meeting. They aren't convening just to exonerate people and not-indict someone.

They gloss over pertinent facts and appear unable to sustain their attention over time. They go for the easy and sensational headline then quickly move on to the next easy and sensational headline. We are served a banquet of journalistic junk food. Rachel's thoughtful and in-depth analysis is a very welcome change. I make it a point to listen to her program first.

But for those times we're out, I really like to watch if I'm not too tired from the activity. It's got to be a lot harder for folks where her shows run 9 pm and midnight.

maybe because I only watch Nicolle Wallace and Rachel. The rest of cable news is pretty much right wing talking points, why get upset about them? There aren't many "liberal" reporters on cable news, if I want liberal other than those 2 I listen to Sirius radio.

Why wouldn't the right attack Rachel seeing as her show has hit the top of the charts, it's what Republicans do.

I find Nicolle Wallace far more informative and she gets the best guests on her show and she doesn't take 5 minutes to ask a question or tell a story. Why isn't the right attacking Nicolle, or are they, I don't watch right wing propaganda. Rachel needs to lose the giggle when she is talking about serious issues. Other than that, I try not to miss her show, she is the 2nd best liberal cable news anchor on TV. Just kidding, both Rachel and Nicolle are great.
