in classrooms and lecture rooms and homes and every fucking where.
Can't wair for the video..

One of the most disheartening things for me was learning that intelligent, democratic voters relied on facebook for political information.

I loved that she extended the discussion beyond mere projection to a complete inversion of reality where the Con and his goons accuse those who rightly accuse him of pushing fake news and engaging in corruption of being the guilty parties.
He is the personification of evil.

(which is somewhere around :22... where she was still talking at :28 before the commercial).

She riffed non-stop for 30 minutes and nailed every word.

the usage of fake news. Also having us beware of the usage of corruption.

unwatchable. I lately usually skip her show and watch Lawrence ODonnel. Sometimes she is like Tweety on cocaine.

some of us. I can’t process after awhile and suffer personality overload.

But 100 percent for her intelligence, fount of knowledge, insights, her mastery of the facts she presents. Just need post-show summaries. I’m too dim for her. Is there a tweet? So yeah, I also
sometimes find her show “unwatchable” and depend on brighter bulbs for the scoop.

too damn hyper sometimes.

I know tastes and tolerances vary but I love seeing the pieces laid out and connected. She’s smart and assumes I am as well. In the midst of a lot of short punchy back and forth she’s a relief.

for those of us without conventional TV or cable to watch her show in a timely manner.

It used to be that a couple of hours after her show aired they'd put up the entire show on the website. Anymore, it's lucky if I can watch it a day later. Or I have to already have cable to watch. I don't have cable. Sigh.

There are various services out there, all of which happily assume you already have a cable provider. I don't. I don't have a regular TV, which means I don't have a cable provider. I have the internet.

Up until about two years ago MSNBC put their programs on the internet for free a couple of hours after the broadcast. They stopped doing that, and now the shows are behind a kind of paywall, but not the kind that certain things like the NYTimes have, that I can simply subscribe to.

Here's another aspect. I pay for my internet service. I also have Hulu, Netflix, and Amazon Prime. I am only willing to pay for so many providers of content.

And while I'm sorry I can't watch Rachel in a timely manner, I just shrug my soldiers and figure that's just the way it is.

What I really want to address (and I probably should start a thread on this) is that while the vast majority of people have conventional TV in some form or another (cable, satellite, basic over the air) not everyone does.

And here's the best part about not having conventional TV. No commercials. I did have about three minutes of commercials before the above live stream loaded, which was highly annoying. Because most of what I watch over the internet has zero commercials. Which is wonderful for many reasons. Perhaps the most important of all is that I'm not importuned 20 minutes or so of each hour to buy things that will make my smarter, prettier, more sexually attractive. Better yet, during election time (which these days is about 40 per cent of the time) I don't see any political commercials whatsoever. None. Nada. Zilch. Which means, among other things, I'm not bombarded with idiotic things like "Do you realize my opponent tears the wings off flies?" and other not enlightening bits of information. Which is the vast majority of political commercials.

I really wish more people would get rid of their television sets. Not that anyone need to stop watching TV altogether. But get out from under the corporate Buy! Buy! Buy! crap, and completely away from the "Do you realize my opponent . . ." bullshit.

Believe me, your life will be vastly better.

tenant and partner like the cable. Sigh.

If you want to watch it live, you can go here https://www.livenewsnow.com/american/msnbc.html

If you want to catch up later, go to youtube, put Rachel Maddow in the search box, then filter by today. You'll usually find 90% (or more) of a show that way. All you need to do for the rest is go to Stitcher.com, where her entire podcast is up there, and free.

Another live free option is if you have an Android phone or tablet, and you can download Mobdro, which has MSNBC on it. I even have it on an Amazon firestick, which may suit you.

Finally, you'll also probably get her show on a Kodi build. Kodi installs on Android, Firestick and PC.

Let me know if you need help doing that.

Thank you.

I do have an android phone, but I'm not interested in watching on a tiny screen.

It looks like Kodi wants a smart TV.

I've gotten so, after more than 11 years without a regular TV, I have almost no patience for the commercials. They're a total waste of my time. For a number of years, whenever I'd travel, I'd turn on the TV in my room. Lately it has become invisible to me.

You said you had Amazon Prime, do you have a firestick or a Fire TV box ? If so, you can sideload mobdro and kodi from your android phone. You can also put kodi on your windows PC/laptop if you have one. You can then put a build on it. I can guide you through that if you are interested.

There's also an excellent youtube channel to look at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQZcmkkx7hc0ik4wjaAtINQ

If either of those assume a regular TV, then no I don't have one.

I am perfectly content with watching what I watch on my computer screen. Plus, with just a few exceptions I'm okay with, I get to watch just about everything I want to watch via the internet. So thank you for your kind offer to walk me through the install, but for now I'll pass.

1. If you do decide to check out Kodi, you can download it at the link below even for a Windows 10 PC

https://kodi.tv/download/849

Instructions are here https://kodi.wiki/view/HOW-TO:Install_Kodi_for_Windows

2. Once that's installed, you need to install a Build .... there's a top 20 list here

It's all relatively straightforward

For someone who started using computers before most people (in January 1969 I went to work for the very second airline to go to a fully computerized reservations system) I'm not a very good IT person, and I really don't keep up with stuff. My son, who is my go-to for simple computer stuff (I have the Geed Squad for serious things) was visiting for a few days and he helped me with some basic things. He also doesn't have a TV and watches far less than I do. I don't think he has any of the streaming services that I do. I'd have to ask him.

But he's very up on other things computer and tech related.

on the other side of the country and doesn't get to visit very often.

He's currently in a PhD program in Astronomy, so he has no spare time to speak of these days.

But I don't know how old it is before it is posted.

Maybe Wednesday or Thursday night. She didn't take a break until she was finished.

as I recall.

The continuity through rough thirty minutes was a good call, so she could make her point with distraction. I'm pleased that the executives allow her and her producers to do as they see fit.

the best I've ever seen at explaining things and especially putting them in context. She's just brilliant!

Rachel Maddow is that RARE species of Journalist with a Doctorate in Political Science for a reason...There is much along the way that must not be overlooked. She is precise in her opening segments, often times leaving the viewer exhausted. THAT is a good thing because she gives the viewer a lot to think about. And that is what makes her stand out from the rest.

For what makes Rachel Maddow tick are the LITTLE DETAILS that often get passed over that can blow open a story of immense importance.

And I did get to watch MSNBC briefly.

What a contrast in styles. Chris Matthews invites a group of guests and then talks over them and interrupts them constantly, ends up making every show about him. Rachel manages to talk as if lecturing a class of Rhodes Scholars like herself, assuming most of her audience is on her level, and, more important, has that rare ability to connects the dots for those NOT on her level feel as if they are. When she has guests on, it seems there are rarely more than one (correct me if I'm wrong) at a time, and she is very deferential to them, no matter if they are with her or completely opposed.

We rarely have a Rhodes Scholar as a TV pundit, so she's "different" to watch, but never boring, and she never goes above my non-Rhodes scholar head. I am often reminded that we had a Rhodes Scholar president not too long ago who had that same talent.

America's side.

Showing how the right wing has taken to distilling the meaning out of words that are a threat to them. "Fake news," "corruption," "traitor," "treason," etc. It is a methodology that has worked well so far, just like framing the conversation has worked for these skeevy scumbags. Imagine anyone believing they're the party of "prolife." What a ridiculous joke!
