Nowhere near a TV right now.

Appreciate it!

...sexual assault and harassment in corporate America/NBC which is her parent company.

He finally left NBC and got it all published thereafter.

Rachel just spent her A-block talking about it, and is now interviewing Ronan.

eventual benefit, even as they are exposed as mistaken in judgment. She's got this handled, and is probably contractually protected in a way that Farrow was not.

NBC has to now live up to the truth, and "NBC scandal," that she and Farrow now present to the public.

I can't help but wonder if she's okay with ending her time at MSNBC at this point. Gutsy is right.

She wouldn't be doing it if MSNBC didn't give her the green light.

They are the stars of MSNBC.

...something in her voice told me she was about to drop bombs.

I got that uh-oh feeling.

I was expecting her to say she was leaving. But then, she's one of their biggest draws and would suffer immensely if she did. They had to approve of this interview, even if she had to beat them over the head with threats of quitting.

She's fearless, really.

...CNN would probably pay her to write a couple more books until her non-competitive agreement runs out.

Her net worth is pretty stout. But I agree, she can do whatever she chooses at this point, she has currency in the media world.

and run for president.

She knows more than most lawyers in our government, and could certainly buy whatever expertise she lacks.

and being on that side of the fence. She also knows what one must sacrifice in being an elected official. But she's a great educator and her role in the media serves us all well, I hope she keeps up reporting, she's great at it and we need more like her.

the "explainer in chief"?

the "explainer in chief."

with Ronan Farrow. I need to get his and Rachel's books. Look forward to reading both.

She repeatedly commented about the way people are talking “in the building” which means she knows what is going on.

Maybe spineless Andy Lack is in his way out.

perhaps there will be a mutiny threatened of he doesn't leave. I would be pissed if the public's view of my honest work was diminished by executive decisions. I would imagine there might be some changes coming at the network in the near future.

I don't know how many people are old enough to remember when that was actually the norm, possibly even a requirement.

I remember when news wasn't required to show a profit.

Ronan Farrow is basically banned from NBC shows. The exception is Rachel Maddow. She's the only one able to get him booked, because she has so much power at NBC, they won't touch her. She's their #1 show. She's their highest paid anchor. They're not going to punish her over this.

...nothing glossed over that I could see, and she was after all talking about the people who sign her paycheck. She was magnificent, I think.

I have Rachel DVR'd and will watch it in just a little while. Rachel is absolutely fearless. I don't think she wants to go anywhere because She LOVES her job (I've heard her in various interviews talk about her work and her love for her work). I would think that the upper level management had to have known that Ronan was going to be on the show.

That's what I was thinking when she was talking about NBC. Whoa, Rachel--you're going to get yourself fired.

Kind of reminded me of Olbermann. I remember seeing her on his show the first time. She looked terrified.

She refuses to compromise her own ethics.

She refuses to compromise her ethics.

The story is out there so it's in NBC's best interest to let it be told by Rachel Maddow in full, since her audience is not going anywhere, rather than have to deal with it on the Today Show or NBC Nightly News where they could potentially lose mainstream viewers by having to deal with it there.

...And be released from their confidentiality agreements. Ronan praised the network for their transparency. Rachel interviewed her execs and gave their statements. They said they wished they'd broken the story. It was very balanced and Ronan thought the network set an example he wished others would follow. My assessment was that it was a good story where all parties were fairly represented and complimented for what they did right.

Rachel was amazing tonight but I was afraid that she may piss of top NBC brass

Many have left the MSM and gone on the internet. Keith, Conan, sports people all have sites, pod casts and ADVERTISERS. It works for Lush and snake oil Jones, we need to start flooding social, pod, and anything else. One more try at radio would be nice. Rachel, if dismissed, could be a beacon on every other platform. Rachel radio, sounds nice.

...with facts and details.

I have 3 must-watch news programs that get DVRd, all women anchors: Katy Tur, Nicolle Wallace, and Rachel Maddow. I have often praised them here -- each different, each in her own way excellent.

Let me say it again: yes, we women do bring a different perspective to whatever discussion is going on.
