thought she looked tired.

She said she was broadcasting from Massachusetts because of an ice storm.

She is in the prime of her career. I remarked to my mother that she's "this generation's Walter Cronkite."

I like using Dr. since I found out that she has a PhD. She deserves the respect.

should also say Dr. Maddow.

Almost every day Ther's groundbreaking articles being published. How she and her staff keep it straight and find a way to logically lay them out is amazing.

not in nyc, stuck in ma.
there were a lot of weird shadows at one point.

Ya Bastards!!! It was bounce your boobies Friday!

Rachel has excelled, more than usual if that's possible. It could be an intriguing story with Russia.

They both see through the garbage info out there and point out what is significant.

Listen to them everyday on podcasts. I have been listening to them since their Air America Days.

Randi said yesterday she is going to try and get Malcolm Nance on again. The last time she had him on they talked for almost 45 minutes - it was great.

Really distracting. Plus they used reallly harsh lighting that accentuated every line in her face.

Hmm.

This doesn't happen to male newscasters because they aren't painted up with eye shadow.

As far as the comments about her looking tired, I don't think it is driven by sexism. It is driven by affection and concern for Rachel. I noted the lighting to explain why she looks "tired" as noted by the OP.

Rachel was not in her regular studio, but was stuck in western Massachusetts due to an ice storm, as she said at the top of the broadcast. It is obvious she was broadcasting from a makeshift operation without her regular makeup artist and lighting people. That made her look different to people who watch her on a daily basis like I do.

She is like family to some of us. If your sister walked in the room with dramatic eye shadow on just one eye, you wouldn't say anything?

The lighting was bad, the switches to video were off by a hair, and likely for the fact that her team wasn't there, she's wasn't at her best.

But no matter. It was still a good show.

She really is required viewing these days.

The explains it thoroughly, so you can make since of all the bits and pieces you get from other sources. She is doing an amazing job and I am so thankful that she is doing what journalist are supposed to be doing.. Thank you Rachel!!!!

And I am simply blown away by the quality of her work these past few months. She's well into the hero zone for me right now.

MDN

Happy Birthday, Rachel!

you are likely correct b-sister.

I saw it on facebook, but don't know how to move it from the device. Did anyone else see it, last few days?
