YA know, Rachel is turning out to be THE BEST reporter CABLE TV has!
Notice I didn't say a particular cable network, but all of them! I think we are watching the next Star reporter of all TV. I watch & listen to her interact with Generals, Ambassadors, Congresmen, Senators, and many others. She just interviewed Holbrook and you could sense the ease and trust between them. She's fair with all of her guests, but never tkes any shit from any either.

I consider myself lucky to see a star born.

2. I think she's the best in all media.
And she's starting to be recognized for it, which is a great thing.

My only concern is how long she'll be allowed to tell the truth on network TV.

10. My guess is the first time she's told she has to lie she'll quit!
Nobody can tell me she would have a hard time finding a job on any network. And to those who said she's being recognized for her talent, I completely agree. She's been part of the panel on the Sunday show several times, but I can't tell if she's being made part of the permanent panel. If they're smart, that's what they'd do. When I heard she was reporting from Afghanistan, I knew she's really a rising star. The only other new reporter I can recall in recent years who was set to a war zone was Anderson Cooper.

I thought she was the BEST Air America had, and I think they did too, and I'm so glad Keih gave her a break. I'm positive we will allbe able look back some day and say "I remember when she was a little show host on a failed radio network, and look at her now!"

3. Yes, yes she is.
This country would be a better place if we had a couple dozen more just like her. Her intellect, curiosity, and unflinching quest for the truth make her more than the smartest girl in the room, she is the only adult in the industry.

9. If you don't include Free Speech TV with Amy Goodman
and others, I'll tend to agree.

11. I like Amy but Rachel has something more than her. I thinkit's her

13. Amy always has her p.o.v., Rachel has the 'story' about which to inform.

14. the major difference is what they are allowed to report
Amy Goodman has no more or less POV than Rachel. Rachel though, works for MSNBC. There are definite limitations. I love Rachel's style too, and think she's the best of the major cable chanel journalists.
Democracy Now! is far less censored.

23. you beat me to it
I love Rachel , she is definitely one of the best along with Amy Goodman. I just don't think Amy gets enough credit for all she does.

The rest is taste. :)

21. Howard Stern was raving about her a couple weeks ago.
He plays part of her report from the Gulf. He thinks she does a great job.

Too bad she didn't get the Meet the Press job too.

26. Her brain power just astounds me
The way she retains minute details and produces them at will - I have never seen anyone on television with her ability.
