Liberals, do you think Rachel Maddow is a good presenter?

I think she goes off on these longwinded tangents. I think she should stick to short simple ideas. She gets me lost. What do you think?

    She's ok.. I like that she's the only one who criticizes the Afghanistan war and what we are doing there.

    She needs to get to the point tho. The build up to every topic is ridiculously long winded

    I liked her on her radio show when Air America still existed. She was much more radical then. She sold out when she went to MSNBC, and she's much more mainstream and tamed now.

    As far as her presentation style is concerned, I find her kind of obnoxious. But that could be some of my negative biases about her centrism. I can't say I find her reasoning to be particularly convoluted or hard to follow, though. No offense to you, it's just that everyone has their own preference for how thoughts and arguments are organized. It's why some non-fiction writers strike some people as ponderous, tedious, and hard to follow, and others may find the same author brilliant - even when both readers are of equal intelligence.

    Maybe you and Maddow are just on different wavelengths.

    I'd rather listen to Madcow before Rachel Maddow. I'll never forget that President's Day when hundreds of troops marched for Ron Paul. Racheal decided to cover the conterceptive protest with about 30 people. I sometimes wonder if they are in a continuous joke or a test on all the US by the progressive liberal left because they their lies and distraction attempts are so obivious. Although she is an incredibly handsome woman who would be cute with Janet Napotanio.

    I enjoy her show. Her integrity, veracity, insight, wit, willingness to admit when she makes a mistake, her respect for those she interviews. She is one of the best out there these days.

    As for her tangents, she is trying to give context to her point, rather than just spouting sound bites to be swallowed whole. She wants you to think. Grow. Learn.

    She's a bit shrill, but she's the only major news presenter telling the public what the despicable acts of Republicans in Congress are.

    Source(s): And Fox News richly deserves to be called on their many lies and distortions, fyi. No it's not the same as MSNBC, they actually believe what they are saying, right or wrong.

    She is alright.

    Not my favorite...but she is all over defense policy.

    She usually breaks stories that fox then picks up...like the ww2 memorial, VA benefits.

    Stuff like that.

    Its because she is too busy being distracted on air by his cockpump that stimulates his artificial phallus.

    Presenter's not a word.

    But he's an awfully awful pundit.
