She's a genuinely brilliant person who has decided to make millions on a lovely station doing clickbait-y news for middle-class college educated white people in trendy gentrified neighborhoods to feel smarter than people who aren't middle-class college educated white people in trendy gentrified neighborhoods.

Hopefully calling Trump an ahole 24 7 is the key to ratings for these cable news channels so we get 20 of them doing it. I would watch C-Spam the channel.

Maddie is incredibly smug but she's the only person on cable news who does any real journalism. She is good.

ok so the thing that turned me off of being personally involved in politics ever was when i volunteered for my local democratic headquarters as a teenager and found out on election night gatherings that democrats are just as hateful as republicans about the other team and you know what if i wanted to watch people be smugly self-assured champions of a particular world view i could just watch fair & balanced fox news channel

never understood why people like maddow

she is like the definition of a smug smartass, and every image macro or op-ed or other media thing about her is awful awful awful

maybe she is a nice lady in real life but her public news anchor persona is really bad for anything other than preaching to a choir

I find her attractive. :blush:

Literally the same could be said of all of humanity. Just pick a thing. Sports. TV shows. Video games. Anime. Anything. Everyone gets like this in something they're invested in.

Solid work, reducing all criticisms to sexism sure worked out great in November.

Maybe the problem was that the bad Dems just didn't do that enough. Guess we'll find out when they double down in 2018.

There is nothing I want to be. There is nothing I want to do.
I don't even have an image of what I want to be. I have nothing. All that exists is zero.
when Olbermann was between shows he basically turned into a baseball blogger

I tried a few times to engage him about baseball and he never replied

then he devoted himself to being the lamest Twitter troll ever so I unfollowed him

:lol: that Trump has completely broken him
