evilweasel posted:good to know donald trump is still considered a senior administration official As soon as I read this I immediately thought 'that is obviously trump talking.' It's amazing how oblivious he is to how distinct his speech patterns are. A vague, unverifiable yet grandiose claim about something that demonstrates a deep ignorance about the subject while claiming mastery at the same time? Why, who ever could that be?

I like Chris Hayes for my daily news roundup with a little extra background and just the right tone of smug douchiness that connects with me. And he's good when he gets away from the daily news and into deeper news and issues he cares about. I like Rachel Maddow for the actual investigative research and her actually telling me stuff I didn't really know. Like even if I know the story she's doing 4 out of 5 times she'll clue me into an aspect of it I hadn't realized or fully understood. This whole leftist "she's obsessed with Russia" thing seems really stupid and unfair to me. Considering that (a) she still talks about plenty else, (b) there's clearly a ton of real stuff to the Russia/Trump stuff, and (c) she does extensive coverage of corruption and murder in ACTUAL Russia to educate people on the state of Russian politics and Putin. To a certain extent its obviously connected and what she's deeply researching at the moment but I also get the sense she feels like the media dropped the ball in 2016 by not having America already clear on what's wrong with Russian intervention and why Putin is such a bad guy. But I guess that's out of bounds to some leftists for some reason?

I just thought it was better now that we have the evidence to support the Russia assertions rather than two months ago when she started off every show with breathless speculation, including implying that Putin personally ordered Trump to bomb Syria to throw off suspicion. The thing is, it's always been incredibly obvious. I understand the desire to wait for concrete proof or whatever, but back when Trump randomly and for no reason started defending Russia during the debates, I immediately looked at my wife and said 'Um...I bet he's colluding with Russia to rig the campaign or something.' It only got more obvious that exactly that had happened as time went on and it hasn't stopped getting more obvious at any point. It only comes across as an insane conspiracy theory to some because they've been successfully reached with propaganda painting it that way. At no point has it ever been plausible to assert that nothing fishy happened with Russia - not ever. Plus, if Putin didn't influence Trump to bomb Syria, or had nothing to do with that incident at all, I'd honestly be shocked. He is in up to his eyeballs with Russia and Putin. We just don't know all the details yet. So I don't think it's crazy to wonder if such things happened, rather it is insane to *not* wonder.

Wait, what was Hannity "right" about with Trayvon Martin? That he was jacked up on purple drink and the guy who's been arrested like 3 more times for violent interactions with a gun was just a concerned citizen who was attacked? I remember when Hannity was "right" about Cliven Bundy and then ran away from him when it turned out he was a big ole racist.

Except it wasn't breathless speculation. She was connecting the dots of Pence lying about Flynn back in March. Also, this is a huge loving story. You HAVE to spend time investigating it. You don't wait for someone else to break the scoop AND THEN start talking about it. Nevermind that pressure from Maddow and CNN has caused several forced errors out of the White House that have caused this to balloon even farther. Without MSM focusing so much on Russia, do you think Donald "Rating" Trump would have fired Comey? Maybe, but I personally believe Trump fired him because Comey was upstaging him in the news.

Yeah, when he said Comey was a 'showboat' it actually struck me as what Donald actually believed. I think he also fired him because of the Russia investigation but the tipping point was his jealousy over how much coverage Comey was getting. He's such a child and a narcissist that I just can't see that not being part of it.

Yeah. Maddow does her research and work and shows us it real time. Sometimes that means an investigation thread goes nowhere but more often than not it means she's on things quicker than other mainstream news and her viewers have all the pieces of the puzzle when it finally comes together. I like being informed that way. Its fine if you don't and just want to wait for a reporter to put the story together for you. I'm not saying that sarcastically. Sometimes I don't have the patience or interest in a story to follow it intently either. But that's what Maddow does and its always been what Maddow does. Now its suddenly a problem for some reason? I mean, I have a conspiracy theory about why this is suddenly a problem to some certain people but I generally hold back my crazy, unfounded ideas because I haven't done the research Maddow has.

I'm not very fond of her strongly op/ed delivery but the information she presents is generally pretty worth looking at. She hosed up pretty bad with the "we got his tax returns (really!!)" but overall she deserves a lot of credit for reporting on Trump/Russia stuff and being diligent about it.

Fox's refusal to cover the Russia story has caused it to drop to 3rd and sometimes 4th place behind CNN and MSNBC. Fox has trailed those two in rating longer now than at any point in the last 17 years. The Russia story might as well be the only thing going on in Washington.
