Pretty good, minus the cheap shot at Maddow.

You're not the first one to make this comment. Here's the relevant paragraph. Which part of that doesn't fit Maddow's show and what her audience seeks when consuming it?pic.twitter.com/UFrlUBWsbG

I don’t think any of it fits her show. I would never argue that Rachel doesn’t have a particular world view and that her program doesn’t reflect that view, but to pretend that she doesn’t challenge her viewers is a disservice and not accurate.
-
I believe she takes great pains to present the other argument in the best possible light before she dives in.
-
Thanks for the reply. I never accused her of arguing in bad faith. But on "challenge her viewers," I haven't seen enough of her show to comment on how frequently she does, so that may be a fair criticism.
-
Also, you and others may be misinterpreting something. I don't think choir-preaching is uncommon. Quite the opposite. It's dominating our political discourse. I singled out Maddow not because she's one of few choir-preachers, but because she's good at it, bringing fame & fortune.
-
I understand. I’m not trying to make a huge deal out of it. I do think that, like Obama, people often attack a caricature of Maddow that is undeserved.
-
She has her faults, but even the “choir-preaching” is a little unjustified. She is a zealous advocate for her views, which makes her a target of bad faith arguments, many of which stick unfairly.

I always thought that Obama was attacked for the wrong reasons, which took attention away from the mistakes he actually made.

Obama.. left wing??? LOL Haha that's a good one. The RW's so deluded & dumb they spout PBO is left wing? It's got nothing to do with economics though. They hate him bc he's a qualified Black man with much better credentials to be President than anyone they can muster up.

Excellent article. Anyone that argues that Obama was a left wing ideologue should immediately lose all credibility.
