Some people on this platform have basically pinned a lot of their hopes on the return of Rachel Maddow five nights a week

Hey I like Rachel. I used to watch her. She got my hopes up that just around the corner Trump was going to be taken down

How did that work out?

Pinning hopes on corporate media is insane. Especially when they've been pushing the same bullshit for years.
