40. Rachel Maddow doesn't do gotchas. Why are you lumping her in with the whores ?

In fact she gets a lot of criticism for her in depth reporting style with people demanding she get to the point.

If most media reported like she did people would understand better why things are as they are. Things like exteme weather events would not be surprising. People would understand why there was inflation after Covid and many other things .
