Rachel Maddow: MSNBC's Smart Hire

Reader Comments
Back to blog

If there was ever a one sided news station MSNBC is at the top.
You need to step back and really examine your pre-written statements with an open mind. Statement you have made indicate that you are the definition of a raciest! Do a self examination. You need to get control of your future, do not let MSNBC control you for the money, if so, then you become a prostitue for your voice, looks and pictures.

i wished rachel would read the spiegel magazine
(you get it by "der Spiegel online"). you will find news, we won't hear in US until much later. also McCain has been described at yearly meetings in Munich Germany, as being sooo crude as to argue with important people and use the f......
word constantly. i want to know how we can be proud of someone like that? no statesmanship in him at all and all of europe is afraid, they will have to put up with him with NOOO respect for him. god help us.
the bravery he displaced when he was a prisoner of war. most people REALY view this as someone who was sure nothing was going to happen to him
because of his admiral father who would surely have retaliated if they would have killed him.
he certainly also is someone who has killed many civilians during his 28 sorties he flew. do we want someone like that as president?? i hope not.
go Obama!

Wouldn't it be cool for Dr. Rachel Maddow to have an appointment in President Obama's cabinet?

Did John Mccain say transplant that would not be covered in his health care proposal? He was very loud when he said people who have elaborate health insurance for cosmetic surgery and then he said very sofly ( transplants) .!!! Thats very scary to me. Or did he mean to say breast implants!! Thats scary also... Breast Ca.... Cornea eye implants.. all this might not be covered in his health care plan.... Would your station please investigate and relisten to the part of health care in the debate???? Thank you .

Hello Miss Maddow
My husband and I love your show- very interesting, educational and balance.
My question is why don't the candidate especially Obama point out the difference between the Democratic and the Republican party.
Not only would many in America be educated on the differences especially when the other side talks about " he will only spend on programs" Obama can then say you are against abortion because you wait until they are eighteen and then send them to war which cost over ten billion dollars.
Again a loyal listener and watch.
Keep up the very good work.
Just a regular person

My son and I watch Keith O on MSNBC all the time and were delighted when Rachel started appearing on the show. I really liked her intelligent, but oh, so informative style and wanted to know more and found this article. She seems to have it all going for her: young, intelligent, SMART,unbiasedand on and on. One of the main things I like about her style is that she is in control of her interviews and manages to get answers without badgering her guests or humiliating them.
I am anxiously awaiting Obama besting John McCain tonight on the last debate. I am a 74-year-old retired senior citizen, and I can understand some of the problems John is having. Honey child, you just don't have what it takes at your age. Move over and let someone younger and smarter have it. And I don't mean Sarah Palin. God forbid that this awful woman would be president if anything happened to John McCain (if he were president.) NO WAY.
Waiting to see Rachel on TV tonight. Keep up the good work. I can't wait until November 4th.

You are the closest investigative reporter since Edward R Murrow that I have heard in my lifetime. Congratulations on getting your own show. Keep up the good work

Rachel Maddow is the best female news person on all cable news.
She's a pleasure to watch. She's tough, and know's how to react to these right-wing jerks. Keep up the good work Rachel.
