MSNBC's dissent into shameful liberal partisan politics seems to be almost complete. Chris Matthews is constantly becoming sexually excited on air whenever Obama speaks. Keith Olbermann is a complete asshole. The network yanked conservative Tucker Carlson off the air and the network's other token conservative Joe Scarborough has been sentenced to hosting a pitiful morning show. Now the 9 PM time slot has been filled with The Rachel Maddow Show. Maddow is nothing more than the female version of Keith Olbermann, who like Olbermann, is not funny and wastes most of her show reciting meaningless talking points. Not only does recite these talking points, but she smug about it. It is as if she believes that she knows just how all Americans feel and what they believe and (surprise, surprise) they all agree with her. On last night's show (I don't know why I was watching it) she joined in on the all out media assault on Sarah Palin by reciting common Democratic talking points to show that Palin is wrong on women's issues. All she really talked about was abortion and rape. Palin, i guess, opposes abortion and favors rape. First, not all women are pro-choice. Second, it is very condescending to make the claim that the only issues that women are concerned about are abortion and rape. Women also are concerned about the economy, national security as well as the other pressing issues of the day. Maddow's show is just the latest sad event in MSNBC's decline and fall from the soaring heights of media respectability.
