Seriously,this chick is a deranged mutant.
White House visitor logs show her meeting with this White House on a regular basis to coordinate propaganda Talking-Points. GE/White House/NBC: What a sad & twisted cabal.
In an interview with Slate.com, MSNBC's Rachel Maddow unloaded the bizarre claim that Fox News is "operating with a political objective to elect Republican candidates," but MSNBC doesn't resemble that in any way.
"I think the thing that is underappreciated about MSNBC is that we don't really do anything as a company, that we all sorta get to do our own thing," she claimed. "There may be liberals on TV at MSNBC, but the network is not operating with a political objective."
I think that the new model in cable in news broadcasting is that when you hear a host talk, you are expecting that they are saying exactly what they believe...We are actually saying what we think. We are not playing a role. We are not being fake-objective. We are not being directed in political talking points in any way. That its us. That means management has to be hands off with all of us, because in order for you to believe that The Rachel Maddow Show is saying what this person named Rachel Maddow believes, there cant be anybody else telling me what to say. So thats the rule with everybody. Everybody gets to say their own piece.
Slate's Jacob Weisberg unspooled the usual liberal attack line: "Theres no Roger Ailes moving the chess pieces around with the goal of advancing the conservative cause, you know Glenn Beck, youre good for the cause, Nope, youre not good for the cause any more. Youre out. He somehow ignored that MSNBC dumped Keith Olbermann (like Beck left Fox), or that all around Maddow, they've moved the chess pieces of Ed Schultz and Larry O'Donnell.
Maddow played along. "Yeah. Thats exactly right. We are not, we, there may be liberals on TV at MSNBC, but the network is not operating with a political objective. Whereas Fox is operating with a political objective to elect Republican candidates, and particularly, to elect Republican candidates Roger Ailes likes. I think Roger Ailes is a really good TV executive, but their operation is essentially a political operation to elect Republicans."
