Lies, Damned Lies, & Rachel Maddow
Do you AIM to just say whatever is the opposite of the truth, or do you get this gift from being a Rachel Maddow viewer?
“In a 2019 letter to OAN, Amy Wolf, a counselor for NBCUniversal, MSNBC's parent company, argued that Maddow's comment was a "protected opinion based on disclosed facts" following a Daily Beast article that reported OAN reporter Kristian Rouz was also paid to write for Sputnik, which is funded by the Russian government.”
This argument sums up her show: “protracted opinion based on disclosed fact.” Cronkite was a news man. When he occasionally ventured into opinion he made that clear to his audience. He wasn’t seamless like Maddow is. That probably is a distinction beyond your mental capacity but it makes all the difference.
OF course you do. She has no conscience, pathologically lies, and her unique gift is manipulating idiots. It's a match made in heaven.
Hence all the lies she constantly gets caught in.

Lies, Damned Lies, & Rachel Maddow
"Makes great sport" of us by humiliating herself with wildly idiotic predictions that never come anywhere near true...or by getting caught lying at every turn?
And that doesn't at all mean that she isn't correct all the time.
My best guess is that she would have won on the facts. She is smart, informed, and she absolutely skewers the tards. The lesbian kicker is just icing on the cake.
Hence all the lies she constantly gets caught in.

Maddow Tells Viewers Taxes Going Up (80 Percent Of Taxpayers Actually Get A Tax Cut) (YOU FUCKING USED THE DAILY CALLER AS A SOURCE, DUMBFUCK BITCH)
from the lying piece of shit Daily Caller this idiot used as a source-
Liberal MSNBC host Rachel Maddow told her viewers Wednesday night that their taxes are going up to give major corporations an “embarrassing amount of money,” even though 80 percent of taxpayers are expected to see their taxes go down next year. (where is a source? we are supposed to take his word? it is true corporations got a 14% tax cut on corporate tax rates to 21%, EVEN LOWER THAN WHEN REAGAN FUCKED OVER THE MIDDLE CLASS WITH HIS HUGE TAX CUTS FOR THE RICH.....but it did not end up in big salary increases or compensation.)
here is the real deal-
Worker bonuses slump 22 percent after GOP tax cuts
Data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Employer Costs for Employee Compensation gives us a new chance to look at private sector workers’ nonproduction bonuses in 2018 and March 2019 to gauge the impact of the GOP’s Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. The bottom line is that bonuses in the most recent quarter, March 2019, remained very low at $0.72 per hour (in $2018), the same as in December 2018 and far below their $0.88 level in 2017 or the $0.90 level in 2018.
This is not what the tax cutters promised, or bragged about soon after the tax bill passed. They claimed that their bill would raise the wages of rank-and-file workers, with congressional Republicans and members of the Trump administration promising raises of many thousands of dollars within ten years. The Trump administration’s chair of the Council of Economic Advisers argued last April that we were already seeing the positive wage impact of the tax cuts:
Following the bill’s passage, a number of corporations made conveniently-timed announcements that their workers would be getting raises or bonuses (some of which were in the works well before the tax cuts passed). But as EPI analysis has shown there are many reasons to be skeptical of the claim that the TCJA, particularly its corporate tax cuts, would produce significant wage gains.
The new data for March 2019 allows us to examine nonproduction bonuses in every quarter of 2018 and the first quarter of 2019 to assess the trends in bonuses in absolute inflation-adjusted dollars and as a share of compensation relative to both December 2017 and 2017 as a whole.
An examination of overall wage and compensation growth does not provide much in the way of bragging rights for tax cutters, especially given the expectation of rising wages and compensation amidst low unemployment. Private sector compensation and W-2 wages both fell by 0.9 percent over the last year (March 2019 versus March 2018) and were lower in March 2019 than the average for 2017, the year before the tax bill passed. W-2 wages in March 2019, $27.44, were lower than in December 2017, $27.79, a drop of $0.35 or 1.2 percent.
In our last analysis we cautioned that the sharp drop in bonuses reported for December 2018—a $0.22 per hour decline in bonuses between December 2017 and December 2018—might be a statistical fluke. That bonuses remained at the same low level ($0.72/hour) in March 2019 indicates that there has been an actual decline in bonuses, twenty-two percent below their level in December 2017 before the GOP tax cuts passed. Nonproduction bonuses as a share of total compensation fell from 2.7 percent in December 2017 to 2.1 percent in December 2018 and remained at 2.1 percent in March 2019.
For bonuses, this is the lowest share of compensation since the summer of 2014, as indicated in the graph. As prior analyses have noted, we would expect bonuses to expand, not contract, in a low unemployment environment where businesses must expand efforts to recruit workers. As a June 2018 Wall Street Journal article noted:
“Bonuses started taking off four years ago. Businesses have been electing to give workers short-term payouts for retention and morale, rather than longer-term wage increases the economy had experienced in previous decades. Anecdotally, the trend of bonuses rather than permanent wage increases continues. A recent report by the Federal Reserve showed employers in the Atlanta Fed district were “increasing the proportion of employee compensation that is not permanent and can be withdrawn, if needed.”

As if we needed to hear anyone else say it, even an Obama-appointed federal judge has now ruled that Rachel Maddow's show and parent company cannot be sued for blatantly lying about people because it is clear to anyone who watches her show that it is "make up whatever we feel like" opinion instead of fact-based reporting.
"The Obama-appointed judge Cynthia Bashant dismissed the defamation lawsuit on the grounds that Maddow’s audience knows she’s hyperpartisan, and thus, as Greenwald put it, that her audience “understands that her show consists of exaggeration, hyperbole, and pure opinion, and therefore would not assume that such outlandish accusations are factually true even when she uses the language of certainty and truth when presenting them"

no, lying bitch....not even in the stupid fuck right wing article did it quote the judge as saying "she was hyper partisan." do you not see how easily played you are like a bitch? she is more accurate in her first 10 minutes than any fox talking head is in a year.

Judge Rules Rachel Maddow's Show Isn't News
You're a drug addicted moron obviously it's not news it's opinion
You're being hard on your ulcer.
Yeah, Cronkite was a trusted newsman, even beloved in an era of three network news shows. He became trusted for his straight news reporting. It wouldn't have happened if the public thought he spoke to them with a political agenda, as Rachel does. So it had an impact when he came out against the war.
1) Tards would be the people who followed Maddow down the fake news rabbit hole on:
-the "Trump gassed protesters to give a speech" hoax
-the Russia collusion hoax
-the "Trump told people to drink Lysol" hoax
-the Covington Catholic hoax
-the Charlottesville "very fine people" hoax
-the Roy Moore pedophile hoax
-the Kavanaugh rape gang hoax
-the "repealing Net Neutrality will destroy the Internet" hoax
-the Hydroxchloroquine hoax
-the Jussie Smollett hoax
-the "Investigating Biden's corruption is worse than Biden BEING corrupt" hoax
-the Ukraine transcript hoax
-the Duke Lacrosse team hoax
-the Trayvon Martin hoax
-the "uninsured crisis" hoax
-the multitude of college hate crime hoaxes
-the "deceptively edited video" Planned Parenthood hoax
-the "children in cages" hoax
-the Michael Cohen perjury/contacting the Russians hoaxes
-the SPLC "hate group" hoax
-the "Trump mocking people with disabilities" hoax
-the "you can keep your doctor" hoax
-the "immigrants are rapists, criminals, animals" hoax
-the Kavanaugh "white power symbol" hoax
-the "Trump asked Putin to hack the DNC" hoax
-the polar bear dying from climate change hoax
-the "Trump made it easier for the mentally ill to purchase guns" hoax
-the Scaramucci Russian bankers hoax
-the "Muslim ban" hoax
-the global warming "consensus" hoax
-the "Obama's scandal-free presidency" hoax
-the Trump Jr. WikiLeaks hoax
-the Iran nuclear appeasement hoax
-the "polls show Trump will lose" hoax
-the "Obamacare will never fund abortions or illegal immigrants" hoax
-the "Hillary exonerated" hoax
-the "white privilege" hoax
-the voter suppression hoax
-the "hands up don't shoot" hoax
-the "Trump called soldiers losers" hoax
-the "peaceful protesters" hoax
-the "Trump used a Nazi eagle" hoax
-the "Trump ignored Russia putting bounties on U.S. soldiers" hoax
-the coronavirus hoax
-the "Trump used a Nazi red triangle" hoax
-the "Trump admitted to sexual assault" hoax
-the "penises cause climate change" hoax
-the "Trump denying passports to Latinos" hoax
-the "Mission Accomplished" hoax
2) Because we would be fine with baseless left-wing conspiracy theories, ignorant hysteria, and bold-faced lies if it were coming from a woman who didn't look like a ten year old boy?
Nice logic.
"The threshold question “in a defamation claim is ‘whether a reasonable factfinder could conclude that the contested statement implies an assertion of objective fact.’ If the answer is no, the claim is foreclosed by the First Amendment.” Gardner v. Martino, 563 F.3d 981, 987 (9th Cir. 2009). This is because “‘pure opinion’—that is, statements that do not imply facts capable of being proved true or false” is protected. Unelko Corp. v. Rooney, 912 F.2d 1049, 1053 n.2 (9th Cir. 1990), cert. denied, 499 U.S. 961 (1991).

This is not a counterpoint. It's an unhinged tantrum.
For the record, Daily Caller (or anyone else) couldn't come close to having the well-established credibility issues Rachel Maddow has (hence all those lies I keep listing that she's been caught in)...it would be easier to calculate how many things she's said that WEREN'T ridiculous conspiracy theories or outright lies.
Come back and try again after you've taken your meds.
Try not to think you are really really bad at it
