It takes her forever to get to the point! #$%@&

I used to watch her because she's bright, articulate and has good researchers that dig up exclusives all the time, and also has good guest interviews. But after the election I finally gave up, because it takes her about five minutes to say what she could have said in about 30 seconds. And while she's dragging the point out painfully slowly, she repeats what is essentially the same thought over and over using only slightly different language to say the same thing. Really annoying.
I don't know, maybe they feel they don't have enough material to fill an hour, so they have to pad everything with repetitive, long-winded jabbering. That has ruined the show for me. At first I tried to fast-forward through it, but then it was hard to figure out when she was done with one thought and starting another thought. So I just gave up.
I fear that Lawrence O'Donnell is now starting to adopt the same technique, so I'll probably have to drop him as well. I wish the producers at MSNBC could get them to stop doing that. It's not suspenseful, it's just bad journalistic technique. If these monologues were newspaper articles, the editor would have slashed red lines through most of it to get it down to a reasonable length--and if it continued, the writer would be fired.

I agree with your assessment. And lately she's also trying too hard to have breaking news scoops that often turn out to be not much. Like today, she spent about a half hour hyping the "breaking news" that she had one of Donald Trump's tax returns. When, after much fanfare, she finally revealed her "scoop" (that actually wasn't even a scoop, because someone else broke the story right before she did), it turned out to be only the two-page 1040 form from 2005. Nothing surprising there, and of course no details about his specific sources of income, how much he gave to charity, etc. A real disappointment.
If she's not careful, she will end up providing support for Trump's claim about the "crooked media."

Yeah, now he toils away on AXS TV. But even before the 60 Minutes II fiasco, he seemed to act like the reporter is the star instead of letting the story be the focus. And I think people also got tired of his faux folksiness.

I think she's getting desperate. MSNBC's ratings aren't great, and hers probably have fallen off significantly since the election campaign ended. If she keeps swinging for the fences and striking out, her fate may become rather (no pun intended) difficult.

And yet she keeps winning Emmy Awards. Go figure. (I think she just has really good research staff, and sources that like her and like to give her scoops.)

Oh, the crazy, lying, sexual assault network? I don't think so.

Let me get you caught up: DJ Trump says that he has heard/read that Ted Cruz's father killed JFK.

Yes Trump is a loudmouth but the economy is booming and employment is way up I'll take that over "No Drama Obama".

Rachel Maddow is a smart, charismatic chick. However, her show can drone on and on into tiresome territory. I actually watch CNN, not MSNBC, as a rule.
