I mean us faithful watchers see her drop bombshell revelations every week, but they never seem to pick up steam not even on MSNBC. But this one took off.

Look at Chris Hayes reporting on Chris Christies abysmal record on Sandy recovery, I doubt other news organization are going to pick up that story and run with it.

I remember Kieth Oldbermann would have to hammer a story over and over and over before it got picked up on other news organizations.

As far as she knew this Story would have not gone further than MSNBC. but because other news sources picked up on it and added to it, it grew to a BIG Story with Lightening Speed
