(7,358 posts)Sometimes that might be a problem for some in that you really have to listen well to get everything in she's saying. Her mind goes 1000 miles a minute. Rachael is very academic, if not nerdy herself and holds a PhD in Sociology. But I think Madow and MHP draw needed attention to issues that otherwise would not be addressed or even known to the public. It would be a disservice not to have MHP back on the air, but this is corporate media and they don't like 'them there liberuls'. How they allow even a modicum of left-of-center point of view on MSNBC is beyond me. But then they only allow so much. They canned Donahue, Olberman, Shultz, (that cute Ronan Farrow), Rev.Al, and now MHP. Somebody at the top is saying ''get those f...ing lefties off the air!"
I watch and listen to Hartmann, Democracy Now, Ring of Fire and more. I get what I need but I know that the majority of people out there are getting only right wing hate radio .. and of course all the corporate news from the talking heads on FOX, CNN, NBC, CBS etc.. Funny though, I have been told that WE own the airwaves, yet we don't have any say over the propaganda.
Why do we even have Schools of Journalism at Universities anymore?
