Review: The Rachel Maddow Show

This is currently my favourite US political show, I have been watching the Rachel Maddow Show online for about six months now and I believe it is the best place to go if you want to find out what is going on in America from a Liberal’s perspective.

Rachel Maddow uses humour and whit to take apart, bit by bit, Republican and Conservative ideas. She often calls out the Republicans on their lying, especially presidential candidate Mitt Romney. She is one of the few commentators that appears to be paying any attention to the situation in Michigan where democracy itself is at stake. Every night there are a range of experts appearing on her programme to chat about the latest issue affecting America. Unfortunately, Republicans to not appear on her show frequently. The reason: They hate her. Republicans do not appear to like the fact that Rachel frequently exposes lies and half-truths that the GOP tells. If only the whole media were as intelligent as she is.

One of my favourite features of the show is “The Best New Thing in the World Today”, which is a piece of good news from around the globe to brighten your day. Another favourite feature of mine is “Debunktion junction”, in this feature Rachel will make a statement that is obviously true or false and then proceed to tell you why the obvious answer is in fact, wrong.

The Rachel Maddow Show goes out on MSNBC at 9:00pm Eastern. You can also watch it online here.

Although I fear she will never attempt it, any run by Rachel Maddow for presidency would get my support!
