Can you imagine applying for a job saying I am honest sometimes with certain things but other times not so much. I have NO tolerance for this and it has NOTHING to do with her support for Hillary.
If she were telling the truth about Bernie and giving him equal time, I would have zero problems. The job of the media is to inform the electorate. Tell me the difference between what she's doing and what faux does. They are NOT arm of any political party.

Rachel is a political junkie. She just loves to analyze trends. So of course she would be interested in analyzing this.

Why does any positive or not-entirely-negative talk about Hillary have to mean that the person had "sold out"?

MSNBC is no longer the Trends Progressive station. Ed is gone. Rachel has bought in. Lawrence...who knows, and Chris Hayes is tanking. I haven't watched in ages.

I guess I missed something.

Do you mean all that free air time last night? Fair enough (although Bernie could/should have sent a representative in his place since he couldn't make it). But I'm not seeing anything tonight.

and she's admitted to getting 50/50 email from people like this O/P who say she's in the tank for one side or the other.

IOW, she's doing an outstanding job. Can't always hear what one wants, I like that she covers all angles - as she should.

I think she geeks out when interviewing a lot of democrats, and always trues to be fair and thought provoking.
she was the only fun coverage of the Iowa caucus, so genuinely excited about the tight - and historic!- race.
