Rachel Maddow praises long-time friend Tucker Carlson for his success

It really is all a game and they all know it.

They fucking?

She just said the quiet part out loud. The media supports its own, even if their own are propagandists and liars. Let's not pretend that Jim Acosta hasn't defended Andy Ngo, or that the entire media establishment lead by Jake Tapper didn't attack Obama for weeks because his press secretary said Fox was entertainment and not news. There are tons of examples like this.

I get that you rightwing trolls are trying to divide and demoralize with this kind of shit, but the truth is you benefit from how the media operates as this insular little in-group.

I remember her on his earlier show, they actually worked well together. They discussed controversial issues in an intellectual manner. Wish there was more of that.

R2 only when Rachel puts the strap on well on.

I would pay serious money to see that, r5, but don’t ask me why.

I just go with it.

What in the fuck is wrong with this woman?

I've lost all respect for her.

Even if he is a Liberal Democrat and the nicest person in the world (in real life), what he does on FOX News, and the damage he has done to this country by spewing the filth that he does, makes him EVIL.

And that's not hyperbole. It's a fact.

So when I hear her "sing his praises," it actually makes me sick to my stomach.

Cunt. I have no respect for her.

She is loyal to the people who helped her career. That’s not a bad thing.

R9 = Maddow.

Suck my $30 million, r10.

lol.

They've been friends for decades. They disagree on absolutely everything, but they're still always gracious about each other personally, and I have a lot of respect for that.

Well, I guess, when you think about, Hitler did have good leadership skills and could turn out a crowd.

You gotta respect that.

Tucker is hawt.

Rachel has lost her mind.

r14, Hitler was friends with Stalin for quite a while. They both were united by Marxism, in the beginning, after all.

Maddow has said similar glowing things about Greta Van Susteren. I can understand that a bit better, as Greta reached out to Maddow, and offered her support in the spirit of women sticking together and supporting one another in journalism. Greta is said to be surprisingly non-competitive with other women, and always eager to mentor.

Though I'm a Progressive, I can see why people have respect for Van Susteren. Swanson boy, not so much. Maddow has an ability to be collegial, despite their differences, and though it may be admirable from a professional POV, this does come as rather a surprise from her. It doesn't diminish my respect, but it's as shocking as George W's friendship with Ellen De Generes.

Strange alliances behind the scenes. I'm far too radical I suppose to understand anyone grounded in reality singing Tuckem's praises.

Sports metaphors are so annoying.

I’m eager to mentor, too.

How magnanimous of Rachel

R15: you can say that again!

GURL!

R22 FFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCKKKKKKK yes, GAWD hunny!

^ Especially the FeetS!

Willie Geist seems to have forgotten that he was Tucker's sidekick when Tucker had an afternoon show on MSNBC.

Rachel Maddow has $100 Million dollars in the bank. She just doesn't give a fuck.

And yes R1. It all really is a fame to these people. They work in corporate media and its ultimately about the Benjamin$.

Game.

I admire a lot of maddows work but r3 sums it up. The political media in particular are all very very close. Note how that once a narrative is established they all start echoing each other. See for example, the coordinated attack on Al Gore during the 2000 election. He was effeminate, and a liar, and looked silly in his earth tones, etc etc. And the people with the most sway in the D.C. press corps are some of the most vile and execrable people on the planet. Not a lot of people know this but a big part of the attacks on Clinton in the 90s came after Hilary declined an invite to Sally Quinn ( Ben Bradley's wife's) cocktail party. Not that the Clintons were blameless or angels but a lot of what went down was driven by petty animosity.

I do still find Maddow less offensive than most of her peers because at least she doesn't echo their propaganda on her show, even if she pals around with scumbags.

Media people are everything wrong with America. They are some of the most out of touch people in this country along with Washington politicans in both parties.

All of these people need a good scare. Which is one of the reasons I don't give a fuck Trumps cockroaches are going after the FBI. All of these people are institutional garbage.

Sally Quinn, hahahaha

Is her retard son still living next door with his “wife?”

Clownworld.

The FBI spends all day watching hardcore gay porn. This has been confirmed.

Who does Sally Quinn think she is? And how did she become so powerful in the first place? And is it normal for first ladies to except invitations to cocktail parties or DC journalists? I could see someone like Nancy Reagan excepting an invite to such an event. But than again, Nancy Reagan wasn't a serious person to begin with. She was always superficial and very surface.

She was also a failed Hollywood actress, who was more of a vapid socialite than a first lady while in the white house. She cared more about keeping up with her bestie Betsy Bloomingdale than actually doing the serious work of being a public servant first lady. So Nancy and Melania have more in common with each other than not. Two awful superficial Bitches!

Sally Quinn herself claimed to have been a "witch" - as in the spells and potions kind, not as in the Dynasty kind, r33. Although there is NO doubt she was a witch-bitch, albeit lacking any real style or grace. She was no Alexis. More of a wannabe Alexis understudy who got lucky when she married the director of the show.

R34 Well maybe she's telling the truth. The woman radiates malice.

Maybe she is, r35. Apparently, the way she treated husband Ben Bradley when he got too old/senile to socialise/forward her interests was less than...ideal.

She took the retard son to a Bahamian prostitute or some shit as a teenager to lose his virginity.

Is the Jazzercise instructor she fixed Quinn up with still around?
