In the Democrat battle of crazy, it’s a knock-down, drag-out race to the bottom.
Conspiracy Theorist Rachel Maddow Picked as Moderator for Democratic Debate
She obsessed over Trump’s taxes and Russia for two years so much that even caused left-leaning sites to cringe.
By Mary Chastain, Legal Insurrection, June 12, 20219:
Story continues below advertisementMSNBC host and conspiracy theorist Rachel Maddow will moderate the first Democratic primary debate along with NBC anchors Jose Diaz-Balart, Savannah Guthrie, Lester Holt, and Chuck Todd.
Maddow is the only one out of those who host an opinion-based TV show, which caused some people to raise eyebrows. It does not help that Maddow has dived into numerous conspiracy theories since President Donald Trump took office.
From The Daily Caller:
Jeff McCall, a media studies professor at DePauw University, told The Daily Caller:
I think the voting public would be better served if hosts of opinion shows were kept out of moderating campaign debates. That’s not to say that an opinion host such as Maddow couldn’t generate helpful questions, but the appearance is that an advocate is helping to referee the contest. Certainly, reporters also have their own values and perspectives, but the public normally expects reporters to come at any news event with some degree of objectivity. That is not the case for an opinion show host such as Maddow. NBC is, of course, trying to give their highest rated MSNBC host a promotional platform on this debate stage. I understand that, but it is unnecessary. Maddow already has a high profile among Democrat voters.
He also noted that Maddow’s selection is not unprecedented. During the GOP primary debates in 2015 and 2016, they had multiple “opinion-based panelists” including Hugh Hewitt and Mary Katherine Ham, adding that, “Their roles were rather limited, but they did participate on the panel. That was not a good idea either.”
She has obsessed over the supposed link between Trump and Russia, along with his taxes.
After the release of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s report, Mike LaChance asked in a blog why people do not treat Maddow like other crazy conspiracy theorists like Alex Jones. Social media platforms had no problem erasing Jones and his conspiracy website, but Maddow still has a voice across all of them.
Even left-leaning Slate noticed and published a piece by Willa Paskin titled “Rachel Maddow’s Conspiracy Brain.” Paskin wrote after she watched Maddow’s show on the Mueller report (emphasis mine):
I’ll admit that I haven’t watched Maddow regularly for the past few years. Turning on her show this week was like discovering a Facebook friend is on the verge of a nervous breakdown. She looks the same as she did, she even sounds the same, but 15 minutes into a conspiratorial rant with no sense of proportion or, honestly, responsibility, you realize that something has gone wildly wrong: She wants to believe the instantly impeachable truth is out there more than she wants the truth, as gnarly and corrupt as it is. It’s easy to understand why this might appeal to the 4 million or so Trump-sick viewers who regularly watch Maddow’s program, but her audience is being served an alt-reality just as surely as Hannity’s is. If her audience of susceptible ostriches and amateur detectives, people who bury themselves in conspiratorial details hoping to unearth the one clue that will beam us out of this reality, is not as malignant as Fox’s audience of the hateful, aggrieved, and ignorant, in this one regard at least, what’s happening between MSNBC and Fox is not a contest: More than one cable news host can disserve their audience at a time.
Maybe the others can reel her in. The Washington Examiner‘s Philip Klein defended Maddow as he pointed out that when she moderated a debate between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders, “she asked pointed questions of both candidates.”
However, she came under fire after she hugged each candidate. Maddow said she would embrace GOP candidates as well if she ever moderated a debate with them since she is a hugger.
I have doubts Maddow will act as she did in 2016 since it seems like Trump broke her like he has with others who suffer from Trump Derangement Syndrome

Democrats: working to build the Delusional American coalition to power.
Well, that will make things simple. Now *EVERYONE* on stage can rant freely about Donald Trump, we deplorable types, the need for higher taxes and more regulation, and how bad America is.

Nolte: Russia Hoax Queen Rachel Maddow’s Ratings Crash to Trump-Era Low
By John Nolte

Will anyone watch…? Are you kidding?
Doesn’t everyone stop to watch a car crash – even if only for a little while?
I’ll tune in for a beer or two, just to keep track of how many times (s)he blinks her eyes and holds her breath.
I wonder which restroom she uses when she goes to Target?
CORN GROWING SEASON is a Much Better THING TO WATCH
Mad Cow would be crazy enough to show up in a strapless, barely their bikini, and carrying a sex toy, just to get attention.
She’s cancer in human form.
Programmed for destruction.
Did I say “she”? Cancer is defined as limitless malig-
nant cell growth. Without ever contributing anything
to the continued existence of humanity. MSNBC is a
“ghost show”, a cemetery of perverted “cuddly toys”.
Never heard of her before.
She looks like a freak.
Never heard of her before.
She looks like a freak.
Looks like transgender freak
She might very well be a transgender freak.
Megan reflects the term “Ugly American” very well. She should be removed from the team.
Oo Rah ! Bulls eye….OFF THE USA WOMEN TEAM and ON TO BSNBC as member of that TEAM OF IDIOTS and Dykes
Let’s not forget that these wamen play HIGH SCHOOL BOY’S SOCCER TEAMS for practice and are usually beaten by them.
The new Brown Shirts are wearing rainbows.
Rachel Madcow? Isn’t she that little boy who played Kevin Arnold in “The Wonder Years”? Man did he grow up to be one ugly dude.
Where’s the Little Dutch Boy when you need him? He knew how to plug up leaky dykes.
Good one.
all that BS NBC lacks is GO-NAD-LER TO THROW bs softballs TO THE klan of (d) idiots ….AND AFTER BRAZILE (ccn now fox) THREW Q&A to shillery) who is MADCOW going to PITCH spitballs to and who gets a 25 MPH Fast ball on REAL ISSUES???,,,,,,,,,,,,,This DEBACLE may be worth 2-3 MINUTES of WASTED TIME!
Do dykes really “LEAK”?
Having witnessed that fruit loop at work on this site, I understand why her friends call her Rachel “Mad cow”.
I don’t want to know what her enemies call her.
{She looks weird, does she bat for the other side or have a “coochie”}?
I do try to keep up with contemporary patois.
My understanding is she plays the male role in a lesbian relationship.
No coochie for Mad Cow.She has a permanently installed vibrating dildo
Ever heard the old saying about being as out of place as a turd in a punch bowl?
Losers promoting losers. Can’t get any bitter then that! 😉
Why do we have to see two identical photos of Warren, one would be more than enough?
Maddow’s show is rated #1 in Asylums across America. In California all asylum inmates get to vote three times.If caught they can all plead insanity.
In a gvmt bldg that is required to have S/A, we often battled against CNN / Fox (with Fox being about 20/1 over CNN). When polled, I couldn’t find a single person who’d watch that MSNBC crap. Not one.
I travel a lot and whenever I see CNN in the lobby or bar call the manager and ask it be turned to Fox and suggest that’s what most of their customers prefer. We need to get CNN out of the airports as well.
When I first glanced at the article it looked like ‘pickled as moderator’. Since that seemed unsurprising, I read on…
Then the ‘highest rated’ MESSNBC host line was laugh out loud funny. It’s like saying she’s in the crow’s nest of a ship that has sunk up past the masts. And, speaking of conspiracy nuts, she had a national platform on cable news and sounds like that crazy ol’ aunt in the attic every day! Her rating that Paskin was quoted with have dropped almost a million viewers since he wrote that post, and another 500,00 since then.
This is nothing more than a desperate attempt to revive an already sunk ship and pull Madcow up as their shill.
A sign the 2020 Presidential election process will once again be degraded by the left. There will be zero nonbias. Voter fraud and election tampering will be accomplished on a scale unseen before. The entire process has been sabatoged by the same treasonists who’ve massively ramped up Obama’s orchestrated border invasion and electronic voter machine hacks. Like every election since George W. Bush, these crimes will go largely unpunished, with the illegally predetermined elections results unrectified. This will happen because very little was done to prevent it from happening, from the top down.

Kmart blames ban on Christian words on ‘system error’
https://www.news.com.au/finance/business/retail/kmart-blames-ban-on-christian-words-on-system-error/news-story/84f22c818e4b32dd6f4423faee6a692a
Kmart is owned by Westfarmers
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wesfarmers
A Kmart photo kiosk ban on the words “God”, “church”, “Jesus”, “Jewish” and “bible” has been blamed on a software issue, but not everybody is buying it.
A quirk in the system emerged when shoppers tried to add captions to their photographs on Tuesday.
Shoppers Anthony Dorsett and his wife Marelynda were stopped from captioning photographs with the words “church” and “Jesus”, the Daily Telegraph reported.
An investigation that followed revealed a perceived bias. Words like “Islam”, “Allah” and “Koran” were all permissible.
Perfect! What better ringleader could you choose for the 22 ring circus that is the dimocrat party?
Mary, all of those people host opinion-based shows. They just refuse to admit it.
If they put it on CNN it just guarantees only about 17 viewers will tune in. Waste of electricity.
Looks like the Chief Inmate will be running the Asylum.
What a great reason to avoid this delusion fantasmagora at all costs.
