What did you expect? GOP quick to betray promises of small government
MSNBC's Maddow
BY PATRICE GREANVILLE
RACHEL MADDOW’s trajectory at MSNBC has been erratic, perhaps a reflection of the internal tension between two mutually contradictory drives: the desire to tell the truth while also keeping a foot firmly planted in establishment territory, a common career dilemma for media liberals such as Maddow.
Maddow’s blind spots are many and notorious, including the fact that to this day she remains more or less a loyal Democratic party booster and Obama apologist, not to mention her undeniable infatuation with things geeky, of which the US military has an ample arsenal. The latter has made Maddow a full-fledged member of that dubious caste of war correspondents, the “transient embedded journalist”.
The preceding should not cancel her contributions when in moments of political daring and lucidity she attacks people who richly deserve to be attacked and exposed, like, for example, just about the totality of that criminal, above-ground enterprise calling itself the Republican party. As it is, and despite her enormous flaws, she’s about as good as it gets in corporate media, and, in terms of personal skill, she has few peers in sheer didactic skill. It would be peachy if one of these days she applied the same muscular passion she lavishes on Republicans on their partners in this fraudulent political Kabuki, the notoriously complicit Democrats. Below, her latest blast at the current crop of GOP criminals, a mob of rabid locusts laying waste to the remaining shreds of democracy in this benighted United States.
