If the New Republic's Rebecca Dana is correct, MSNBC's Rachel Maddow is more deluded than anyone thought.
In her lengthy piece about MSNBC president Phil Griffin, Dana claimed Maddow believes the reason President Obama hasn't given the cable network an interview since 2008 is because "his people know he’s going to get asked difficult questions":
Many of MSNBC’s hosts are also more liberal than the White House is, particularly on issues like drone warfare, indefinite detention, and relief for the financial sector. And Maddow argues that Obama avoids the network (he hasn’t agreed to an interview since 2008) in part because his people know he’s going to get asked difficult questions. “What MSNBC has done is help create something of a North Star for a lot of progressive opinion to follow,” says Erik Smith, a senior media adviser to both Obama campaigns. “But as quickly as they’re with you, they can be on the left of you. It’s not like it’s a booster club on the air.” Axelrod noted the network’s lack of support after Obama’s poor first debate performance. “I wasn’t terribly happy about it,” he says of the MSNBC backlash, “but there’s no doubt they were opinion leaders.”
Can you imagine any of Obama's biggest cheerleaders in the media - Maddow, Martin Bashir, Chris Matthews, Al Sharpton, Ed Schultz, Lawrence O'Donnell - asking Obama a single tough question?
The reality is Obama has no reason going on MSNBC.
His shills there are already reading his talking points verbatim 24 hours a day 7 days a week.
“Why have you failed so far in your plan to round up all {insert members of groups Madcow doesn’t like} and kill them in the camps?”
“Why do you allow dissent to continue?”
“Why haven’t you used your superpowers to burn out conservatives’ brains?”
And so on, and so on...
That Rachel, she’s such a card!
Tough questions for Obama... What is your favorite brand of cigarette? ...When you were smoking pot with the Choom Gang what was your favorite kind of pot?
Like "Who do you think is the prettier of your daughters, Sasha or Malia?"
Anyway. A couple of things. Al-Quida(?) was deeply saddened that Keith Olbermann was let go from whatever rock he was under at the time. And, they were very supportive of CNN and MSNBC. Hated Fox.
Bunch of other stuff that was very interesting and it seemed they touched on many subjects that would be devastating to the Democrats. But kinda just mentioned in passing.
Delusion: it’s not just a river in Egypt.
“If you were a tree, what kind of tree would you be?” The “journalist” who is famous for asking this tough question is considered one of the greatest of all time.
What a knee-slapper...
“a North Star for a lot of progressive opinion to follow...”
Sorry, Erik. Karl Marx owns that spot.
LMAO!
Mr. President, do you ever feel isolated because you are forty seven times as brilliant as any other living human? Are you able to look in a mirror without being blinded by your own radiance? Do you ever wonder why you were picked to be the savior of mankind? If you were asked politely would you, in your infinite compassion, possibly consent to serve a third term? Have you ever known anyone who deserved to be allowed to sit at your feet and adore you?
Real tough questions, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
Just who is this Rachel Maddow guy anyway and why is he always so snarky?
Now you are taking it to a new level of tough questions. I can see why he would not want to face the likes of Matthews or Raddow.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
That's why Fox news gets all his interviews!

“Are you really as bad as those evil right-wingers say you are?”
