Shock! Rachel Maddow Covers Up Her Error

[AdmiraalW238]

...
If this is indeed an error, I'll bet she corrects her error on a future show. She's made mistakes before and always corrects them.
...

Exactly ... when she makes a mistake she will correct it ... have you ever seen Orielly + Beck do that ... nope.

And it was a slip up on a live broadcast that happens all the time ... it was refilmed for later broadcast ... big deal.

 

[Knucklehead]

That's all you have on her? That she did a retake to correct (if this story is even true) a word whisker? Give me a break.

Meanwhile you defend tooth and nail Republipukes making outright lies. People doing this have no integrity, and those that defend them are even worse.

That's about it too..They will defend every talking point of the right wing,no matter how flawed,or false..Yet they act like a bunch of ankle biting little pomerianians over a re-take of a national broadcast..

I guess after years of watching Fox,which has no interest in acccuracy or the truth,they don't know how to respond when they run across someone that does..

Geeez, how sad it is to see a group of Americans so deep in denial that the political party they love has failed so miserably, and they can't accept it. The Republican party of today wouldn't elect Ronald Reagan, George HW Bush, Nixon or Eisenhower. They've morphed into a hate filled group who's current leaders are a failed Governor of a tiny-populated state / former beauty queen, an insane suicidal alcoholic , a drug addicted serial monogamist hate-spewing demagogue and worship a failed former president who lied about war and tortured and ran American's economy right into the ground.

This pathetic pack of rag-tag fear mongers will never be in power again, and it's eating out their insides. I feel very sorry for anyone who has been infected with their vile propaganda. Stupid is as stupid does.

ON TOPIC:

Rachel Maddow is pone of the best journalists on the air today. She will correct her mistake and when she does I'll post you the link.

OOOH..... she's a Rhodes Scholar and has a doctorate in political science. Can you say the same thing about Palin, Beck, Limbaugh and Bush?

Yeah,it's amazing to watch them eat their own in their primaries now, each trying to ''out right'' the other.Disgusting creatures they are..

On to Rachel though,on her worst day,she is better than any one of the liars at Fox.Even in her Air America days..

True dat.

"Chance" was supposedly pretty ok offline according to Alfie. I never cared to get to know him myself. Sultan.... well let's just say:

I've met Chance a couple of times in NYC..He was alright,for a right winger.At least he had a personality and was really gay.Which is more than I can say for the operatives that we have here now..Together,the new ones don't have the personality of a bag of doorknobs..

Here's the wiki link about Ms. Maddow:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rachel_Maddow

Holy Cow, she's been festooned with awards!

She's done more for gays and lesbians than any Republican or right-wing journalist has ever done. Every gay person owes her a debt of gratitude to her for giving visibility to our community like no gay person has ever done before. She's smashed stereotypes.

Thanks Rachel! Everyone here at JUB owes you!

Yeah,look at her..What a ''tough guy'' huh?

Jack Springer, thanks for bringing up her name and letting us talk about her and her accomplishments. The more her name is brought up, the more people are aware of her.

Didn't you create a thread about her?? Oh the irony..

Not a fan of either -- but I'd bet Hannity is making much more money than Maddow.

Yes, so,because Hannity makes more than her, he must be telling people the truth is that it? No,wait .That can't be it.He's a proven liar and a hack.Why is it it important that he makes more than Rachel?

That sounds like the same logic the morons on the right use when they talk about The Pigman Limbaugh..''He has 20 million listeners,so he must be right..''

No,it doesn't mean he's right.It just means that he is a very well paid hack for corporate America.It also means that there are a whole lot of stupid people out there that think a multi millionaire corporate whore really has their best interests at heart..

That's where I stopped reading.

I don't take homophobia from anyone. Your opinions are clearly all totally invalid.

Q F T !!! .................................

 

[Jack Springer]

I don't see that she made an error at all. It looked to me like she was doing a little mockery of the governor.

My guess is they did another take because it wasn't clear that she was mocking -- or because the producer decided the mockery wasn't a good thing (or both).

You evidently didn't watch both videos.

 

[BostonPirate]

You evidently didn't watch both videos.

dude if this is the best you can do to slam maddow then you are making her look better in the process, not worse.

 

[Kulindahr]

You evidently didn't watch both videos.

I watched the first video three times. Well, I actually watched it once, listened to it once, then watched it again,

I didn't hear any error -- I heard mockery. It was kind of weak, but my call is that she was mocking the governor.

You don't have a sense of humor, didn't read what I wrote --- I hear so much on this site how wonderful a journalist that Rachel Maddow is - perfect, makes no mistakes, is accurate, does not spin.

I just happened upon the article. If you read what I first wrote I didn't look for anything else -- I have no desire to "diss" her -- just wanted to show that she wasn't perfect.

Many of you went into personal attacks on me - -started talking about politicians you "hate", etc. It's getting really difficult to come back to JUB.

If you're wanting to have a site where everyone agrees and there is no discussion --- you're going down the right road. It will get real boring and then die.

 

[andysayshi]

Rachel the man/woman of MSNBC

You go, girl! Jack, sweetie, you are a member of the sisterhood! You should pull on a frilly dress like all gay girly men do and swish down to NBC so you can show Maddow what a REAL woman looks like. After all, gay women are mannish, and gay men are girls, right?

 

[MercuryJones]

How about where everyone just agrees to not be a disingenuous asshole?

The way you pounced on people who expressed a different opinion gives an impression of something other than "humor" going on.

That aside, I've never heard a claim here that she's perfect -- just that she's what a journalist should be. She makes mistakes, and admits it, etc.

She is idolized on this site all the time.

However, the biggest issue for me is that CE&P appears to going in the direction where some people are not allowed to have a different opinion.

Not all gays/bi's have the same beliefs, standards, morals, etc.

I always enjoy your posts Kulindahr, you have always seemed to be a free thinker. Please continue that way.

Who here has the power to prevent you from having or airing an opinion?

Having your errors pointed out doesn't prevent you from having an opinion.

 

[fetaby]

going in the direction where some people are not allowed to have a different opinion.

Having an opinion is all well and good, how you state that opinion is what seems to matter. On the other hand, any responses to an opinion are opinions as well.

So what does it matter?

I'm reminded of "Dr." Laura claiming that people being critical of her somehow infringed on her free speech.... as if their criticism wasn't also free speech.

Some people who claim to be conservatives have the funny notion that they are entitled to say anything they like without analysis or criticism.

Must be hard to be so fragile!

Nope. The issue is that the nasty, sneering, liberal-hate, hit and run posting tactics are being called out by more and more posters.

By all means, post conservative opinions on any subject. But just for a change, why don't you, Pixel and Laika post an actual logical, positive, arguments about an issue instead of a steady, toxic stream of 'gotcha' posts.

Of course Maddow is generally adored by homos. She is erudite, savvy and incredibly enjoyable to listen to.

Unlike virtually any of the mainstream and far-right journalistas, she actually takes up the cause of the homos.
She can make a hundred errors in math (which I'm not sure she made; I tend to agree with Kuli's view) but you know what? She has made way more spot on calls and done a far greater service to her viewers than the hate brigade over at FOX.

I'm only a free thinker when I can't find a way to charge for it.

And that sort of thing has been generating in turn a lot of liberal posts that sound like a left version of Glen Beck. It's bad enough hearing that from one side.....

 

[rareboy]

^ I actually see that I had deleted the sentence after the 'gotcha posts'. I originally had written 'It is a zero sum game; anyone can play and one 'gotcha' post is only going to bring on another.' It is true. It has been generating a blow-back of the same from the 'kool-aid' drinking liberals who hang around here as well.

But don't expect me to feel the least bit of pity when someone refers to one of the savviest journalists today as a man/woman. As usual, Springer manages to obliterate any credibility for his positions when he writes stuff like that.

And frankly, for someone who has never, as far as I know, contributed anything of substance to posts discussing issues of homo/lesbian politics and issues, I suspect that the avatar Springer, with only 702 posts over 7 years likely isn't going to leave a big hole on the boards if he flounces off in a snit because he doesn't feel the love.

I don't have "comment diarrhea" where I have to continually comment on everything - I'm not interested in how many posts I have or how many threads I've started. I've only been active on this site for the last two years because I've had more free time. I do have a life -- it doesn't revolve around this site.

One of the reasons I don't follow-up often with a comment is that a typical response is usually something to do with how bad the following people are -- Bush, O'Reilly, Hannity, Rowe, Beck, etc. Even when the subject has nothing to do with them.

It may have been a poor choice of words on my part to call Maddow man/woman. But she does stereotype what a lot of hetro's think of as a macho lesbian. Whether you agree with that or not, I don't care.

And continuing this stereotype is helpful how?

By using those words you've effectively continued the prejudice of the heteronormative bigots.
