Rachel Maddow put as fine a point on recent developments to emerge from the Special Counsel investigation into the Trump campaign and possible collusion with Russian agents indicted for interfering in the 2016 general election.
News broke earlier this week that Trump’s legal team were collaborating with Paul Manafort’s lawyers, ostensibly to gain insight into what specifically Robert Mueller’s team was looking into in their probe. Manafort has pleaded guilty to both Federal and state-level crimes. He is alleged to have lied to federal agents, putting his plea agreement in jeopardy.
Maddow said: “The president and his legal team are now admitting out loud in public that they are colluding with a convicted felon to surreptitiously gain intelligence on the prosecution that is investigating the president.”
There is a very good reason that the Trump era has been very good for Rachel Maddow and her ever-increasing ratings: her fact-based reporting in a sea of cable news prime time “truthiness” is something of an oasis in a metaphorical desert of opinions and bias-reinforcing talking points. Yes, she comes from a progressive point of view, but her show is consistently based on facts and well-reasoned and long-form analysis, and not the baseless accusations and spin one might find on other programs.
What makes her show so compelling to here viewers, however, also represents the primary reason she doesn’t show up on Mediaite very often. Her analysis isn’t always conducive to the headlines gleaned from her over-the-top and hyperbolic commentary of her cable news competitors.
