Rachel Maddow Has Lost My Support

Rachel,

Wow, you have changed since you left Air America Radio for the MSNBC spotlight.  I wish I could say the change helped to mold you into a more informative presenter of news and politics, or a commentator that used the platform she became blessed with to assure the audience would also become more informed with progressive political discourse and activism, but I can't.

When I watch now, I see little difference between you and other MSNBC pendants. You no longer bring up con traversal topics or report on stories that differ from the others and definitely have more value than the ones you are all reporting.

Where are the stories about soldiers that are being tortured by their own platoons and military leaders?  Where is the Ron Paul coverage?  Where is the push back against terrible policies President Obama is passing in secret like the Defense Act on New Years Eve that takes more of our civil liberties away?

It is not worth watching your show when you refuse to do any real intelligent journalism.  You do stories with surface coverage and gloss over the ones that deserve some attention. I have little interest in shows that will waste my time for an hour.

I want real news, real stories.  I want the truth and I'm tired of hearing your opinions on two candidates when there is four of them left. I truly hope you stop trying to predict the elections in the future and learn that your opinion does not matter, the peoples do.  If you refuse to acknowledge that Ron Paul has supporters that get angry when you ignore him or distort the truth about the elections, I will refuse to watch your show.

You don't report on the TSA violating our children at airports, or how they continue to put their hands down our pants and take off our babies diapers looking for bombs.  Really?  How can you not point out that these people might not be the best ones to find real threats to our country if they think our babies have diaper bombs.  How they strip search 80-year old women and lie about it only to apologize later.  You let the Obama administration lie and say that Rand Paul was not detained by TSA when he definitely was detained and missed his flight.  You don't report on the thousands of Ron Paul supporters welcoming him to Florida even though he didn't even campaign there and then act like there are only two choices left. Two horrible non-conservative, flip-flopping liars are pushed as the only reasonable choices. Really Rachel?  Ron Paul is the one with crazy views, but Newt can talk about a moon state and you still act like he's relevant.

Dr. Paul says he wants to give us our civil liberties back and stop sending us off to undeclared wars, but he's irrelevant?  I tell you one thing, at least he will not pass some horrible unconstitutional act in secret that violates the law and takes away our rights.  How can you not support a man of principal, of conscience and a man with a 20-year conservative record of abiding by the law and the constitution of the United States.  That is something that should be praised, not balked at.  I sincerely hope you realize how many people you have disappointed when your platform fell from grace..
