Rachel Maddow Spreads False News
For the past couple of years, Rachel Maddow has been the protagonist of her own spy-thriller. She wrote, directed, and starred in this successful production, one monologue at a time.
However, the storyline took an unexpected turn — when she turned out to be entirely mistaken.
With relentless dedication, Maddow looked deep into the Russia probe night after night, building up anticipation with each monologue. She was steadfast in her conviction that there was collusion between Donald Trump and the Russians, possibly an ongoing one.
The Mueller probe was undeniably newsworthy, but Maddow approached it with a notably conspiratorial tone and style, often presenting the developments with an air of breathlessness and excitement. She meticulously analyzed every aspect related to the probe, including dramatic readings of legal transcripts.
Throughout her coverage, there was a prevailing sense that she could connect the dots and uncover the hidden forces shaping headlines, from the 2016 election to Trump’s foreign policies, all tracing back to Russia. She expressed concerns about Russian influence not only during the campaign but also within the administration.
It’s crucial to recognize the deep delusion that underpinned her coverage as the evidence consistently pointed away from a Trump-Russia conspiracy.
This narrative required disregarding common sense, expert statements refuting collusion claims, policy differences between Trump and previous administrations regarding Russia, and the lack of indictments for collusion in the Mueller probe Maddow remained undeterred, continuing to raise questions without fully grappling with the reality that Mueller found no collusion.
Maddow’s coverage contributed to feeding paranoia, setting unrealistic expectations for viewers, and diverting attention from more productive political avenues.
Priceless Hypocrisy
Maddow has stated “there is a cost to us as a news organization to knowingly broadcast untrue things. We are here to bring you the news. It hurts our ability to do that if we live broadcast what we fully expect in advance to be a litany of lies and false accusations, no matter who says them. And I do not say this with any glee.“
In reality, nothing could be farther from the truth.
Rachel is obviously more intent on delivering a passionate political message rather than any form of “news” or truth.
But let’s give credit where credit is due, when Rachel lies, she lies BIG – it’s a MAJOR, well-polished production.
March of 2021, Rachel Maddow aired a segment about the COVID vaccines that was chock full of misinformation and outright deceptions, as the MSNBC host alleged that vaccines prevented both infection and transmission — statements that did not reflect the science at the time nor have they been borne out by subsequent research. Yet the segment remains viewable on social media platforms and Maddow faces ZERO consequences for perpetuating these blatant lies.
