Tonight Rachel had a great segment on her MSNBC TV show.
I love the fact that she basically had a 7 minute long military planning session on national television. She and her guest went really in depth on how the recent terrorist attacks in India could affect our military operations in Afghanistan. You really got a feel for the complexity of the situation. I feel like this kind of coverage has really been absent over the past 8 years due to this administration's tendencies to look at the world in black and white. The framing done by the whitehouse seemed to constrain how those in the main stream media talked about issues (to the detriment of the country in my opinion). I'm glad to see that Rachel is challenging the conventional wisdom on what viewers are interested in when it comes to news.

That's a quality news report. I still can't bring myself to watch cable news, though; even if the show itself is good, the commercials drive me insane.
You can actually podcast her TV and radio show. The radio show is commercial free. I'm not sure about the video podcast of the TV show. Just search for Rachel Maddow in the iTunes store. :)
