I saw it last night.......boring, plain and simple.

Olbermann Lite.

I'll watch it a bit more to see if it improves....it was her first night.

Well -- I pretty much hate all the news shows, except the Sunday talks.  I like Rachel personally.  And I agree with her on the issues.

But I would rather all the networks just dropped the "opinion passing as news" shows.

Opinion 4. Saw her on MSNBC's panel at the RNC (if I recall). I wonder if we'll soon see the death of the opinion news show...this particular trend has to end sometime.

Her left wing views make Keith Olbermann look like Sean Hannity.

I watched it Monday and Tuesday, and at first i thought it was a really poorly organized show, but they worked out the kinks Tuesday night and it's a pretty good show.

Full disclosure of course: I'm a pretty big Maddow fan, but I think it's pretty good to have more shows that are dedicated more towards digging into what candidates are saying, rather than just reporting what they're saying and not covering anything in any serious way.

Remember media, fact-checking is a good thing.

No/No

I find her to be a rather annoying personality.

It's essentially Countdown without Olbermann's occasionally appealing self-righteousness. Maddow's certainly far left of center, but she's pretty tolerable as far as talking heads go. I'd rather listen to her than Chris Mathews.

I didn't watch but I have to say that I usually find her a lot more tolerable than Olbermann. She seems pretty...likeable...at times.

Haven't seen it yet, but I do really like Maddow and agree with her on almost everything,

New shows aren't usually very good at first, takes some time to get their act together. I remember The Colbert Report not being very good when it first came on.

It's on right now, going to catch some of it.

I would, but no MSNBC or Verizon Fios because of a deal signed between Cablevision and MSNBC
