Hi everyone. It's been a while since I've been in the forum (since the election pretty much).
I'm a big news channel surfer. Fox, MSNBC, CNN for the most part, since they are right next to each other on my cable stations. During the elections when, admittedly, emotions were running high, I came across Mrs Maddow while she seemed to be doing a lot of Keith Olberman. I didn't really care for her then because she seemed to come across on the tad bit vicious side towards the Republicans.
So I put her down in my mind as being on the center left to far left of the political spectrum.
This past week I've been surfing again and came across her. Paused to listen and was shocked as she went after President Elect Obama on quite a few issues one of which was broken campaign promises.
She was really quite funny and came across in a manner which I not only liked but she was able to break it down to it's simplest form.
I have to say I was impressed and might have been wrong about my first impression of her. Granted, forming an impression about someone during one of the most emotionally charged elections in recent history probably wasn't a good idea.
So when I come across Mrs Maddow again, I'll pause and listen to what she is saying with more than just half an ear.
