DMajor: /* The article is devoid of any verifiable facts */

==Note to TK==
I changed the grammar to "has been" because it's a little outdated to say that she's still an opponent of GWB, since he's not president anymore and there's nothing to be against. Your later addition makes sense with the rest of it, but the sentence should probably be divided or rewritten. [[User:JDWpianist|JDWpianist]] 19:14, 7 May 2009 (EDT)

== "There has never been a single instance in which she has criticized Obama or his socialist policies on her television or radio show" ==

Maddow is actually left of the President on many issues and has used her show to call him out on his more centrist policies. She has aired several pieces that are critical of extraordinary rendition, drone attacks in Pakistan and the entire war in Afghanistan to name a few things. she does tend to mute her direct criticism of him. If I'm not mistaken, she also criticizes him for not being forceful enough on the Gay rights issues such as ending don't ask, Don't tell.

Also, "outspoken" is probably a better word the "hysterical," especially if compared to Keith Olbermann, who comes on before her. She tends to be frustratingly sedate and upbeat.

==The article is devoid of any verifiable facts==

It looks like the libs made some small edits over the course of the life of this article in an effort to make us look foolish. I think we should strip it down to the few sentences which can be easily verified and build it from there. Keeping it as is just gives ammunition to the other side.

::All of the points that I removed. They aren't fact, or at least aren't fact supported by the sources.

DMajor: I came here looking for a conservative depiction of the subject and found an article completely devoid of any verifiable facts. Perhaps we should source our claims before broadcasting them.

DMajor: We can certainly do a better job of sourcing our claims. Most of the article is not sourced at all, and the sources that are provided are totally irrelevant to the claims made. It make us look silly.
