Jon Steward criticizes Rachel Maddow over Haiti Coverage

Friday, January 15th 8:33pm Matt

Like most news sources Jon Stewart took some time to review the horrible and really and truly racist ways Pat Robertson and Rush Limbaugh politicized the tragic earthquakes in Haiti. But I was happy to see that he also took the time to criticize Rachel Maddow’s politicization of the earthquakes. Rachel basically said Obama and Hillary Clinton are doing a much better job than George W. Bush and Dick Cheney would have. As John Stewart pointed out, this may be true, but this is not the time for that discussion.

Rachel is notorious for choosing her party’s side. She’s pro-union even when a union is killing its company. She’s blind to the truth and only says what she’s supposed to. I was so hoping that Rachel would be a new and clear voice of reason, but she’s turned out to be the opposite of that, and everyone’s noticing. I hope she takes a lesson from this criticism and starts reporting the truth instead of opposite of what Fox News reports. She is likable as a person and has the potential to be really good if she would just not politicize every topic.
