Publisher's Summary

The first biography of the most popular anchor in cable news.  

Rachel Maddow has beaten the odds in a way that's novel in today's America: She uses her brain.  

In a world of banal and opinionated soundbites, she regularly crushes Sean Hannity's ratings thanks to her deeply researched reports. And in our highly polarized world, Maddow amiably engages the staunchest conservatives, while never hesitating to expose their light-on-facts defenses.  

As a result, she's become the top anchor for MSNBC and a beloved representative for all that progressive America holds dear. The news that Maddow was the first publicly-out lesbian to anchor a prime-time TV news show seemed almost anticlimactic to her millions of viewers, who will be surprised and intrigued by little-known details of her life, as written by New York Times best-selling biographer Lisa Rogak.

Disappointing

Rachel Maddow is a brilliant, funny, valuable human being. How anyone, however, can listen to a droning narrative like this is beyond me. I heard “she said”, in a tone that left me questioning whether she really said it, for the 6,734th time and just stopped listening.

I listen to Rachel Maddow everyday

I also would fall into a rabbit hole if I watched TV so I listen via the podcast.

I wonder if the author actually interviewed Maddow for the book. I believe she talked to her Mom, her partner and many staff but I am doubtful she spoke to RM herself.

still enjoyed though.
