That’s a shame too, I watched both Hayes and Maddow frequently but when they sided with GG on this speculative libertarian fantasy without actually digging up facts, I stopped watching them and will wait for them to come to their senses. Especially Rachael, who has been outstanding on environmental and womens issues as well as Voter suppression and gun control.

It seems like Maddow was letting Hayes do the heavy lifting on that one for the longest time. It’s only recently that she’s weighed in with any comment. I wonder if seeing another gay journalist’s* partner get detained set her on edge a little bit.

I also wonder if it was an editorial decision between MSNBC’s prime time shows to let Hayes slobber all over Snowden/GG. I was hoping Maddow’s relative silence on the matter was a sign of skepticism over the whole affair, although I’m guessing not at this point.

*I know, I know. It’s just easier to shorthand GG this way.
