The minute I first heard Rachel on Air America I knew that she was bound for bigger things. She is the rightwing's biggest nightmare: Attractive, brilliant, progressive lesbian with a Ph.D. They can never catch up.

Rachel had high praise for bloggers as a news source in this interview. I think she secretly looks at the Digg front page and uses that as a guide for her show. I've noticed a strong correlation when she hosted KO in the past. And why not, if it's popular on Digg and not being covered by the MSM then you have just created a new audience on cable. Think of Digg as a constantly updated poll in what topics people are really interested in, not the ones the MSM tells us we are supposed to be interested in.
