88. She and Lawrence are wonderful and very brave.

Rachel, Lawrence and other truth tellers on MSNBC are worth watching.

I would hate to lose this station. It has had its disappointing exceptions but overall, is providing good news coverage. For me the best shows start at 4PM weekdays and on the weekends at 8AM.

MSNBC needs our support and has mine.
