And they still came at her with the pablum. I’d watch her show if she was to have a time slot with them..I think it was a real mistake to fire her and how she was treated by the management at MSNBC

I think not being obligated to one channel gives someone the freedom to speak more freely ... as long as they will give you the time.

I agree with this comment ....

"This points out one of the reasons why Trump wants to destroy education and records of history. Without historical context, records, we cannot begin to understand our current problems. We can't begin to fix them properly. And we can't begin to ensure that those who are committing crimes or actions that are illegal, immoral, etc. are held accountable.

I love that she injects the need to rewind to the real source of the hate. These guys were only going as far back as their selective rememberance that starts with, "they hate us" rhetoric based in ignorance, xenophobia, and nationalism. And they accepted that as "reasons."
