The Nation , the magazine best known for having significant trouble arriving in your mailbox in one piece, has a somewhat ridiculous take on Rachel Maddow’s extensive coverage of the Trump/Russia ties:

Yes, Rachel should shift her focus to the awfulness of Hillary and the graciousness of Bernie!

Rachel and MSNBC are in the TV business. Right now they are making TV that is attracting more eyeballs in prime time than they ever have.

Maybe The Nation can focus on other issues…once they sort out how to publish a magazine that doesn’t fall apart en route to my mailbox.

I find this attitude (and similarly annoying but differently nuanced ones) common among those with a financial interest in appealing to the broadest of bases, and rare among those who really know how politics work, and have an interest in making politics work for more people.
