Rachel Maddow, political commentator and talk show host on MSNBC, informed the audience, politically curious people, with new details of the Sandy Hook shooting that were uncovered by the
Hartford Courant. She brought up an astounding statistic: the killer shot 152 bullets in less than five minutes. All it took was five minutes to kill 26 people. Maddow adds credibility to her news segment by listing shocking statistics that put things into perspective as well as citing credible people such as Senator Dianne Feinstein of California. On the topic of gun control, Maddow showed a tense exchange between Ted Cruz and senator Feinstein about guns. Maddow's ultimate purpose of this episode was to bring to light the condescending and sexist ways of some incompetent politicians. "Let the record show that you can be a United States Senator for 21
years, you can be 79-years-old, you can be the chair of the Senate
Select Committee on Intelligence and one of the most recognizable and
widely respected veteran public servants in your nation, but if you are
female while all of other those things, men who you defeat in arguments
will still respond to you by calling you hysterical and telling you to
calm down," Maddow stated.
Maddow did an excellent job keeping the audience's attention whilst presenting facts in a concise yet informative manner. She added her own thoughts and opinions to certain things but she did not let her bias rule the facts. She was unbiased and fair and made rather valid points.
