Newsweek profiles Rachel Maddow

Rachel Maddow Seizes Her Moment - Newsweek:


After pursuing her doctorate at Oxford, she was working at a coffee joint in Northampton, Mass., when she applied for a morning-zoo gig—on a dare—and a radio career beckoned. After Maddow joined the liberal radio network Air America in 2004, conservative Tucker Carlson tapped her as a contributor for his MSNBC show. “She was completely fun to talk to, doesn’t take political differences personally, but more than that, she’s fast—really fast,” says Carlson, now with Fox.
She is the face of MSNBC now. And they're better off with her as the flagship than they were before. Liberals are better off, too.
