She does her homework and presents what is actually going on with an issue to her audience.

More often than not, she does.



Healthcare is an example of a time she did not. MSNBC's on-air talent was under great pressure by the White House to stop holding Obama and Democrats to their pledge of a public option.

Jonathan Alter, under contract with MSNBC and a lobbyist for Obama's bill early on, got access to insiders in the White House for his book (The Promise). Richard Wolffe, another MSNBC frequenter under contract got similar (but even more and better) access for his book (Obama himself suggested Wolffe write a book about him).
