Rachel Maddow: “I’ve Actually Never Watched Network News My Whole Life”

MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow is interviewed by USA Weekend‘s Gayle Jo Carter:

• On how she gets her news: “I exist, essentially, totally online in my news-gathering experience, and that means you can seek out what you want and find almost as much depth as you want on any one thing that you want.”

• If she has a favorite news anchor: “I’ve actually never watched network news my whole life. Growing up, we were not a network news family.”

• The guest she wants for her show, but who hasn’t yet appeared: “Dick Cheney or his daughter Liz Cheney, who has done every other cable news show in the world but won’t come on my show.”
