As each major media network has turned to the crisis surrounding President Joe Biden’s age and potential dropout, MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow took nearly two hours to interview and glorify adult film actress, Stormy Daniels. The interview consisted of softball questions, a reenactment of Daniels' time on the witness stand, and a general glorification of the porn star. Overall, the show was a clear ploy to shift the focus away from the failing president and back on Trump.
From the beginning, it became clear the tone the host was hoping to promote. She spoke of the political consequences the case had, and complained of a postponed sentence. With a clearly frustrated, “Ta Da!” Maddow continued to speak about Trump, comparing his situation to Daniels, who apparently, unlike Trump, is, “a real life person.” Concluding a nearly 10-minute monologue, filled with praise, aggrandizement, and political agenda Maddow introduced her guest:
We will talk about that tonight including what that has meant for this one life that she has on Earth, we will talk about what it means for us citizens whose country’s history has been profoundly shaped now by this one woman, insisting that she should tell what she knows, regardless of the threats, regardless of the targeting and damn, the consequences. With that, here is Stormy Daniels.
