Rachel Maddow Openly Mocked in Interview, Claims she is "Not Biased," then Refuses to Answer Questions

Almost every day, the website Reddit has someone either on television, the radio, or garnered their fame from the internet answer questions. These are called "AMAs," or "Ask Me Anything," and are considered interviews and the people asking questions are actual users of the site.

Today, Rachel Maddow did not want to answer everything. In fact, she hardly answered any questions during her time on Reddit. Towards the end of it, Maddow refused to answer the most popular questions, answered others ridiculously, and ended up being openly mocked by users who accusingly stated that "she is in the back pocket of the Obama administration, just like MSNBC/NBC."

On Reddit, "upvotes" determine the most popular comments and questions. Maddow openly ignored the most popular ones. For example, the question "What do you think is the single worst offense being committed by the Obama administration right now?" was utterly disregarded.

Maddow confirming on Twitter that it is indeed her answering questions

This more specific question was also ignored:

Rand Paul's anti-drone filibuster lasted 13 hours, but no Democrat besides Ron Wyden showed floor support. Individuals at your network have even been openly hostile to Paul.

John Brennan has been on the wrong side of numerous controversial post-9/11 issues. Four years ago, his advocacy of torture forced him to withdraw for top CIA spot. Yesterday all but two Democrats voted to confirm him.

So after ceding authority on drones to Repulicans (sic), Democrats gave near unanimous approval to a scoundrel.

• Hasn't this been a pathetic showing for "progressive" Democrats?

• Are power and party so much more important than (alleged) principles?

• Was Democrats' anti-war talk of the 00's just opportunistic sloganeering for electoral success? If not, what happened to them?

In response to Maddow's refusal to answer questions, users openly griped that she carried out the "Worst AMA ever...."

Another user derided: "have you read the rest of her answers/non-answers? no possible chance she bites on this one. If she does she'll just talk around the issue and use empty rhetoric."

In response to her refusal to answer another question, a user remarked:

It's never going to happen. If you have ever seen her on Bill Maher, a liberal show, she can't handle any negatives about the Obama administration nor can she have a constructive conversation. If fact, one Bill Maher show she claimed that the other panelists were attacking her when all they were doing was pushing her for answer she didn't want to give. She is in the back pocket of the Obama administration, just like MSNBC/NBC.

Maddow was also mocked for the rare answers she did give. Asked the question, "Do you think you're biased?" Maddow responded:

Not more than the average bear. I try to be open about where I'm coming from and what I believe, while also being trustworthy about the facts of what's going on in the world.

Users again mocked Maddow for her obvious lie. User totentanz777 quipped, "Today I Learned (TIL) Rachel Maddow is a bear." Another jeered, "Wake up."

In all, after over an hour of questions, Maddow answered just over a dozen. Her non-answers however, at least to Redditors, spoke much more loudly.
