As opposed to being 99% lib

    Why do people like Emma so much(other than just parasocial girl next door GF stuff) when she can't riff that well and doesn't have any particularly strong areas of expertise like Michael was with int'l socialism? Her well-rounded political knowledge is very lib, and less detailed than what Sam brings to the show.

    I haven't watched barely a minute since the death of Michael, usually just to check out the context of some Jamie clips I came across, and Emma is never really adding much to the show save for getting Sam to dab.

      Idk about her on the majority report, but what she did at TYT and on her own was quite good, even if it was lib shit. She did a lot of reporting on interesting things, which is a lot more valuable than being a majority report cohost tbh

        It could be an interesting direction for TMR to take if she does field reporting if/when the pandemic ends.

        She's gonna need time to grow into that commentator role, that just is what it is.

        Plus, everyone sees her as Michael's replacement for obvious reasons, but Michael is simply not replaceable, and that's hard to accept.

      Probably because she goes with Sam's vibe that women on the show should be pretty and not push back on his bullshit

        It is coming from their fans reaction to literally the last time I was on their sub and saw MR fans talk about Emma:

        🤓 such a goddamned cute/hilarious reaction right there

        Crush ended with Jamie. Now Emma is my best crush.

        Emma's the drinking buddy, Jamie's the stoner friend.

        IDK why, but this is legitimately the funniest thing I've seen all day! I mean, I love Emma (pretty sure I'm IN love with her), so I could be biased, but I thought that was great.
