You must have overlooked it.

Last night's show...
"Greenland ice sheet melted" NOT correct.
The satellite images show that the ice sheet is melting, NOT that it has all melted. The red is a false color image indicating surface water/slush instead of frozen solid (white). Melting at the surface of the ice sheet is not melting through out the ice sheet. There is more melting of the ice sheet than normal, but saying it has melted implies it has completely melted.
If Rachel is out fishing on vacation, make sure she knows she's got a lot of competition out there...

I think what she is really saying on the @ProducerGuy1 video is that JULIA is in trouble all the time! #badgirl LOL.
GREAT SHOW tonight! good job Ezra, esp the opening segment.
We have dinner with you (Rachel) most nights. Only criticism so far -- you mispronounce "Beijing." Check out "The Two Chinese Characters" for a lesson in how to pronounce it correctly. It should be: Bay Jing.
Always a great job, Rachel. One thing--you mispronounced "Beijing" recently. Check out The Two Chinese Characters to get this right!
Ezra, you do a fine job hosting. However, I don't appreciate your conceit of the "challenges." I am watching the news, I don't care how "boring" it might be, I don't care that you only have three minutes to do something. Mentioning the time you have to explain something only reduces the amount of time you have to explain something. If you need to fill time, there have to be better ways to do it.
When is Rachel coming back?
I agree, I want Rachel back. she's the attraction. She is why I watch The Rachel Maddow Show!
