Fire Andrea Mitchel....

[getagrip_already]

She is on msnbc babbling about the dems wanting to not call witnesses in the senate because it is potentially disasterous to drag out the trial.

WTF.

Seriously? It will be toxic? Get the hook!

1. Mrs. Greenspan doing the work of the GOP.

2. Yeah. Replace her with Heidi. Heidi spoke up and shut her up

Can't Mitchell just fade into the sunset? And it's after one o'clock, why is she on?

3. It's just spin to create controversy for the ratings

The media loves the horse race. They cannot survive without it.

I’m old enough to remember when the news was really dull because networks stuck to the facts.

I’m also old enough to remember when CNN first went to a 24 hour feed. They actually had reporters stationed permanently in other countries and they reported on the world stage.

The changes with the advent of the internet have been revolutionary and profound albeit going through the changes doesn’t feel as drastic as it actually is, in terms of the extent of the societal and institutional changes. The emotional upheaval, though, of not knowing what will happen is also very real.

I find it all fascinating and exciting when I perceive it objectively. That adage about shooting the arrow in the air, not knowing where it will fall comes to mind. There’s a tense anticipatory excitement in not knowing.

6. "They... had reporters stationed permanently in other countries and they reported on the world"

That was when Ted Turner ran it and they had 2 people per country with a car and a sat phone.

They do still have CNN International - I actually watched it back in 1992 while cruising down the Nile River in Egypt. They would take the domestic feed and would broadcast that over their international feed around prime time (8 pm ET).

4. I'm pretty sure it's the Rs who don't want to call witnesses

being they'd be under oath and all...

5. She has ALWAYS been a repig and still is.

[Fla Dem]

7. Aside from all that's been mentioned...she is boring as hell.

I've had msnbc on in the background while doing stuff around the house. Her low key, slow dialogue is putting me to sleep. She is the polar opposite of Chris Matthews.

8. Replacing Andrea with

Heidi sounds marvelous.

9. + 1000 n/t

[maxsolomon]

10. she's not going anywhere. she's there till she wants to go.

her prestige and legacy make her 100% safe until she decides to retire.

chuck todd being fired is more likely.

11. She sucks, almost as bad as Chuck Todd.
