Why is Andrea Mitchell pissed that she is the star of the Romney lying ads?

[itsrobert]

Did she not report the facts true as she knows them? Or does she want to be loved by both sides? Facts are not a 50/50 game.

1. Did she actually come out to say she's pissed?

[itsrobert]

3. Not those words

14. It looked like she's not happy being tied to the Dems

and she seemed pissed.

It must be her personal choice to mention it -- I can't see MSNBC forcing that on her

Ugh. Boo to Mitchell and to NBC - Fair Use should be invoked and I hope they get sued

2. Being Married to the Most Retarded Economist

in the last 75 years-- Mr Greenspan, Mitchell gets no respect/sympathy from me.

another One Percent front man is what she is

4. It's NBC that's throwing a hissy fit

From what I've read, they've not mentioned any comments from Mitchel -- only from NBC complaining about both sides using clips from their reporters.

5. It's fair use

n/t

[Kookaburra]

9. It is, but my point was

NBC was making all the noise about them using that clip. Unless I'm mistaken, Mrs. Greenspan didn't say anything about the clip.

6. It's NBC, not Mitchell personally, which seems kind of pissy to me.

7. Mrs Greenspan

wants to seem fair and balanced.....

[zbdent]

8. oh ... she should have spoken more clearly ...

They heard "very unbalanced" ...

[itsrobert]

10. Andrea just lashed out on her show

She's not happy. Boo hoo.

[AtomicKitten]

11. Not clear why Mrs. Greenspan or NBC would have their knickers in a twist

... over something they already broadcasted.

[KharmaTrain]

12. In Theory...

...newspeople like Mrs. Greenspan like to put on the pretenses that she is not favoring one party or another. It used to be a hallmark of journalism that you never agreed to be a part of any political campaign or commercial. Now we can discuss if Mrs. Greenspan is a journalist or not but I do agree that one could construe by showing Mrs. Greenspan on the ad that she's endorsing the Obama candidacy...

[flamingdem]

13. It messes up her cred with right wing sh*thead pundits nt

[Curtland1015]

15. Eh. I get the idea of it.

Even if I don't like Andrea Mitchell (I don't), I still get the idea of not wanting to look like you're "endorsing" a specific candidate.

Still... nothing NBC can do about it. So NYAH, NYAH!
