Why does Andrea Mitchell try to pick fights with her guests?

[imanamerican63]

That is not good reporting or doing a quality interview. It’s not just her either. They rather want to get a “gotcha” moment.

1. the Press live for the Gotcha moment. It shows how smart they are

[jrthin]

5. Actually, it shows how stupid, self-absorbed, and narcissistic they are.

[bottomofthehill]

6. you are right,

I should have said it shows how smart they think they are...

2. IMHO

She isn't a good reporter. She is slow and, remember. she is married to Alan Greenspan. He is a RWNJ.

7. She has a simmering hostility toward Democrats and in particular toward the Clintons.

She's unfit for her job. She's well beyond her sell-by date. If she were canned, the tin would be expanding. If she were bread, it would be covered in mold. If she were eggs, you could smell her through the closed refrigerator door. If she were milk, she'd be curdled. If she was meat, she'd be rancid. If she was cheese, even the mice would reject her. If she were a cupcake, it would have hair growing on it.

8. Thank you

You certainly have a way with words. I never liked her. She was the main speaker at my granddaughter's college graduation. Totally could not understand her as she blubbered away.

3. It's entertainment, and apparently that's

the particular kind of entertainment her audience wants.

4. Mary Louise Kelly on NPR does this too.

She was badgering an ambassador to say that Biden had screwed up our relationship with the ambassador’s country. Each time the guest calmly and politely told her why she was wrong. But Kelly kept badgering. I won’t listen to her any more.
