It occurs to me that Andrea Mitchell doesn't like President Biden

[imanamerican63]

She goes after him every time she can. She attacked him on Afghanistan and budget bill today and she cut General McCaffery off when she did like the answer he gave about yesterday’s hearing.

[2naSalit]

1. She doesn't like Democrats, period.

And she doesn't care much for democracy either. She's a born again capitalist of the worst kind which includes war mongering.

[LiberalFighter]

2. Exactly!

[dhol82]

3. Yup!

Makes it really obvious.

[Evolve Dammit]

40. You can feel it through the screen. Hubby Alan must be proud every day. Old school hard core GOP.

[WinstonSmith4740]

41. Yep.

She's been pissing me off since the Reagan Administration. They were notorious for basically patting women on the head and telling us not to worry our pretty little heads about this man stuff, and she played into it. I mean, what do you expect from someone who's married to Alan Greenspan? I pretty much have MSNBC on all day in the background, but she and Chuck Todd make me grab the remote every time.

[gordianot]

47. Hillary Clinton knows how to give her the death stare.

Andrea caught it good in 2016 the night of the election.

[uponit7771]

55. "she doesn't care much for democracy either" ... seems to be going around these days

[FlyingPiggy]

60. Exactly! She has been a Republican stooge for years.

Can’t stand her! I refuse to watch anything w her.

[Mike Nelson]

4. Well...

... I don't watch her at all - in fact, I make it a point to have the TV OFF or on another station well before she appears! Sadly, she's one of Rachel Maddow's friends, and that's the last time I saw her - on Rachel's show.

... I believe she did not care much for Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama, either. It showed... she did seem happy reporting on the EMAILS! She reported the same email story for months... each time like it was BREAKING NEWS - but, there was nothing new, really.

[spooky3]

17. I think Maddow respects Mitchell for being a pioneer

More than anything. She knows how hard it was for women when Mitchell broke in.

[Mike Nelson]

22. I think...

... that respect comes across, in their appearances together.

[Hekate]

23. That's what comes across to me. Truly, Mitchell was a pioneer & deserves respect for that...

However, her next big achievement needs to be a retirement banquet at NBC, imho.

[certainot]

42. i'll drink to her retirement banquet, may it be soon

[2naSalit]

61. It's always politics...

Of one sort or another. Mitchell was on every show during the Iraqi evacuation. She has a lot of clout with her network and probably owns a big chunk of stock in it which means when she feels she needs to go shit-talk someone or something, she can foist herself upon the hosts because there are few who could keep her off their show. Watching Rachel's body language and discomfort during their conversation, it seemed like Rachel was on script because it would have been unpleasant if she had not stepped out of the way and let Mitchell have her say.

Mitchell is a war monger and is likely among the war profiteers.

That's how I saw it at least.

[acantharchus]

5. I turn her and Chuck Todd off and go to CNN. n/t

[Rebl2]

24. I don't watch

either of them. I turn to my local news @ 11 & noon.

[Ford_Prefect]

54. Fox Lite?????? Pull the other one, please.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

6. I do not watch her or Todd

[XanaDUer2]

8. nor do I nt

[spooky3]

16. Ditto nt

[Hekate]

25. If I cruise by and see an interesting guest, I'll pause awhile before changing channels...

My time-zone has them both airing in the morning, and there’s a small tv in the kitchen — easy to check the news headlines while doing kitchen-things. There are just some things up with which I will not put.

[Hoyt]

7. Since I don't have to agree with her, I'm fine if she's on when I'm listening.

[Jilly_in_VA]

9. I do not like you, Mrs. Greenspan

Go away. And take Chuck Toad with you.

[JohnSJ]

18. Her name is Andrea Mitchell. As for your assessment on her mediocre, bias journalistic abilities,

I agree with you

[Jilly_in_VA]

34. Call her what you want

I'll call her what I want.

[SharonClark]

36. You should call her by her name.

How sexist to call her by her husband’s name.

[USALiberal]

62. Sexist much???

[AkFemDem]

26. We are discussing Ms. Mitchell.

[NoMoreRepugs]

10. I've said it before - she is SO past her expiration date. A moldy oldy. (Note - I'm 72)

[Klaralven]

11. It's just disdain for anyone she thinks is not as smart as she; not part of the DC intelligentsia

[kimbutgar]

12. My husband had her on today and I asked why he was watching that pos

He said he was just flipping around turned to msnbc and then changed the channel. In that 1 minute I heard her bashing President Biden for something petty while she never went after TFG who was a trillion times worst!

[sop]

13. I can't stand her constant stammering and nervous, halting style. Drives me crazy.

[Ritabert]

14. Mrs. Alan Greenspan doesn't like Democrats

I never watch her. She's painful to watch.

[JohnSJ]

19. Her name is Andrea Mitchell. I agree with your assessment that she has a bias against Democrats

[Ritabert]

20. She's married to Alan Greenspan who helped

...screw up our economy.

[Caliman73]

27. True, but when you reduce her to Mrs. Greenspan you do two things...

even if not intentionally.

1. You imply that women only convey the thoughts and attitudes of their husbands, which kind of sounds sexist.

2. You absolve Mitchell of any responsibility for her own views, which to me are abhorrent.

Andrea Mitchell did marry Alan Greenspan. Alan Greenspan is a Ayn Rand loving idiot who did infact ruin our economy. However, I am sure that Andea Mitchell held her abhorrent views BEFORE marrying Greenspan, and likely married him BECAUSE they had views in common.

Mitchell is her own monster. She kept her name because she wanted to be seen as her own person. She should be scrutinized on her own abhorrent views, not only on the basis of who she married.

[SharonClark]

38. Thank you. Well said.

[TomSlick]

58. I don't refer to her as Mrs. Greenspan because that is not the name she prefers.

Nevertheless, anyone, male or female, who would marry an Ayn Rand ideologue is likely an Ayn Rand ideologue. It is informative that Andrea Mitchell is married to Alan Greenspan. It is obvious that she has an overarching GQP - or at least anti-Democratic- bias. She was once a journalist but now she is just a political hack.

Ms. Mitchell was a trail blazer. Now, she's just beyond her sell-by date. Why NBC/MSNBC give her air-time is a mystery to me.

[Caliman73]

63. True. But all that can be said without referring to her as Mrs. Greenspan.

SHE is probably an Ayn Rand acolyte. SHE is a political hack. Her husband is just a guy she chose to be married to because they agree on key ideas about the world.

If my wife had chosen to keep her last name and people kept referring to her as Mrs. MyLastName, I would actually be offended for her. I know she is my wife, she knows I am her husband, but she wanted to maintain her independent identity for business purposes, or whatever. People not calling someone by their chosen identity is an offense. Did people call Muhammad Ali, Cassius Clay after he changed it? (Those who did, dis so denigrate him and disrespect his conversion to Islam).

It doesn't matter what Andrea Mitchell is, we all have opinions on what she is. It does matter who she is. She isn't Mrs. Greenspan, she is Andrea Mitchell. If her name was Andrea Greenspan then we could call her that without the sexist implications because she had chosen to take on that identity.

[Random Boomer]

44. So this is your idea of how to insult a woman

You strip away her individuality and then associate her with her husband's sins.

I'd say that Andrea Mitchell has quite enough sins of her own for you to criticize directly.

[JohnSJ]

48. +++

[LenaBaby61]

57. She's married to Alan Greenspan who helped to screw up our economy ...

Yes he did but he got away with it. He's a Rethug, and they usually never pay for their crimes.

Mrs. Greenspan of the "But her emails" fame sucks, and she was oftentimes WRONG about what she was trying to say, and for me that was true PRIOR to 2016. I haven't watched her in over 5 years, but friends who can stomach watching, and she's still up to her old tricks they tell me.

Retirement is out of the question for her, as she can read her lies and anti-American/Anti-Democratic stories.

[AkFemDem]

28. What is with this "Mrs Greenspan" crap?

She has plenty to criticize, we don’t need to stoop to sexist tropes that only validate the patriarchy to criticize her.

[Ritabert]

32. I'm trying to figure out if she's wrong

....strictly on her own merits or if she listens to her husband.

[Random Boomer]

45. Her husband, Mr. Andrea Mitchell?

Or does that insult only go one way?

[BradAllison]

51. He might as well of been "Mr Ayn Rand" n/m

[NEOH]

15. When Working From Home...

Hubby is retired so MSNBC is always on the teevee. When I'm working from home, I always know when the Greenspan/Toad duet starts as of 12 noon, off goes MSNBC and on goes Star Treck. Promptly at 2, MSNBC is back on.

[Ritabert]

21. I agree with you. Never watch them.

[malaise]

29. Well to be pellucidly clear

The only thing she really likes is name calling

[themaguffin]

31. I can't listen to her & haven't for years. She's terrible.

[budkin]

33. Cable news is horrible

Turn it off.

[joetheman]

35. She doesn't like any one with brains and decency. nt

[bucolic_frolic]

37. Her and Greenspan have had too much power

He was nothing but an economist libertarian in disguise. We have these crises, asset bubbles, because of his low interest rate policies. Instead of allowing the economy to clear with recession, he kept pumping it up and his successors followed suit. What we have now is massive over investment in everything that can only be paid for with more debt (since no one wants higher taxes). That why growth prospects are bleak for the coming decades.

[Cozmo]

39. What took you so long?

[Baitball Blogger]

43. You think?

[ailsagirl]

46. That figures

[Takket]

49. I'll never forget...

When Biden went to the hospital for a twisted ankle or whatever it was. And after four years of drumpf lying to us she said “Biden us not being as forthcoming with us about his health as we might have hoped”, while in the background they are LITERALLY showing a shot of him on camera walking out of the hospital.

You have VIDEO of him walking. How much more forthcoming could they possibly be???

[appleannie1]

50. She doesn't even really like herself. She just thinks she know more than anyone else, that's all.

[NewHendoLib]

52. she doesn't exist in my world

I've never watched. then again, that goes for the media in general for us

[NurseJackie]

53. She's not a journalist. Her agenda is obvious. Why hasn't been forced into retirement?

Nobody would miss her. I'm sure Alan Greenspan would appreciate having his wife at home more.

[tiredtoo]

56. For me

She is in the same garbage can as chuck todd.

[oasis]

59. Glorified hack.
