I was pleased to learn that this evening's coverage of the hearing on MSNBC

[Ocelot II]

will not feature commentary by Andrea Mitchell.

[Sucha NastyWoman]

1. No Chuck Todd either?

Anyone else is fine with me.

[2naSalit]

3. Nope.

Might be a demand of Maddow's. If I were her, I'd have been fed up with those two, in particular, several years ago.

[Sucha NastyWoman]

7. No, Rachel is actually a fan of Andrea Mitchell

She is historically important for womens progress in journalism. I think Andrea just stayed a bit too long.

[Hekate]

10. Thanks for pointing that out. Andrea was a pioneer for women & that should be remembered...

It’s just that, unfortunately, we all get old, and she needs to have a grand retirement party about now, complete with cake and awards and speeches.

[ificandream]

17. Speaking as an older person (70) and an ex-journalist, these rants against her bother me a lot.

She's had a great career in journalism. We all get older. People need to leave her alone. This is the type of stuff the lowlifes at Fox do. We shouldn't give them fuel to feed on. I also get perturbed about the comments on Chuck Todd. ANYONE on MSNBC is better than the grub dividing our country and spreading misinformation every day on Fox. We need to keep that in mind. Fox is your real enemy, not MSNBC.

[calimary]

21. Retired professional journalist here.

We see Andrea Mitchell differently, my friend.

We both agree she’s had an absolutely stellar career, and worked hard at it. But she’s beyond the realistic end of it, and as she ages, I notice some increasingly glaring problems.

She gets messed up more easily now, sounding addled, losing her place in her copy or in what she was trying to adlib. It’s starting to look bad and make HER look bad.

I would love to see her make a grand exit with maybe a special retrospective of her work at NBC News, so she goes out celebrated, gracefully, head held high, and nobody has to see an increasingly uncomfortable slow-walk decline.

[llmart]

23. "...nobody has to see an increasingly uncomfortable slow-walk decline."

That ship has sailed. I used to respect her, but she's forgotten the part about being an unbiased journalist.

[Ocelot II]

22. I am an even older person, and my gripe about Mitchell has nothing to do

with her age; I've found her annoying for decades. Yes, she's better than anybody on Fox, but that's a low bar.

[msfiddlestix]

33. ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ n/t

[Hekate]

32. I think she's my age, which is a bit of a shocker...

I’m with you — she’s had a great and pioneering career in journalism. I don’t agree with a lot of what she says these days, and I do think she’s diminished — but I don’t like to see her reviled as though she just showed up, somebody handed her the job and she’s never been anything else.

[2naSalit]

24. Sadly...

Staying past her prime was damaging. I was never a fan of hers, other women of that era, sure but her, not so much.

[catbyte]

25. She's historically important, but I will never forgive her for how she treated Hillary in 2016.

Shame on her for that. It's a huge stain on an otherwise distinguished career.

[LisaM]

30. Yep, same.

There was absolutely no excuse for that clear bias. I simply did not understand it. She was not the only one to be unfair to HRC, but I expected better from a fellow trailblazer.

[MadLinguist]

2. Halle fuckin lujah !

[MOMFUDSKI]

4. You got it

Mad. Great news. Enjoy the nite you guys.

[MOMFUDSKI]

12. You got it

Mad. Great news. Enjoy the nite you guys.

[Just_Vote_Dem]

5. +1000 n/t

[brooklynite]

6. Because she's a daytime correspondent.

[Ocelot II]

8. Sort of a reverse Dracula.

[paleotn]

26. And a complete moron.

[gab13by13]

9. Bothsiderism will be there,

he just insinuated on his show that Tony Ornato was the only SS bad egg.

[Just_Vote_Dem]

11. Todd? n/t

[Just_Vote_Dem]

18. Ah, that was answered above

And i just got new glasses

[Kingofalldems]

13. The worst of them all is CNN's Michael Smerconish.

Both sides-er extraordinaire. Said we needed to listen to the Tea Party among other things. Also thinks he knows just about everything.

[ificandream]

34. First, he's a pundit who spouts opinions, not news. And he's not liberal. So I ignore him.

[ashredux]

14. Ahhh...relief

[wnylib]

16. I watch on PBS with Judy Woodruff.

No both siderism there.

[jaxexpat]

28. Judy stretches credibility occasionally.

I think it's her need to remain believable which she perhaps thinks requires facts to be accompanied by other-side-does-things-too-ism. But more to fault Democrats than to illuminate the faults of the GOP.

[BlackOpz]

19. Yep, Andrea is TERRIBLE - Husband was a Fed Chairman (influence) but Good Grief She NEEDS TO GO!!

[ShazzieB]

20. This isn't really news. It's more like business as usual. 😉

The panel doing the January 6 hearing recaps has never included Andrea Mitchell or Chuck Todd.

[Going to Canada]

27. I am on the edge of the couch!

This is like something we have collectively never experienced! Holding these people accountable! Chills!

[ificandream]

29. Fox should be the one you are pissing on, not MSNBC, for goodness sakes.

This was posted on another thread. Maybe some of you missed it. Hint: They're not talking about Andrea Mitchell.

Fox News 'fails to adhere to basic journalistic standards', says credibility rater Newsguard

Source: The Press Gazette

By Bron Maher

Fox News‘ credibility score has been downgraded to “red” by media watchdog Newsguard, meaning it “fails to adhere to several basic journalistic standards”.

Fox has had an overall passing score since the ratings agency launched in 2018. (Disclosure: the author of this story, Bron Maher, was formerly a Newsguard employee.)

Newsguard garnered headlines in early 2019 for giving a “red” rating to Mail Online – that rating was shortly reversed, and the site now sports a green rating.

Fox had already failed one major criteria – “gathers and presents information responsibly” – prior to 18 July, when the rating was downgraded.

[Rebl2]

31. Good

I have been watching it on ABC. Refuse to watch NBC or MSNBC if Mitchell is on.
