(26,076 posts)I do not give a damn how she votes or anything else, It is sexist as fuck to call her this. She goes by Andrea Mitchell.
Brainfodder
(6,423 posts)No and bye.
ProfessorGAC
(65,042 posts)She did not take Al's name when they married.
You may not think it sexist, but it's indisputably wrong.
Her last name, legally, is Mitchell.

(6,423 posts)No and bye.

(115,704 posts)If enough people stop watching, maybe she'll be replaced. But watching and complaining is pointless. I don't watch tv programs I don't like.

(53,778 posts)of an option to switch to CNN but now with their rightward shift even that's out, as is FOX of course so I either turn her off or see what's up on DU or TCM.
She'll be gone soon as she's announced her upcoming retirement.

brush
(53,778 posts)contraction of print journalism (papers and magazines closing all over the country, sadly and ironically because of what we're doing right now, getting news online), that option is kind of hit and miss. You kind of have to be in a big city that has enough advertisers to support good print journalism.
It's a grave time for print and I see little chance for a rebound. I worked for Newsday in New York and I remember back in the '90s with the advent of the internet when the newspaper industry struggled to try to monetize the content it produces for an online revenue stream.
It failed miserably for the most part, coming up with easily circumvented paywalls and few if any deals made for it's valuable content.

Saved over 10G and diverted to mental wellness cannabis instead starting in mid '17.

(28,261 posts)Particularly now, when CNN shows intentions of becoming Fox News Lite, and Rachel has cut herself back to one night a week, and election season is upon us, and a criminally insane ex-president is furnishing us with dangerous history every single day. Andrea Mitchell is a liability we cannot afford, anymore. Once she's gone, we can turn our attentions to Chuck Todd.

(25,939 posts)I never see her on my TV, and the only time I even give her a passing thought is when someone here complains.
First diner: the food here is terrible.
Second diner, yes, and the portions are so small.

Second Deadhead: Yes, and the concert was way too short.

(53,032 posts)I'm over the sexism. Would you say the same about Biden?
Stinky The Clown
(67,799 posts)iemanja
(53,032 posts)Rather than sexist excuses. Most of the posts about her are sexist, from "Mrs. Greenspan" to her age. They could discuss the content of what she says that bothers them, but many don't.
Stinky The Clown
(67,799 posts)iemanja
(53,032 posts)Criticizing a woman's age is most cases about sexism. Calling a woman "Mrs. Greenspan" is absolutely sexist, and deliberately so.
Celerity

(1,580 posts)She is biased. And her biases creep into her reports
iemanja
(53,032 posts)The OP was most certainly about age.
Let's not pretend you don't want bias in journalism. You want cheerleaders for the Democratic Party. Anything short of that angers people around here.
Stinky The Clown
(67,799 posts)I'm old, too. I see how she is losing her capacity to keep a line of thought at the fore as she goes on about a story. Sorry, that is a mental decline due to age. Many of us geezers suffer the same. Its okay in general, but not okay when her job is to cogently and intelligently tell us news.
To you personally. You seem angry about this. Wanna tell us why?
iemanja
(53,032 posts)who is four years younger than the President they insist isn't too old. Older women are meant to hide from public view because they offend male sensibilities. I haven't once seen a male broadcaster criticized here due to age.
I remember when we were told Hillary Clinton was too old to be president, all while Bernie Sanders wasn't. Clinton is 6 years younger than Bernie.
Celerity
(43,383 posts)I don't care what caused it, if it is ageing, so be it, but the stance stands as valid for me. She is a rambling, incoherent wreck as well as being RW in her bias.
tavernier
(12,388 posts)so against my better judgement I turned on her time slot. And there she was arguing with her guests about Biden making a big mistake granting loans to students, and even when they disagreed, she had to play a fox clip to back her up.
She never disappoints.
snowybirdie
(5,227 posts)She's announced her retirement soon. Chill we need to stick together.
RussBLib
(9,014 posts)I'll bet she wants to stay thru the midterms.
Stinky The Clown
(67,799 posts)I have not seen a second source of this news. I HOPE its true, but so far . . . . nope.
