Andrea Mitchell analyzing John Fetterman's aphasia is some rich shit.

Andrea Mitchell has an agenda. She degraded John Fetterman when talking about last nights debate. All about his stroke. What’s her excuse? She can’t find words when trying to form a sentence.

Oh God, Andrea Mitchell and Chuck Todd? What did Pittsburgh and Pennsylvania do to deserve this plague? Isn't a lying conman of a carpetbagger enough?

Dear @MSNBC we are concerned about Andrea Mitchell's stumbling cognitive performance and question whether she should be televised in a venue where quick thinking is required. I've checked with a panel of experts and we all agree.

====

ugggh. Andrea Mitchell is doing to Fetterman the same shit she did to Hillary Clinton during the 2016 election.

MSNBC, she needs to go.

[Lovie777]

1. Them attacking a person who just had a stroke and was ......

courageous enough to debate has got some serious demons.

Todd and Mitchell are the poster child of such demons.

[onecaliberal]

3. Oh don't worry it's just Fox News doing it...

[brooklynite]

2. "MSNBC, she needs to go"

As long as her critics keep watching.....

[W_HAMILTON]

7. I'm her critic and I purposefully boycott her time slot...

... and, judging from her poor ratings, there are many more like me out there.

[calimary]

18. Poor ratings? Then why is she still on? Probably has a VERY powerful agent.

I don't watch her, either. I'm not a masochist. I just can't do that to myself anymore.

And I've been retired from the news biz for more than a few years, but I can still spot anti-Democratic bias when I hear it.

[W_HAMILTON]

20. That's a good question.

As outsiders, we can only speculate.

She looks to be the second-worst rated weekday MSNBC host that has their own show (https://ustvdb.com/networks/msnbc/). I thought I read that they were going to dump her like they did Chuck Todd -- because he, too, had such poor ratings -- and yet I hear that she's still on the air. As long as she's in that slot, that's one hour a day that MSNBC can guarantee that I (and many others, apparently) won't be a viewer.

[Meadowoak]

32. I wonder if Andrea's hubby, Alan Greenspan, might have some financial

Dirt on MSNBC? They're keeping her around for some reason, and it's not because she's good at her job.

[ProfessorGAC]

51. Highly Doubtful

There's nothing in his history to suggest he has been privy to undisclosed information for a gigantic, publicly traded company.
It's simpler to connect it to Todd & his clout with programming management & with Mitchell.

[SergeStorms]

23. I don't know ANYONE who watches her.

She must have signed a contract with the devil (Alan Greenspan?) because there's no reason for her to still be hosting a show.

Retire already, Andrea, and take your pal Chuck with you!

[2naSalit]

40. +1

[calimary]

42. Well, in her defense, I will concede that her super-annoying longer-than-long question set-ups

do allow for frequent bathroom breaks, at least.

[Hope22]

43. LOL! nt

[calimary]

45. Welcome to DU, Hope22!

I should apologize here. I'm kinda rough on Andrea Mitchell. But she's risen to the loftiest heights, in many cases well-deserved cuz she sure covered a boatload of significant stories through the years. But I think that background compels us to judge her by the highest standards one would judge ANYBODY that prominent in the news biz for that long.

And there's so much she does on-camera now that really annoys me, which I honestly don't remember being annoyed by in the past.

[Hope22]

46. No need for apology. : )

She has had her day in the sun. They keep her because she will disrupt and make insinuations when deadlines close in. She doesn’t even try to hide her bias.

[uponit7771]

50. Nope, its the bundling in media packages that get her on. I think there was a story on Cucker ...

... Tarlson and the fact he has no real national level sponsors but doesn't have to care because he's bundled with so many media packages.

[cksmithy]

22. I very rarely check her show,

always have the mute on, always cc on, so I don't have to hear her voice, if there is someone I want to hear I unmute. Usually I change to see what bbc has on. If I'm not interested then stream sky news or a British show, acorn, brit box. I love my roku.

[calimary]

44. Welcome to DU, cksmithy!

I even find her voice grating, sometimes even moreso than her commentary is.

[lunatica]

53. Yeah! Me too!

[doc03]

4. The Morning Joe gang was on the bash Fetterman

thing too this morning

[True Blue American]

9. I never watch Andrea.

Have been watching John Berman and Brianna, 2 great hosts. Replacing them with Don Lemon, 2 women who are going to sit around drinking coffee, according to the ads. Another Joe show.

[iluvtennis]

26. What - CNN will break up John and Brianna. That's not a good thing. We 6am - 9am folks

really enjoy John Berman and Brianna Keilar.

CNN will lose me in this time slot - will be listening to talk radio on Sirius XM.

[SergeStorms]

24. I caught some of that....

turned it off and went for a walk to cool down.

[Meadowoak]

33. Yeah, MSNBC probably gave a directive to their hosts to bash

Fetterman, and promote Oz. Corporate America wants Republican control. Taxes and regulations are not popular among the filthy rich.

[Rebl2]

39. Haven't joey

In a long while. For good reason!

[dhol82]

54. Don't watch that show either.

I have slimmed down my MSNBC schedule significantly.
Andrea and Chuckie are definitely not on my list!

[Cha]

5. BC of course she did.. Grateful Twitter

is taking her down.. an ol' Chuck Todd.

I see her name and I get triggered with nightmare memories.


TY iluvtennis!

[Hope22]

6. Yes the crypt keeper needs to step aside.

If she could take Chuckie with her that would be perfect. These two bags of sad need to go!

[crickets]

13. Agreed. Welcome to DU, Hope22!

[Hope22]

48. Thanks! : )

[Cha]

16. Well said, Hope22. 💕🤷‍♂️

[iluvtennis]

29. Yes, Welcome to DU Hope22.

[Hope22]

47. Thanks! : )

[iluvtennis]

28. Agree with you about the nighmares Cha. I stopped watching Andrea over 4 years ago when she trashed

Hillary during 2016 election cycle.

[Polly Hennessey]

8. I thought she announced her retirement?

Was I dreaming?

[GreenWave]

25. I remember that too.

Are we in an alternate universe?

[W_HAMILTON]

31. If so, I'm in the same universe.

I could have sworn that there was news awhile back that we wouldn't have to put up with her much more soon, and yet I still hear that she's spewing her particular brand of stupidity every day.

[Paladin]

10. Mitchell and Todd must have a stack of incriminating photos.

Some really twisted sexual stuff, involving MSNBC management. Both of them should have been fired in 2016, for what they did to Hillary. Instead, they're still snug in their jobs, trashing the verbal performance of a Democratic candidate in a critical election. Fuck this noise.

[NCDem47]

19. I was going to say the same thing!!

She certainly has some teflon powers. She probably knows where are all the bodies are buried at NBC bceause she has been there a looooooooooooong time.

[GreenWave]

27. I wonder if KO has something to say?

He doesn't hold back.

[padah513]

30. I hope so too

He definitely would know

[Meadowoak]

34. Mitchell and Todd push the narrative that the top brass at MSNBC absolutely love

They want Republican control.

[otchmoson]

11. I wrote to MSNBC, but got no response

A few weeks ago I contacted MSNBC to voice a polite complaint re: Mitchell. While I'm sure she has "paid her dues", there comes a time when she should relinquish her seat to someone else. Her stammering and occasional incoherence can become grating. I expect she lives for her Queenly status, because I see that she brings very little to her program. My only solution was to take a mid-day break and turn off programming between 12 and 1. (Sadly, when she co-hosts with some of the more competent talkers for special coverage, I find myself on the horns of a dilemma. Do I turn the program off? or grit my teeth and endure?) It seems the height of hypocrisy for her to criticize Fetterman. He at least has a medical reason that will hopefully improve. All she has is advanced age and failure to self-critique.

[Traildogbob]

12. Talk about a "witch hunt"!

That “witch is hunting” for a way to help GQP kill democracy, so she and her billionaire husband continue to pay no taxes. Cancel her ass, FFS.

[doc03]

14. Has she said anything about Hershall Walker's

debates? Never mind.

[SoBlueInFL]

15. Isn't that the pot calling the kettle black? r/o

To our knowledge, she has not had a stroke but she has verbal stumbles all the time. I thought that might be one of the reasons that she announced her upcoming retirement.

I hate ableism and ageism so much. Fetterman is recovering well and only has slight disabilities right now. The media needs to leave him alone.

[Rebl2]

38. Did not

Know she was retiring. Long overdue. Never watch her.

[nuxvomica]

17. Yesterday she played up the Ukraine letter

Saying it was a "slight embarrassment to the Democrats, well, more than a slight embarrassment *chuckle* *chuckle*." I say Mitchell is a "slight embarrassment to MSNBC, well...."

[claudette]

21. Mitchell is

more difficult to understand than Fetterman and Herschel Walker. What’s her excuse?

[Joinfortmill]

35. Retire, already.

[pamdb]

36. Andrea

I thought Mrs. Greenspan was (FINALLY) going to retire. What happened with that? She is sooooooo pathetic.

[Rebl2]

37. She regularly

stumbles over her words and thoughts. How would she like it if someone pointed this out to her on national tv?

[Iggo]

41. She ain't dead yet?

[aggiesal]

49. I can't stand watching her show and not because I don't like her views, which I don't ...

but she is way too slow on the uptake, along with her monotone voice, I feel like yelling at the TV, "COME ON, spit it out.".

[samplegirl]

52. Why don't the

Rich bitch retire already!

[certainot]

55. RETIRE!!!!

[CaliforniaHoustonian]

56. I found CNN & Smerconish doing the same, &

Here is my response:

Smerconish & CNN lean Republican which explains Smerconish's discounting of OZ wanting local politicians involved in a young girl or woman's need for an abortion A.S.A.P.

And what is it that senators even do that requires perfect English? We all know their staff do most of the work. All Fetterman needs to do is vote correctly on issues brought to him, like Supreme Court Justices. Are you happy or proud of the 1s the RNC has saddled US with?

57. Mitchell and other reporters

had a chance to celebrate that a person could come back so quickly from a stroke and do as well as he did. Instead they chose to use any stumbles in speech to denigrate him. Never forget who Mitchell really is and has been her whole life. A Washington cocktail party denizen married to a man who always saw any wage increases by the middle class and working poor as an inflationary evil. People like her look down on average people and they view it as their "job" to pick them apart and cast aspersions. Those reporters who crave to rise in her shadow take their cues from her. The same for Todd. MSNBC has been a mixed bag at best for a very long time.

[iluvtennis]

58. Well said. n/t

[marieo1]

59. Disgusting piece of humanity

Andrea Mitchell has always been a creep!!

[GoodRaisin]

60. I turned her off a long time ago. But, it is no surprise

she would join in with Republicans to poo poo Fedderman’s debate disabilities. Debates don’t mean a lot to me anymore though, as they have little more than entertainment value in front of all the voters who have already made up their minds. It’s pretty obvious in this case which candidate isn’t fit for office and I don’t need either Andrea Mitchell or to watch Oz “talk about the issues” to help me make up my mind.

[BlueMTexpat]

61. Same here about Mitchell!

She should no longer be on the air at all!
