Why did Andrea Mitchell repeat Peter King's version of what Petraeus said

[malaise]

Eff you Andrea Mitchell - you have no credibility whatsoever.

1. Because the election is over ...

But the script remains, unchanged?

[hrmjustin]

2. She is showing her true colors.

[Skidmore]

3. I always see her a schmoozer...out to get the

best cocktail party invitations and have the fattest contact book. She could care less about content, IMHO.

4. Cause we are desperate for a scandal

Headline should be why is the chairman talking of a closed door (read classified) meeting.

5. If Peter King, a known liar, says it...

IT MUST BE TRUE ACCORDING TO ANDREA...wtf?

[Spazito]

6. Ratings, ratings, ratings...

No controversy = lower ratings = lower ad rates

Repeating the lying repubs trying to drum up a nonexistent scandal in hopes of keeping viewers watching.

She also leans right which makes it even easier to cater to the repub liars, imo.

7. cuz the MIC RULES at NBC News. Don't expect anything else, even from Rachel.

It's great when Rachel and others denounce the MIC, but they are treading a fine line when they do that, and I don't expect it from MSNBC, which fired Donahue for having anti war guests in the run up to Iraq. Despite Donahue having the best ratings on the channel at the time.
