I fully hate Andrea Mitchell. She is totally useless. How does
MSNBC even allow that drugged-up harpy her own time slot?

1. Don't worry, she's on during the least-watched hours of cable news.
The big guns (KO & Rachel) have the prime slots.

MSNBC is pro-R in the mornings and early afternoon, but who's watching? They then do a 180 starting with Tweets and keep the more-liberal people's shows on a prime-time loop.

3. She was just scolding Reich for saying McSame is "erratic". Apparently
now you're not allowed to use the word erratic because it means you're making fun of an old man. She is one stupid woman.

11. When you are married to an 'old-man' Greenspan, you get defensive...
I mean Greenspan is 10 years OLDER than McCain!

2.  Andrea Mitchell is just doing her job. She's not working for Obama's campaign

I wish Fox news was as fair to both sides as MSNBC

9. It's not her job to lie either. That excuse doesn't cut it, Fox News or not ...
Edited on Tue Oct-14-08 01:01 PM by ReadTomPaine
and the acceptance of bald faced lies spoken as truth is a big part of the problem. If she's bold enough to lie, then someone from a position of power should be bold enough to call her on it.

Lying to the public should have consequences esp when the stakes are this high and the person doing the lying is ostensibly a journalist. 'Wishing' won't fix the problem - a strong party with the will to strike back and strike hard will. Don't let conservatives get away with this - whether it's a racist republican neighbor or Andrea Mitchell. Call them on it, make life a hell so they back off and crawl into the basement of American politics where they belong.

6. Although reserved for old men, she is, for a lack of a better phrase...
A dottering old fool.


(Doddering??)


Having a senior moment, here....heh....

10. She doesn't bother me.
I've seen her be very positive about Dems. I think that when you have been around as long as she has, you naturally see these people as people, and are therefore reluctant to be quite as hard on them as many here would like. It could be argued that in that case it is time for her to quit, and maybe that's true.

12. she is epically awful
drags out her repuke cocktail party friends to blather in support of their proprietary interests.

and "drugged harpy," though I'll be attacked for sexism, is pretty accurate.
